COMPLIANCE DATA ARCHITECT / GRC RECONILIATION ENGINEER

Zermount, Inc • Arlington, VA

1d • $145,000 - $180,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for a highly talented, technical, hands-on Compliance Data Architect to help accelerate our growing Professional Services business within the Government Sector. You will design the data architecture and reconciliation that keeps security control data consistent across two authoritative systems of record - grounded in NIST SP 800-53 control structures and authorization artifacts (POA&Ms, ATO documentation) - for a federal continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) program.

Requirements

• High level of attention to detail, needs minimal guidance, effective verbal and written communication.
• 15+ years in database/data architecture and administration across cloud (AWS RDS, Azure SQL) and on-prem.
• Strong data modeling, ETL, and cross-system migration/reconciliation experience.
• Hands-on NIST SP 800-53 (Rev 4/5), STIGs, and POA&M/ATO documentation in federal environments.
• SQL (T-SQL), PowerShell; data security (encryption, audit, RBAC).
• Ability to pass a minimum background investigation.

Nice To Haves

• OSCAL/machine-readable compliance, KQL, and Liquibase a plus.
• An active Secret Clearance is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design the canonical data model reconciling two authoritative systems of record: field-level mappings, identifier strategy, conflict/precedence rules, and data-integrity controls.
• Build ETL/data-integration pipelines (Liquibase, AWS Glue/DMS, Azure Data Factory or equivalent) feeding the GRC and evidence layer.
• Model and maintain control-data registers (control catalogs and allocation tables) and their traceability.
• Apply NIST SP 800-53 (Rev 4/5) and STIGs; produce and maintain POA&Ms, ATO documentation, and SOPs; support annual security assessments.
• Configure database/data security, log ingestion (Splunk, Azure Log Analytics), and vulnerability-remediation tracking.
