About the role: 

As an Information Systems Security Officer and Manager, you will manage security and compliance activities supporting Raft's cloud-native products and customer environments. You will work closely with engineering and program teams to apply the Risk Management Framework, maintain accurate authorization documentation, assess security risk, and support IATT and ATO efforts across systems at different stages of authorization.

This role requires strong working knowledge of RMF and NIST guidance and experience applying security controls in Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and other cloud-native environments.

What you will do

• Provide ISSO oversight across Raft's product contracts, applying consistent RMF practices while accounting for each customer's system boundary and authorization requirements.
• Develop and maintain mature RMF authorization packages, including System Security Plans, security control traceability matrices, Ports Protocols and Services Management artifacts, architecture and data-flow diagrams, POA&Ms, and bodies of evidence.
• Translate system architectures and operational processes into accurate control implementation statements, policies, procedures, and supporting evidence aligned with applicable security control baselines.
• Coordinate control owners, engineers, system administrators, and program stakeholders to collect evidence, address gaps, prepare for assessments, and maintain authorization readiness across supported environments.
• Partner with engineering teams to make evidence collection and recurring compliance reporting more automated, repeatable, reusable across systems, and traceable to authoritative sources.
• Conduct ongoing security risk assessments using findings from cloud and Kubernetes posture reviews, vulnerability and CVE analysis, DISA STIG scans, network monitoring, software-supply-chain reviews, configuration-drift detection, and endpoint protection tools.
