Coalfire is a cybersecurity services provider that helps businesses improve their security resilience and streamline regulatory compliance. The company offers expert-led services, including threat-focused cybersecurity programs, compliance automation, risk management, and security advisory services across various industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail, and technology. Coalfire is known for its hacker and defender expertise, and its platforms are designed to fortify clients' cyber resilience, reduce attack surfaces, and accelerate the achievement of compliance objectives like FedRAMP and HITRUST.

📋 Description

• Own the technical integrity of Coalfire’s FedRAMP reference architectures and capabilities across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and across certification levels. • Set the engineering standards delivery teams build against—architecture patterns, security baselines, automation frameworks, and evidence-collection approaches. • Review and approve custom architecture decisions when client requirements fall outside the standard; promote recurring customizations into the reference architecture so the standard improves every quarter. • Serve as a technical escalation point for delivery teams on architecture and security design questions to improve client outcomes. • Keep reference architectures current with evolving FedRAMP requirements, including machine-readable compliance packaging (OSCAL or JSON) and continuous-monitoring mandates. • Mentor engagement architects and senior engineers; raise the technical bar across the delivery organization. • Partner with the sales organization on solution shape for the most strategic pursuits. • Represent Coalfire’s technical point of view in the FedRAMP community—working groups, public comment, and industry forums.

🎯 Requirements

• BS or above in a related Information Technology field or equivalent combination of education and experience • 10+ years in cloud security engineering and architecture, including principal- or staff-level scope • Hands-on FedRAMP authorization experience—building, operating, or assessing FedRAMP environments • Demonstrated design-authority experience: owning standards, running architecture review, and documenting decisions in a form other engineers build from • Deep expertise in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, policy-as-code, and compliance automation • Architecture depth on at least two of the three major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) • Fluency in NIST 800-53 and the FedRAMP control framework, as well as CMMC and DoD compliance standards • Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills • Effective documentation skills, including technical diagrams and written descriptions • Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a professional attitude and demeanor • Critical thinking, and the ability to balance security requirements with mission needs • Professional/Expert-level certification in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
