Region Services Corporate Infrastructure (RSCI) delivers foundational Windows infrastructure services across Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) environments

supporting U.S. Government customers. Our team owns Active Directory, File Services, DHCP, DNS, Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM), Group Policy, and desktop services that AWS service teams depend on.

We are looking for a Security Compliance Engineer who can monitor, assess, and drive security compliance across our Remote Management and

Administration (RMNA) networks. You will operate vulnerability scanning infrastructure, analyze results, drive service teams to remediation, and ensure our environments maintain compliance with DISA STIGs and the Risk Management Framework (RMF). You will develop and maintain dashboards that give leadership and external security stakeholders clear visibility into our compliance posture, and produce scan data that feeds directly into customer authorization systems.

This is a hands-on role. You will run and analyze Tenable/Nessus scans, track vulnerabilities to closure, develop automation to streamline compliance workflows, build and maintain security dashboards, support our comply-to-connect solution, and contribute to security accreditation packages for services within RSCI. You need to understand Windows infrastructure deeply enough to assess whether a finding is a real risk or a false positive and to drive the right remediation with service owners.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
