We are seeking an experienced Security Architect - FedRAMP to join our Information Security team. In this role, you will design secure cloud architectures and security control plane components and interconnections. You'll define and document FedRAMP boundaries, and recommend management plane and customer data plane configurations that meet stringent federal standards. With your deep expertise in (multi-)cloud security, encryption, networking, multi-tenancy isolation, and defense in depth, you'll empower clients to achieve and maintain FedRAMP (High) and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 authorization.

Essential Functions Of The Job

• Secure Architecture Leadership: Design and implement cloud security architectures (SaaS / application management, customer data, and security control planes) that meet FedRAMP and highly controlled Federal security requirements.
• Collaborate with Compliance to design and implement controls, specify engineering standards and requirements, and ensure audit readiness with technical and regulatory expertise.
• FedRAMP Technical Authority: Provide technical leadership on the authorization boundary, ensuring FedRAMP compliance.
• Cloud Security Expertise: Recommend secure configurations for cloud services (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government), balancing FedRAMP and security best practices.
• Translations: Educate cross-functional partners (Engineering and IT) on how compliance drives architecture, detailing allowed encryption (e.g., FIPS 140-2), prohibited configurations, and optimal services.
• Tool Guidance: Select security tools and microservices to meet federal requirements.
• FedRAMP-Specific Guidance: Advise on requirements like container scanning (e.g., runtime security, image integrity) and design of Infrastructure as Code.
• Documentation: Develop and review deliverables, including Authorization Boundary, Network, and data flow diagrams, Front Matter for the System Security Plan (SSPs), and provide input to Change Control Plan, Contingency Plan, and Incident Response Plan.

About the team:

The Information Security organization advances the overall state of security at Client through purposeful initiatives and coordination of large security projects.

What you'll do:

• Partner with engineering teams across Client to create secure cloud infrastructure design and deployment architectures utilizing threat models and risk analysis documentation specific to a FedRAMP and IL4+ environment.
• Work with development teams, operations, governance, and other stakeholders to draft security standards and controls and implement monitoring, alerting, and governance to adhere to those specifications.
• Support incident responders in analyzing applicable threats, vulnerabilities, controls, and residual risks inside and out of the FedRAMP boundary.
• Analyze and harden existing applications, infrastructure, automation, and deployment processes partnering with multiple teams to design & implement solutions within the space.
• Execute Security impact Analysis reviews for all FedRAMP changes coming into the change management process.

Experience you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree required; BS or MS in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 15 years of experience including cloud technologies, technical architecture, and application development.
• 8+ years of experience in cloud security, with experience across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure infrastructure design.

• Broad knowledge of private and public cloud attack vectors and exploits.
• Subject matter expertise in CI/CD, Cloud APIs, and management.
• Deep understanding of compute, network, and storage technologies in AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
• Programming experience in Python, Go, or Java.
• Deep security policy subject matter expertise in at least one major public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience with deploying and securing SaaS applications and cloud environments at scale.
• Working experience with CI/CD pipeline, containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.), and MicroServices.
• Knowledge of IaC (Infrastructure as Code) concepts and implementing standards within them.
• Understanding of cloud security maturity model frameworks and how to apply them.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
