Information Systems Security Engineer Level 3

Jovian Concepts, Inc is looking to hire a ISSE Level 3 for a great opportunity in the Annapolis Junction area. TS/SCI Clearance with a Poly required. No CCA's will be accepted at this time.

The tasks will be modernizing system architecture in support of a global effort to ensure mission systems remain resilient in case of degraded infrastructure. To accomplish this, it requires an Information Systems Security Engineering (ISSE) to perform, or review, technical security assessments of computing environments to identify points of vulnerability, non-compliance with established Information Assurance (IA) standards and regulations and recommend mitigation strategies.

• The ISSE will validate and verify system security requirements definitions and analysis and establish system security designs in support of systems engineering team.
• The ISSE will: design, develop, implement and/or integrate IAT and security systems and system components including those for networking, computing, and enclave (physical and virtual) environments to include those with multiple enclaves (to include multi-tenant) and with differing data protection/classification requirements (to include Cross Domain Solutions - CDS).
• The ISSE will build/enhance IA into systems deployed to operational environments.
• The ISSE will assist architects, engineers and systems developers in the identification and implementation of appropriate information security functionality to ensure uniform application of Agency security policy and enterprise solutions.
• The ISSE will support the building and review of security architectures.
• The ISSE will enforce the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures.
• The ISSE will assess and mitigate system security threats/risks throughout the program life cycle.
• The ISSE will contribute to the security planning, assessment, risk analysis, risk management, certification and awareness activities for system and networking design, testing, fielding and operation.
• The ISSE will review certification and accreditation (C&A) documentation, provide feedback on completeness and compliance of its content and recommend changes where needed.
• The ISSE will apply system security engineering expertise in one or more of the following to: system security design process; engineering life cycle; information domain; cross domain solutions; commercial off-the-shelf and government off-the-shelf cryptography; identification; authentication; and authorization; system integration; risk management; intrusion detection; contingency planning; incident handling; configuration control; change management; auditing; certification and accreditation process; principles of IA (confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, availability, and access control); and security testing.
• Support security authorization activities in compliance with information System Certification and Accreditation Process (NISCAP) and DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) process, and prescribed NSA/CSS business processes for security engineering.

Requirements

• A current and active TS/SCI Clearance with a Polygraph. No CCA's are being accepted at this time.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Assurance, Information Security System Engineering, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.

• 20 years of experience as an ISSE on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity required.A Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Assurance, Information System Security Engineering, or related discipline may be substituted for two (2) years of experience, reducing the requirement to eighteen (18) years of experience. Four (4) years of additional ISSE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

• DoD 8570 compliance with IASAE Level 3 is required. Both Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) and CISSP Certifications are required.
