Cybersecurity Engineer - Clearance Required

Cydecor is a premier Federal Government solutions provider, delivering differentiated innovations in mission systems and business platforms. We leverage leading-edge secure systems and software development, backed by industry-leading subject matter expertise, and business intelligence to enable decision-support and remain ahead of ever-evolving national security challenges. Our success rests squarely on three bedrock principles:
People, our center of gravity;
Mission, what inspires us; and an unyielding commitment to Excellence, what separates us.

We’re looking for a cybersecurity engineer to support a large Navy readiness reporting program. The work is a mix of RMF and ATO sustainment, vulnerability management, and day-to-day cybersecurity engineering across an interconnected set of applications. You’ll spend time in eMASS, in scan results, and in conversation with developers, sysadmins, and a small cyber team — not in isolation. If you like the operational side of cybersecurity — keeping systems accredited, closing real findings, and writing things down so they make sense to the next person — this is that role.

• Maintain RMF accreditation packages in eMASS: security plans, control evidence, test results, and POA&Ms.
• Triage and disposition IAVAs and other cybersecurity directives. Track remediation to closure.
• Support ATO submissions and ongoing continuous-monitoring work as systems and their environments change.
• Apply STIGs. Run vulnerability scans. Recommend and implement fixes that actually close findings, not just hide them.
• Document what you do. Other people need to be able to pick it up and keep going.

• Keep your skills current. The DoD cyber landscape doesn’t sit still and neither should you.
• Communicate findings and risk clearly — in writing and out loud.
• Help build the team’s reusable patterns and procedures. Make the next ticket easier than the last one.
• Own your work. Escalate real problems early; don’t let them age.

• 5+ years in cybersecurity engineering, with 3+ years specialized in network security (firewalls, IPS, access controls, cross-domain solutions).
• 3+ years implementing RMF for DoD systems.
• Hands‑on eMASS experience. Comfortable in scanners (ACAS/Nessus or equivalent), STIG application, and POA&Ms management.
• Experience triaging and dispositioning IAVAs and other cybersecurity directives.
• IAM Level II Information Assurance Certification (per DoDI 8570.01‑M and SECNAV M‑5239.2), or equivalent under DoDM 8140.03 at Basic or Intermediate proficiency.

• CISSP, CISM, CySA+, GSEC, or similar;
  Qualified Navy Validator designation; prior work on Navy or DoD systems; cloud security experience.

• DoD Secret Clearance

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, cybersecurity, engineering, or a related technical field. Master’s a plus. Additional relevant experience can substitute for the degree.

• M-F, 8 hours
