  • Partner with stakeholders to translate compliance requirements into actionable engineering decisions
  • Support continuous monitoring, audit preparation, and security posture improvement

  • Azure Security Engineer Associate
  • FedRAMP 3PAO assessor experience is a major differentiator and will be prioritized

Technical Expertise:

  • Deep experience architecting secure solutions in AWS and/or Azure
  • Strong understanding of FedRAMP, NIST 800‑53, and federal cloud security baselines
  • Ability to design and validate security controls across multi‑cloud and hybrid environments
  • Experience advising engineering teams on secure cloud patterns, IAM, encryption, logging, and monitoring
  • Strong communication skills for both technical and executive audiences

Location & Clearance:

  •  Must reside in the NCR (DC/MD/VA)
  • Secret clearance minimum; clearable candidates considered

 

Expected Skills:

  • Operates confidently in regulated and federal environments
  • Understands both the engineering and compliance sides of cloud security
  • Can translate frameworks into real, implementable architectures
  • Brings credibility with auditors, assessors, and federal stakeholders
  • Thrives in high‑trust, high‑impact advisory roles

Why Apogee:

Apogee supporting federal programs where cloud security maturity directly impacts mission success. You’ll work with decision‑makers, shape architectures that matter, and operate in an environment that values expertise, precision, and clarity.
