About The Position

Belay Technologies has been voted Baltimore Business Journal's (BBJ) Best Places to Work 2019, runner up in 2020 and a finalist in 2021! Belay Technologies is seeking a Senior Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) to join our intel team. The ISSE shall 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 validates and verifies system security requirements definitions and analysis and establishes system security designs. The ISSE designs, develops, implements and/or integrates IA and security systems and system components including those for networking, computing, and enclave environments to include those with multiple enclaves and with differing data protection/classification requirements. The ISSE builds IA into systems deployed to operational environments. The ISSE assists architects and systems developers in the identification and implementation of appropriate information security functionality to ensure uniform application of Agency security policy and enterprise solutions. Supports the building of security architectures. Enforce the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures. The ISSE assesses and mitigates system security threats/risks throughout the program life cycle. The ISSE contributes to the security planning, assessment, risk analysis, risk management, certification and awareness activities for system and networking operations. The ISSE reviews certification and accreditation (C&A) documentation, providing feedback on completeness and compliance of its content. The ISSE applies 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. The ISSE support security authorization activities in compliance with NSA/CSS 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.
