Job Description

We are seeking a highly proactive, "self-starting" Software Assurance (SwA) Engineer to lead the effort in securing a Software Assessment (SwA) Only Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) for a complex, government-wide software package.
You will not just be managing a checklist; you will be actively building, writing, and gathering the required artifacts. You must be capable of working cross-functionally, integrating directly with our Development, MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering), and Management teams to extract necessary system details and translate them into compliant RMF and MDA-specific documentation.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.

Required Skills & Experience

• Demonstrated success in achieving ATOs (preferably SwA Only or Fast Track) within DoD environments, specifically MDA.
• Familiarity with DoD SRGs, STIGs, and container hardening guidelines.
• Strong technical writing skills with a portfolio of previously authored ATO artifacts (PPSM, System Security Plans, Policy 16 docs, etc.).
• DoD 8570/8140 compliance (e.g., Security+, CISSP) preferred.
- Familiarity with GitLab.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
