Job description

Description

 Athenix Special Missions is seeking a Data Security Engineer (DRM Specialist) - Senior, Zero Trust Program (USSOCOM) in MacDill Air Force Base (Tampa), Florida! 

ASM Quality Policy: To meet or exceed our customers' expectations for quality, delivery, and service through continual improvement, striving to meet our objectives, and committing to meeting all legal and statutory requirements


Must be a U.S. Citizen

Location: MacDill AFB, Florida

Clearance Requirement: Must have an Active DoD TS/SCI Clearance


Position:

We seeking a highly specialized Data Security Engineer (DRM Specialist) to serve as the subject matter expert for encryption standards and Digital Rights Management (DRM) within the USSOCOM Zero Trust program. While other engineers handle general labeling, your role is to ensure that the data itself is mathematically protected and self-defending, regardless of where it travels.


As the Senior DRM Specialist, you will be responsible for the configuration and enforcement of advanced encryption policies using Kiteworks (on SIPR and Top-Secret networks) and Microsoft Purview Information Protection (on NIPR). You will move the Command beyond simple file encryption to a granular, identity-aware protection model. You will design the "Data Policy Engine" rules that act as the Policy Decision Point (PDP), ensuring that a user's ability to decrypt a file is dynamically brokered in real-time based on their "Trust Attributes" (clearance, role, and risk level). You will also manage the complex Key Management lifecycles required to maintain a seamless user experience in a high-security, hybrid environment.

Responsibilities

  • Enterprise DRM Architecture: Architect and configure the Kiteworks Private Content Network (SIPR/Top Secret) and Microsoft Purview (NIPR) to serve as the central Policy Decision Points (PDP) for file access.
  • ABAC Policy Design: Translate NIST 8112 metadata attributes into concrete DRM policies (e.g., "Allow View ONLY if User.Clearance >=  TopSecret AND Device.State = Compliant").
  • Key Management: Manage the lifecycle of encryption keys (Bring Your Own Key - BYOK, Customer Managed Keys) ensuring FIPS 140-2/3 compliance and availability across hybrid and air-gapped environments.
  • Secure Collaboration: Configure advanced DRM features such as SafeVIEW and SafeEDIT in Kiteworks to allow users to view and edit sensitive documents in a secure, containerized stream without the data ever leaving the controlled repository.
  • Policy Enforcement: Define and enforce "Rights Management" controls, specifically preventing actions like Copy/Paste, Screen Capture, and Printing for documents tagged with specific sensitivity labels (e.g., CUI, Secret/NoForn).

Requirements

Qualifications


Minimum Clearance Required to Start

  • Active Top-Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.

Education

  • Senior Level: Master of Science (MS) degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Mathematics (Cryptography focus), or a related technical field.

Required Experience & Skills ("Must-Haves")

  • Senior Level: 10+ years of related technical experience.
  • DRM Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience (5+ years) designing and administering Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) or Information Rights Management (IRM) systems, specifically Kiteworks, Microsoft      Azure Information Protection (AIP/RMS), or Virtru.
  • Encryption Standards: Deep understanding of cryptographic protocols (AES-256, RSA), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Key Management Service (KMS) operations.
  • Policy Logic: Proven ability to design complex Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) logic and Conditional Access policies.
  • Cross-Domain Knowledge: Understanding of how encryption travels across Cross-Domain Solutions (CDS) and the challenges of key management in air-gapped networks.

Preferred Experience & Skills ("Nice-to-Haves")

  • Experience with Hardware Security Modules (HSM) (e.g., Thales, Entrust).
  • Knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 controls related to System and Information Integrity (SI) and Media Protection (MP).
  • Experience integrating DRM tools with SailPoint for identity attribute consumption.
  • Kiteworks Administrator Certification.

Certifications

  • Required: CompTIA Security+ CE (or higher) to meet DoD 8570 IAT Level II requirements.
  • Preferred: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator (SC-400).
  • Preferred: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).
