Job Description

This role is both hands-on and strategic, with a strong emphasis on network security, compliance monitoring, and risk management.

-Lead and manage the security of information systems, including network, server, cloud, and application environments
-Oversee and continuously monitor compliance with DoD, NIST, RMF, FISMA, and related federal security frameworks
-Serve as the primary point of contact for security audits, assessments, and authorization activities (A&A)
-Implement and maintain technical security controls, including STIGs, vulnerability management, and security monitoring
-Monitor and assess system security posture through log analysis, vulnerability scans, and compliance reporting
-Partner with infrastructure and networking teams to ensure secure network architecture and operations
-Manage and support Linux and Red Hat–based systems, including hardening, patching, and access control
-Provide guidance and leadership on incident response, risk mitigation, and remediation efforts
-Develop, maintain, and review security documentation, including SSPs, POA&Ms, SARs, and SOPs
-Act as a trusted security advisor to technical teams and leadership, recommending best practices and improvements
-Support cloud and hybrid environments with a strong focus on secure networking and access control
