Job Description
About the Program We are hiring for a multi-year prime contract to enhance, sustain, and secure a classified enterprise web application supporting a Department of Defense mission partner. The platform serves a large community of users and is engineered with a modern stack: Angular/React front ends, Java/Python/Node.js services, containerized microservices, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch data stores, and CI/CD deployment into a government cloud environment. The program runs Agile, ships regularly, and operates under a formal Risk Management Framework (RMF) accreditation. About the Role You will own the infrastructure that keeps our federal mission partner’s, mission-critical application running across two separate government cloud environments. This position is designated as the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) of record, making you the day-to-day security conscience of the platform in addition to its primary systems administrator. What You'll Do Design, implement, and manage project infrastructure to ensure system reliability, scalability, and security. Install, configure, and patch system components; monitor and optimize system performance and capacity; resolve issues as they arise. Maintain system documentation, security controls, and compliance/ATO documentation. Perform security scans and execute data ingests and test scripts supporting releases. Serve as the ISSO of record — owning RMF artifacts, POA&Ms, STIG application, and coordination with the government CIO on the system's accreditation lifecycle. Partner with developers and DevOps engineers to integrate security into the pipeline from the earliest stages. What You Bring Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field (four additional years of specialized experience may substitute). 3+ years of systems administration experience in secure, enterprise, or DoD environments. Experience supporting Agile software development teams. Background supporting DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and common development tools (Git, Jenkins, Jira). Familiarity with STIGs, RMF, DISA guidance, and other DoD compliance frameworks. Working knowledge of the ATO process. Certifications (Required at Time of Award) Microsoft, Linux, or VMware certification. Security+ CE certification or equivalent/higher level DoD 8140 (prev. 8570 IAT Level II) equivalent or higher.
