  • Configure the ATO Automation Platform's integration with Azure Government APIs to enable automated analysis of NSG rules and Key Vault configurations
  • Implement cross-account IAM roles enabling the ATO Automation Platform to perform read-only assessments of 50+ AWS accounts across an agency
  • Design hybrid cloud architecture supporting the ATO Automation Platform deployment for systems spanning on-premises data centers and commercial cloud
  • Conduct security assessment of the ATO Automation Platform's LLM processing to ensure compliance with agency data handling requirements

What you need to have

  • TS/SCI with an active Poly clearance
  • Deep expertise in cloud security architectures across AWS GovCloud and Azure Government
  • Strong understanding of cloud security services and compliance capabilities
  • Experience with FedRAMP authorization processes and cloud security requirements
  • Proficiency in cloud IAM design and least-privilege access models
  • Knowledge of network security architecture including VPCs, security groups, and network segmentation
  • Experience with encryption technologies and key management services
  • Understanding of API security and secure integration patterns
  • Familiarity with cloud compliance frameworks (AWS Security Best Practices, Azure Security Benchmark)

What we'd like you to have
  • Experience deploying security platforms in classified cloud environments (AWS Secret/Top Secret regions, Azure Government Secret)
  • Knowledge of DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) implementation
  • Prior experience with compliance automation platform deployments
  • Certifications: AWS Certified Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional)
