💰 $5M Venture Round - WindBorne Systems on 2024-12

Aerospace • Artificial Intelligence • SaaS

WindBorne Systems is a company that designs, builds, and operates a global constellation of long-duration, controllable atmospheric balloons to collect in-situ atmospheric profiles anywhere on Earth, including over oceans and remote regions. They combine this proprietary observational data with deep-learning forecast models (WeatherMesh) to produce AI-driven weather forecasts and deliver forecast-based products, APIs, and actionable intelligence for industries such as energy and government. WindBorne focuses on closing atmospheric data gaps, partnering with public agencies and philanthropic organizations, and scaling a commercial service (Atlas balloon constellation, data feeds, and forecast products) built and manufactured in the USA.

📋 Description

• WindBorne is looking for an ambitious Federal Compliance Lead to build our government compliance function from scratch and own it end-to-end. • You will be the first dedicated compliance hire, reporting to the COO and ensuring we don’t get bottlenecked as we scale into production government software sales. • You will lead the company through CMMC Level 2 certification, FedRAMP, IL5, and IL6, translating complex federal regulatory frameworks (FedRAMP, DoD CC SRG, CMMC, DFARS 7012) into practical decisions about technical architecture, documentation, and process. • Make sure those decisions actually get implemented by coordinating work across engineering, operations, and business development teams.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years experience with compliance audits (FedRAMP, PCI, SOC2, HIPAA, etc.) and prior US Government compliance and audit experience (FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, US Government ATOs, etc) ideally at a defense contractor or defense tech start-up. • Experience defining CUI boundaries and scoping assessment environments. • Experience writing or substantially contributing to a System Security Plan. • Proficiency with GRC platforms (Drata, Vanta, eMASS, or similar) and security tooling for evidence collection and continuous monitoring. • Experience implementing security controls and assessing compliance in distributed applications on cloud infrastructure (e.g Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure). • Deep understanding of complex cloud infrastructure and security concepts, including ephemeral technologies (ex. containers). • Proficiency with security concepts (encryption, authentication, etc.) and tooling for continuous monitoring (Tenable Security Center, Burp, SIEMs, etc.). • Strong Project Management skills, being able to balance and track multiple projects going on at the same time to completion. • Willing and able to obtain a US security clearance.

🏖️ Benefits

• 401(k) • Dental insurance • Health insurance • Vision insurance • Unlimited PTO • Stock Option Plan • Office food and beverages
