Booz Allen · Arlington, VA ·
Design and automate security controls for cloud and hybrid systems, embedding compliance into CI/CD pipelines and translating policies into code for continuous monitoring and remediation.
The Opportunity:
As an Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE), you design and implement security across the systems development lifecycle, integrating process‑driven compliance such as RMF into agile engineering practices to deliver iterative, sprint‑aligned security solutions. You serve as the lead technical resource for transforming security policies into code and operationalizing an automated GRC framework. You participate in solution analysis and architectural reviews, then translate complex designs and automated control implementations into clear, actionable concepts for stakeholders such as ISSMs and ISSOs.
You architect and deploy a layered automation framework for hybrid and cloud environments: secure Infrastructure‑as‑Code templates that embed controls at creation, configuration management to detect and remediate drift, Policy‑as‑Code for continuous compliance validation, and an orchestration layer for event‑driven, self‑healing responses. You build and manage a Compliance‑as‑Code repository, integrate AWS‑native security services such as Audit Manager, Security Hub, Config, CloudTrail, or CloudWatch, for automated evidence collection and audit readiness, and support real‑time compliance scoring dashboards and RESTful APIs that publish standardized metrics enterprise‑wide.
