Strong working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4/5), NIST SP 800-37 (RMF), DoD Cloud Computing SRG, and FedRAMP baselines. Demonstrated experience writing and evaluating core RMF artifacts (SSPs, SAPs, SARs, POA&Ms) Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical risk clearly to executive stakeholders, Authorizing Officials, and engineering teams. Hands-on experience navigating government GRC repositories, such as eMASS or XACTA. Desired Qualifications Hands-on experience mapping security controls to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, or the DoD Responsible AI (RAI) Guidelines. Familiarity evaluating secure design patterns for autonomous AI Agents (e.g., tool-calling permissions, sandboxing agent execution environments, prompt boundaries, and ReAct/LangGraph architectures). Experience assessing cloud-managed AI ecosystems and foundation model platforms (e.g., AWS Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Hugging Face Enterprise, or self-hosted open-source models). Understanding of data protection, access controls, and boundary security for RAG pipelines and vector databases (e.g., OpenSearch Vector Engine, Pinecone, Milvus, or PostgreSQL pgvector). Familiarity evaluating risks unique to LLMs-including prompt injection, data poisoning, model inversion, insecure output handling, and open-source supply chain vulnerabilities in AI libraries (PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex). Exposure to LLM guardrail platforms, evaluation frameworks, or AI security tools (e.g., Promptfoo, Garak, Giskard, NeMo Guardrails) used to test model robustness and output safety. Experience with cATO methodologies, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates (Terraform, CloudFormation), and container security (AWS EKS/ECS, Docker). Active AWS Certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security - Specialty or AWS Certified Solutions Architect). Background or familiarity with offensive security, penetration testing The salary range for this position is estimated to be between $135,000.00 - $160,000.00, commensurate on experience and technical skillset.
