Job Description
Why This Role
This isn't a checkbox ISSO seat. You'll serve as the primary security POC for classified information systems operating on JWICS — including AI/ML platforms that directly support warfighter capabilities. You'll partner with the ISSM and program leadership to maintain ATOs, drive RMF compliance, and provide hands-on security guidance to engineering teams building real-world mission tools. If you want your work to matter, this is the gig.
What You'll Do
Own the security posture of assigned classified systems, including JWICS-hosted AI/ML platforms — continuous monitoring, not just annual reviews
Develop, review, and maintain SSPs, SARs, and POA&Ms
Lead ATO efforts under ICD 503, NIST RMF, and applicable IC directives
Conduct vulnerability scans, security assessments, and compliance audits across assigned systems
Monitor audit trails, system logs, and security events; triage and escalate incidents
Coordinate with the ISSM to ensure security controls are implemented, tested, and documented
Enforce STIGs, CIS Benchmarks, and configuration baselines across classified environments
Advise development and engineering teams on integrating AI/ML capabilities into classified networks
Maintain all A&A documentation and security artifacts in audit-ready condition
Liaise directly with government ISSMs, AOs, and security personnel on all security matters
What You Bring
7–10 years in information systems security, cybersecurity, or a related discipline within DoD, IC, or defense contractor environments
Active TS/SCI clearance; ability to obtain CI Polygraph (prior CI Poly strongly preferred)
Demonstrated experience supporting ATO processes under NIST RMF and ICD 503 in IC or DoD environments
Proficiency with SIEMs, vulnerability scanners, and audit log analysis tools
Familiarity with JWICS, cross-domain solutions, and classified network architectures
Working knowledge of STIGs, SCAP, and configuration management in classified settings
Current DoD 8570/8140 compliant certification: CISSP, Security+, CAP, or equivalent
Nice to Have
Experience with AI/ML system security considerations in classified environments
AWS GovCloud or Azure Government security experience
Military Intelligence or IC background
