About Coalfire
 
Coalfire is on a mission to make the world a safer place by solving our clients’ hardest cybersecurity challenges. We work at the cutting edge of technology to advise, assess, automate, and ultimately help companies navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with offices across the U.S. and U.K., and we support clients around the world.
 
But that’s not who we are – that’s just what we do.
 
We are thought leaders, consultants, and cybersecurity experts, but above all else, we are a team of passionate problem-solvers who are hungry to learn, grow, and make a difference.

What We Offer

~3 min read

Under FedRAMP, compliance is no longer a document—it’s a set of Key Security Indicators (KSIs): measurable security outcomes validated through automation, continuously. Coalfire organizes its delivery engineering into capability-focused teams, each owning a set of KSI domains such as identity and access management, monitoring and logging, change management, or incident recovery. We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer to go deep on a team’s domains—building the standard implementation once, making it deployable anywhere, and landing it in client environment after client environment, getting better every time. If you’re driven by a desire to innovate, excel at operational excellence, and thrive in a collaborative environment, come be part of a team committed to making the world a safer place.

· Design and implement the security capabilities that satisfy FedRAMP’s Key Security Indicators (KSIs) within your team’s specialty domains.

· Build the Security Decision Record (SDR) automation that deploys those capabilities repeatably across many client environments—infrastructure-as-code, pipelines, and configuration baselines, not one-off builds.

· Develop automated validation and continuous-monitoring evidence for each capability, so the certified state is provable every day.

· Deploy into client environments as the subject-matter expert for your domain: land the capability, integrate it with the client’s stack, troubleshoot, and harden.

· Bring lessons from every deployment back to your team, improving the standard implementation for the next client.

· Mentor junior team members by reviewing their work, sharing best practices, and guiding them through troubleshooting and operational standards.

· Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and machine-readable compliance artifacts.

· Support both new FedRAMP environment builds and the modernization of existing ones.

· Author and peer review detailed design and security documentation, inclusive of vendor best practices.

Travel: Approximately 10%, driven by client needs

U.S. citizenship is required, as this position supports federal compliance programs.

· BS or above in a related Information Technology field or equivalent combination of education and experience

· 5+ years in cloud, security, or platform engineering

· 5+ years supporting cloud architecture, design, implementation, operations, and automation in AWS, Azure, or GCP

· Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and orchestration/automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible

· Automation-first mindset with strong Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, and scripting (Python, Go, or similar); exposure to policy-as-code

· Hands-on depth with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and its native services

· Working knowledge of NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, or comparable security control frameworks

· The instinct to solve a problem once, properly, and package the solution so it works everywhere

· 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

· Direct familiarity with FedRAMP 20x and Key Security Indicators (KSIs)

· Experience with OSCAL or JSON machine-readable compliance formats

· Depth in a likely specialty area: identity (SSO, phishing-resistant MFA), SIEM and log pipelines, vulnerability management, or resilience engineering

· Relevant certifications such as cloud security specialty certifications, CISSP, or GIAC

· Previous experience supporting clients from within a professional services organization

· Familiarity with configuration baseline standards such as CIS Benchmarks & DISA STIG

· Familiarity with frameworks such as FedRAMP, FISMA, HIPAA, HITRUST, or PC
