Cybersecurity Solutions Architect
Istari Digital delivers a model-based digital engineering platform used by defense and aerospace organizations to design and operate mission-critical systems. Our platform is deployed into classified and high-security environments, where cybersecurity is foundational—not optional.
We are hiring a Cybersecurity Solutions Architect to serve as the technical face of Istari to federal customers. You will own the question: "Does this platform meet our security requirements – and how?"
What You'll Do
- Lead security discussions in pre-sales engagements
- Translate customer requirements into clear architectural explanations and concrete engineering requirements
- Support RFP/RFI responses, security questionnaires, and accreditation alignment (RMF readiness)
- Identify and communicate security gaps early (before they become deal blockers)
- Build secure reference architectures for classified deployments
- Partner with engineering to shape roadmap based on federal security needs
Required Qualifications
- Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility
- Deep understanding of NIST 800-53 / 800-171, RMF / ATO processes
- 3+ years of experience working with DoW, IC, or SAP programs, AWS, Azure, or Google Public Sector (especially GovCloud / compliance / security)
Candidates with only commercial-sector experience or without exposure to federal security processes are not an ideal fit for this role.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You can confidently say "Yes, we meet your requirements – and here's exactly how."
- You understand both technical architecture and government accreditation realities
