About the Role
As a Security Architect within a federally focused environment, you will serve as a strategic partner to solution owners, OCTO, and Business Development teams.

You will act as a technical ISO stakeholder in Enterprise Risk and Assurance activities, ensuring that proposed designs align with enterprise security standards, internal controls, and applicable regulatory requirements.
In this role, you will identify architectural and solution-level security risks, collaborating with stakeholders to define appropriate mitigating controls. You will document security architecture decisions, identified risks, and accepted exceptions to support audit and assurance activities. By fostering strategic relationships and establishing key organizational partnerships, you will ensure that technology solutions align with security architecture and business strategy while maintaining compliance with federal frameworks.
