Zaden Technologies is looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer with a strong ISSO background who's ready to grow into the DevOps side of security. You'll keep the systems you support secure and authorized by managing RMF packages, running continuous monitoring, hardening environments and driving vulnerabilities to closure. You'll also work alongside our DevSecOps engineers to learn how security gets built into pipelines, containers and cloud infrastructure, and you'll help us replace manual compliance work with automation. If you're a hands-on security professional who's curious about automation and excited to expand your technical toolkit, we'd love to help you grow as we automate a smarter future.

Perform ISSO duties for assigned systems, maintaining their security posture throughout the RMF lifecycle
Develop and maintain authorization artifacts, including System Security Plans, POA&Ms, risk assessments and incident response plans
Implement and validate security controls, and support assessors through the authorization process
Conduct vulnerability scanning, audit log review and STIG compliance checks, and work with system owners to remediate findings
Harden operating systems, applications and network components to STIG and SRG baselines
Collaborate with DevSecOps engineers to integrate security tooling into CI/CD pipelines and translate control requirements into technical solutions
Learn and apply DevOps practices such as containerization, Infrastructure-as-Code and scripting to automate compliance evidence collection
Identify repeatable manual security tasks and work with the team to automate them
Investigate and document security incidents, and report findings to leadership and stakeholders
Keep up with emerging threats and evolving cybersecurity policy, and recommend improvements to Zaden's security practices
Required Qualifications:
U.S. Citizenship and active security clearance (minimum secret)
3+ years of cybersecurity experience, including hands-on work as an ISSO or in an equivalent information assurance role
Working knowledge of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and NIST SP 800-53 security controls
Experience preparing and maintaining authorization packages, including SSPs and POA&Ms
Experience with vulnerability scanning and compliance tools such as ACAS/Nessus, SCAP Compliance Checker or STIG Viewer
Hands-on experience hardening Linux or Windows systems
Strong written communication skills for security documentation and reporting
A genuine interest in learning DevOps tools and practices, and the motivation to build those skills on the job
DoD 8140/8570 IAT Level II certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+) or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with eMASS or similar GRC platforms
Exposure to CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or Jenkins
