What We Offer
~3 min readUnder 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.
