Aspis is hiring a Compliance / ATO Specialist to own security compliance and authorization work on a large Federal civilian cloud platform operations and maintenance program. The environment is hybrid: a FedRAMP-authorized AWS commercial cloud footprint alongside Azure, on-premises data centers, and legacy and mainframe-connected applications supporting hundreds of business applications. You will keep authorization packages current, run the continuous monitoring and POA&M cadence, maintain the compliance evidence repository, and carry the compliance story through FISMA reporting, A-123 testing, independent assessments, and penetration test cycles. It is the role that protects authorization continuity for the program, working closely with cybersecurity engineers, cloud engineers, system owners, and government stakeholders.

This is a full-time W-2 position supporting a federal government client as part of a contract delivery team. This is not designed to be a full-time remote position. Relocation assistance may be considered. The Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area is strongly preferred and candidates who reside in and can work from the Kansas City metro will receive preference; however, residency there is not required, and we will consider candidates elsewhere in the United States who are able to travel to the client sites as needed. Due to the support a federal client, working abroad (outside of the United States) is explicitly prohibited. Travel to Kansas City for remote workers will not be reimbursed. Consistent with Aspis' return to office and telework policy, employees are required to report to an Aspis office on a regular basis but may be allowed to work from home and are required to visit client job sites as applicable. The company reserves the right to change its employment policies at any time without notice.
