Cybersecurity Engineer - Clearance Required

Job Description

We’re looking for a cybersecurity engineer to support a large Navy readiness reporting program. The work is a mix of RMF and ATO sustainment, vulnerability management, and day-to-day cybersecurity engineering across an interconnected set of applications. You’ll spend time in eMASS, in scan results, and in conversation with developers, sysadmins, and a small cyber team — not in isolation.

Responsibilities

• Maintain RMF accreditation packages in eMASS: security plans, control evidence, test results, and POA&Ms.
• Triage and disposition IAVAs and other cybersecurity directives.
• Track remediation to closure.
• Support ATO submissions and ongoing continuous-monitoring work as systems and their environments change.
• Apply STIGs.
• Run vulnerability scans.
• Recommend and implement fixes that actually close findings, not just hide them.
• Document what you do.

Requirements

• 5+ years in cybersecurity engineering, with 3+ years specialized in network security (firewalls, IPS, access controls, cross-domain solutions).
• 3+ years implementing RMF for DoD systems.
• Hands-on eMASS experience.
• Comfortable in scanners (ACAS/Nessus or equivalent), STIG application, and POA&M management.
• Experience triaging and dispositioning IAVAs and other cybersecurity directives.
• IAM Level II Information Assurance Certification (per DoDI 8570.01-M and SECNAV M-5239.2), or equivalent under DoDM 8140.03 at Basic or Intermediate proficiency.

Bonus Points

• CISSP, CISM, CySA+, GSEC, or similar.
• Qualified Navy Validator designation.
• Prior work on Navy or DoD systems.
• Cloud security experience.

Qualifications

• Security Clearance: DoD Secret Clearance.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, cybersecurity, engineering, or a related technical field. Master’s a plus.

Work Schedule

M-F, 8 hours

Compensation and Benefits

• The projected compensation range for this position is $121,000-170,000.
• Cydecor offers a comprehensive compensation package including Health and Dental Insurance, Vision and Life Insurance, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability, 401(K) + company match, Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Company Holidays, Tuition and Professional Development Assistance and more.
