Experienced

BridgePhase is a software engineering company focused on designing, building, securing, and operating cutting-edge software solutions that drive mission success and operational excellence for Federal Government organizations.  Our mission is to empower our clients and employees to realize their potential, achieve amazing results, and advance the mission of our Federal government. We do this by providing an environment that fosters the growth, innovation, collaboration, and delivery excellence needed to achieve successful and lasting transformative IT modernization. With BridgePhase, federal agencies gain a trusted partner dedicated to delivering high-performing solutions that advance the nation's most critical objectives.

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Cloud Security Architect to lead our security and controls team in designing, delivering, and maintaining innovative solutions that address our client’s complex needs. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, with deep expertise in cloud-based systems and security principles. You should thrive in cloud environments, demonstrating the ability to navigate complexities with minimal supervision. Equally important, you must possess exceptional communication skills to effectively convey cloud security design and architecture concepts to both technical and non-technical client stakeholders. All work is performed on-site in Chantilly, VA. All candidates must have an active TS/SCI with CI poly level clearance for consideration.

In this position, you can expect to:

  • Develop and implement cloud-based security policies, standards, and procedures.
  • Maintain role-based access controls for cloud-based system components, users, and applications.
  • Monitor and analyze cloud-based security threats, vulnerabilities, and incidents.
  • Conduct regular security assessments and audits of cloud-based systems to ensure compliance with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
  • Implement security controls and measures, such as encryption, access controls, and identity management, to protect cloud-based assets.
  • Hold or have the ability to obtain a required DoD 8570 certification (e.g., CASP+, CISSP) within 6 months of hire.
  • Possess a deep understanding of cloud-based security technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, vulnerability scanners, and log analysis tools.
As with any role, the exact role responsibilities will fluctuate and evolve. We are looking for versatile team members who thrive on new challenges and can readily adapt to additional responsibilities beyond those listed above.

Preferred Experience and Qualifications:
  • Experience with cloud-based platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
  • Ability to troubleshoot security access issues effectively and efficiently, interacting with key functional/business stakeholders as necessary to resolve NS2 Security/GRC errors/exceptions.
  • Understanding of NIST, SOX, SOD, and IT General Computer Controls, how these compliance requirements impact security, and provide solutions to address them.
  • Complete necessary RMF processes to shepherd a new asset through the accreditation process through ATO and into monitored operations.
  • Spearhead adoption of zero trust architecture (ZTA).
While we've outlined our ideal candidate, we recognize that talent comes in many forms. If you don't check every box but possess technical aptitude in these areas, along with a drive to learn and grow, we strongly encourage you to apply. Our team thrives on diverse perspectives and experiences.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
