Maintain accurate documentation and evidence demonstrating implementation of applicable security controls
Serve as a security resource for engineers, product teams, and Platform stakeholders
Translate complex federal security requirements into clear, actionable engineering guidance
Collaborate with government security stakeholders, engineering teams, and other security SMEs to resolve security and compliance issues
Maintain clear and accurate security documentation, decision records, procedures, and implementation guidance
Participate in Agile ceremonies, security planning activities, architecture reviews, and cross-team Platform initiatives

Experience supporting security assessments, authorization activities, compliance reviews, or continuous monitoring
Working knowledge of NIST security controls and federal security frameworks
Experience assessing technical architectures, system integrations, data flows, and security risks
Understanding of Identity and Access Management concepts including authentication, authorization, identity lifecycle, roles, least privilege, separation of duties, and access management
Experience reviewing, tracking, and supporting remediation of security vulnerabilities
Familiarity with cloud environments and modern software development practices
Ability to work directly with engineers to translate security requirements into technical implementation guidance
Strong technical documentation and requirements-definition skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to operate independently as a security subject matter expert while collaborating effectively across engineering and product teams
