Translating technical security controls into clear, compliant documentation aligned to NIST 800-53 and RMF requirements is a core part of the job.

You will collaborate closely with engineers, ISSOs, and DevSecOps teams to ensure accurate documentation of system configurations and security controls. Support for audits, assessments, and continuous monitoring activities is expected, along with maintaining document repositories and ensuring traceability across system changes and security artifacts.

Experience with configuration management and technical writing in federal or otherwise regulated environments is required. You should be comfortable supporting ATO processes and security documentation development, and have a strong working knowledge of RMF, NIST 800-53, and/or FedRAMP requirements.
