- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, cloud compliance, or DevSecOps roles
- Proven experience designing and enforcing STIG-compliant configurations, including custom STIG development and validation
- Deep understanding of FIPS-validated encryption, TLS configurations, and cryptographic module implementation for data protection
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning, remediation planning, and automated patching workflows
- Familiarity with FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53, and related audit frameworks
- Proficiency with tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Azure Policy, GitHub Actions, and common SIEM/logging platforms
- Experience with authorization boundary design and customer isolation techniques in Azure Gov environments
- Preferred Qualifications

What the job involves
- We are seeking an experienced Senior Compliance Engineer to lead the design and implementation of secure, compliant architectures within highly regulated cloud environments
- This role requires deep expertise in STIG development, encryption standards, and vulnerability remediation, alongside a strong foundation in DevOps and SecOps practices, particularly within the Azure Government platform
- This is a hands-on technical role focused on enabling and sustaining system authorization through security automation, technical control implementation, and audit readiness
- Architect, implement, and maintain secure, audit-ready systems and services in Azure Government environments
- Develop and maintain custom STIGs (Security Technical Implementation Guides) for cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, and IaaS/PaaS configurations and customer-deployed application models (DoDIN APL, Common Criteria)
- Design and enforce secure configurations using encryption standards such as FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3, TLS 1.2+, and data-at-rest protections for regulated data
- Embed compliance and security checks into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that infrastructure-as-code meets regulatory and organizational policies
- Integrate technical controls to support monitoring, logging, and alerting consistent with FedRAMP and CMMC requirements
- Partner with security operations teams to support incident response, log review, and system hardening efforts
- Lead the technical remediation of vulnerabilities identified through internal scans, third-party testing, or external audits
- Work with engineering and DevOps teams to drive secure patch management, system baseline enforcement, and automated vulnerability response workflows
- Maintain and operationalize vulnerability metrics dashboards aligned with continuous monitoring plans (ConMon)
- Create and manage detailed system documentation including SSPs, network diagrams, control implementations, and POA&Ms
- Serve as a technical point of contact during audits and assessments, capable of demonstrating compliance posture through hands-on walkthroughs and evidence collection
- Collaborate with GRC teams to translate security requirements into enforceable technical controls and testable artifacts
- Partner with product, engineering, and compliance teams to implement secure system boundaries and customer segmentation strategies for multi-tenant environments
- Provide technical mentorship and occasional leadership to junior compliance engineers or project contributors
- Track emerging requirements and proactively update system configurations to meet evolving FedRAMP, DoD IL5, and CMMC mandates
Our take
True Anomaly is a space tech startup composed of former military operators and engineers. The Colorado-based company is focused on building spacecraft and software solutions designed to secure U.S. commercial and military interests in space. It has already developed a fully-integrated platform with seamless satellite, navigation, and data-capture technologies that provide security and training for the quickly evolving space market.
Founded in 2022, True Anomaly has already designed its first spacecraft, the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle, which can be used to train operators on the ground or as intelligence-gathering tools against adversarial spacecraft. Alongside this, the startup has built a 35,000-square-foot facility in Denver to manufacture the Jackals and hired a team of close to 60 people.
With impressive capital gained at the end of 2023, the company validated the Jackal's technical and operational capabilities and made the necessary investments to scale production. Despite this healthy injection of funding, it still had to streamline staff in spring 2024, but is looking leaner and more agile for it, planning to partner with Firefly Aerospace to launch The Jackal in 2025.
