Cloud Engineer - FedRAMP

Team: Cloud Services

Location: United States

Commitment: Regular Full Time

Workplace Type: remote

Salary:

What You'll Do

· Design and implement the security capabilities that satisfy FedRAMP’s Key Security Indicators (KSIs) within your team’s specialty domains.

· Build the Security Decision Record (SDR) automation that deploys those capabilities repeatably across many client environments—infrastructure-as-code, pipelines, and configuration baselines, not one-off builds.

· Develop automated validation and continuous-monitoring evidence for each capability, so the certified state is provable every day.

· Deploy into client environments as the subject-matter expert for your domain: land the capability, integrate it with the client’s stack, troubleshoot, and harden.

· Bring lessons from every deployment back to your team, improving the standard implementation for the next client.

· Mentor junior team members by reviewing their work, sharing best practices, and guiding them through troubleshooting and operational standards.

· Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and machine-readable compliance artifacts.

· Support both new FedRAMP environment builds and the modernization of existing ones.

· Author and peer review detailed design and security documentation, inclusive of vendor best practices.
