Cloud Security Architect

Cloud Security Architect

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how to secure it. As a cloud security architect, you will assess and implement requirements that ensure the safety of information systems and protect them against intentional or inadvertent access or destruction. Your advanced cloud security skills will be used to improve mission‑critical applications for the Intelligence Community (IC). You will guide the development of cloud‑based security architectures for some of the IC's most critical systems.

As a Cloud Security Architect on our team, you will evaluate and support documentation, validation, assessment, and accreditation processes necessary to ensure Information Technology (IT) systems meet organization‑wide Information Assurance (IA) and security requirements. You will assist in defining organizational risk thresholds, analyze actual system state to assess compliance, and help codify strategic objectives into doctrine, policies, and procedures. Your expertise will also be applied when evaluating computer applications to ensure that software assurance best practices are followed, and you will recommend tools and capabilities to address the Risk Management Framework (RMF).

Your role will involve collaboration with IC clients to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies and collaborate with tomorrow’s cloud security experts while securing critical applications.
