TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS POSITION YOU MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE TS/SCI W/ POLYGRAPH SECURITY CLEARANCE (U.S. CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED)
 
The Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) shall perform, or review, technical security assessments of computing environments to identify points of vulnerability, non-compliance with established Information Assurance (IA) standards and regulations, and recommend mitigation strategies. Validates and verifies system security requirements definitions and analysis and establishes system security designs. Designs, develops, implements and/or integrates IA and security systems and system components including those for networking, computing, and enclave environments to include those with multiple enclaves and with differing data protection/classification requirements. Builds IA into systems deployed to operational environments. Assists architects and systems developers in the identification and implementation of appropriate information security functionality to ensure uniform application of policy and enterprise solutions. Supports the building of security architectures. Enforce the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures. Assesses and mitigates system security threats/risks throughout the program life cycle. Contributes to the security planning, assessment, risk analysis, risk management, certification and awareness activities for system and networking operations. Reviews certification and accreditation (C&A) documentation, providing feedback on completeness and compliance of its content. Applies system security engineering expertise in one or more of the following to: system security design process; engineering life cycle; information domain; cross domain solutions; commercial off-the- shelf and government off-the-shelf cryptography; identification; authentication; and authorization; system integration; risk management; intrusion detection; contingency planning; incident handling; configuration control; change management; auditing; certification and accreditation process; principles of IA (confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, availability, and access control); and security testing.

The NiFi project requires a Senior ISSE who can perform on the project as a true Security Engineer in a more advanced level beyond the typical duties of an ISSO. A successful candidate will have experience building Information Assurance into systems (NiFi software and hardware) deployed to an operation environment. Ability to support the building of security architectures, enforce the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures securing virtual cloud based systems. The team member will work with project SA's, SE's and software developers assisting in the identification and implementation of appropriate information security functionality to ensure uniform application of Agency security policy and enterprise solutions. Experience with Docker / Kubernetes software environment and AWS would be preferred. The candidate will work with the team in developing and securing the Next Gen NiFi, cloud based - Docker/K8 running  within AWS. The ISSE will be instrumental guiding the team through all the security requirements in this new architecture and design. In addition to the LCAR requirements the project requires;
