About Knox
Knox runs the largest Federal & DoW managed cloud, building and operating secure cloud and AI environments that support the U.S. government’s most critical missions — from national security and public safety to essential public services. Our customers rely on Knox to deploy production systems that meet the highest standards for security, reliability, and compliance.
Work at Knox is high-impact and purpose-driven. The problems we solve are high-stakes, the expectations are high, and the results are visible. Speed, rigor, and trust matter here - because the environments we secure cannot fail. Your contributions are visible, your expertise is relied upon, and the impact of your work is immediate and measurable. We operate at federal scale, securing some of the most sensitive government environments in the country - because the systems we build must perform without fail.
Knox is seeking a Senior Compliance Analyst with strong technical and regulatory expertise to help ensure Knox and its customers continuously meet federal and commercial compliance requirements. This role is responsible for driving ongoing compliance across FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, IL4, IL5, CMMC, SOC 2, StateRamp, and GovRAMP environments while partnering closely with Security, DevOps, Operations, and customer teams.
This is not a point-in-time audit support role. This position is expected to operate as a technical compliance lead who can validate controls in cloud environments, track remediation and POA&M performance, enforce compliance SLAs, support audits and assessments, and provide clear risk visibility to internal leadership and customers.
Key Responsibilities
● Own continuous compliance oversight for Knox and assigned customer environments across FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, IL4, IL5, CMMC, SOC 2, StateRamp, GovRAMP, and related frameworks.
● Track and enforce compliance obligations, remediation deadlines, POA&M milestones, vulnerability remediation timelines, and continuous monitoring requirements.
● Review and validate technical control implementation across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, including logging, monitoring, IAM, incident response, vulnerability management, endpoint security, network segmentation, and change management.
● Partner with Security Operations, Compliance, DevOps, Engineering, and customer teams to ensure required controls are implemented and operating effectively.
● Support FedRAMP authorization and ongoing assessment activities, including SSP updates, evidence collection, ConMon support, 3PAO coordination, audit preparation, and customer artifact reviews.
● Evaluate findings and weaknesses using both compliance requirements and operational risk, including exploitability, exposure, compensating controls, and customer responsibility boundaries.
