About this role

Govsignals is hiring for a Security Authorization Lead role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • You've personally taken a system through a DoW authorization and stayed with it through its ongoing obligations. What you did matters more than what your title was.
  • Direct experience with government security reviewers, assessors, or an authorizing official's staff. You've been the one answering the questions.
  • Working knowledge of NIST 800-53, RMF, and the DoW Cloud Computing SRG, including how control inheritance works when you run on an authorized platform.
  • Writing that holds up under close reading. A vague answer in a package or a questionnaire can hold a deployment for weeks.
  • Enough cloud fluency to read an architecture diagram, a Kubernetes manifest, or a CI configuration and ask the right question. You don't have to implement the control yourself.
