About the Role:

CrowdStrike seeks an exceptionally qualified Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) to establish, maintain, and enhance the security and compliance of our Federal cloud environments. This critical role ensures business continuity with government clients by implementing stringent federal security requirements. The ideal candidate will focus on managing security controls to achieve and sustain Authorization to Operate (ATO) status across multiple federal systems. This position requires a security professional expert in navigating the entire compliance lifecycle, from continuous monitoring to external audits, while maintaining the highest security standards in a highly regulated environment.

What You'll Do:

AI-Powered GRC Automation & Engineering Utilize deep proficiency in Python, JavaScript, C, or C++ to architect and implement advanced AI automation pipelines, optimizing critical GRC functions such as control assessments, POA&M management, and compliance reporting across federal authorization frameworks. Leverage professional-level cloud architecture expertise and experience in FedRAMP and IL-5 environments to engineer secure, GRC automation tools within GovCloud and high-security boundaries. Translate complex agency security requirements into automated solutions, employing LLM assistance for the rigorous drafting and versioning of SSPs and security narratives to meet evolving FedRAMP 20x mandates. Operationalize AI compliance frameworks and correlate vulnerability intelligence with NIST SP 800-53 controls, providing real-time audit readiness metrics and accelerating the ATO lifecycle. Design and deploy autonomous AI agents capable of executing multi-step GRC workflows - including control validation, evidence gathering, risk analysis, and remediation tracking - reducing manual compliance overhead and enabling continuous, intelligent oversight of federal security environments. Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) & Remediation Establish, automate, and maintain the Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) strategy from the System Security Plan (SSP), including scanning, assessment, reporting, and automated remediation of compliance checks and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) activities. Participate in the vulnerability intelligence on-call rotation for 24/7 expert analysis and rapid response. Security Authorization & Risk Management Manage the full Authorization to Operate (ATO) lifecycle, including preparing documentation for initial and continuous security authorizations and acting as the primary point of contact for external compliance. Coordinate annual Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) audits for successful outcomes. Manage the POA&M process, perform risk-based security impact analyses, and track vulnerability remediation to verified closure. Execute security control analyses, recommending infrastructure enhancements based on threat landscape changes. Cloud Security Architecture Serve as the expert authority on cloud security architecture, providing guidance and implementing defense-in-depth strategies for federal workloads across various cloud configurations ( FedRAMP, DISA, agency requirements ). Develop and maintain cloud security architecture documentation (diagrams, data flows, controls). Evaluate architectural changes for security impact and guide secure DevSecOps practices in federal clouds. Change Control & SCR Management Manage the Change Control Board (CCB) and Significant Change Request (SCR) process, providing authoritative security guidance, coordinating stakeholder reviews, and implementing automated workflows. Perform quality assurance and support quarterly audits of SCRs. Generate detailed security impact analyses for FedRAMP and DISA change requests. Documentation & Governance Maintain the System Security Plan (SSP) and all security authorization packages, ensuring all security artifacts are accurate and align with FedRAMP and EMASS templates. Support governance activities, including policy development and system sponsorship. Coordinate compliance matters with authorizing officials, acting as the primary security advocate. Incident Response & Business Continuity Serve as the primary security point-of-contact for incident response, managing resolution from initial detection through root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures. Strategically coordinate and lead incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery exercises. Audit & Access Management Manage annual security audit evidence collection and coordination. Rigorously audit account management, enforce least privilege through monthly access reviews, and oversee DISA whitelisting requests. Process system…
