About Coalfire

Coalfire is on a mission to make the world a safer place by solving our clients’ hardest cybersecurity challenges. We work at the cutting edge of technology to advise, assess, automate, and ultimately help companies navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with offices across the U.S. and U.K., and we support clients around the world.

But that’s not who we are – that’s just what we do.

We are thought leaders, consultants, and cybersecurity experts, but above all else, we are a team of passionate problem-solvers who are hungry to learn, grow, and make a difference.

What You'll Do

  • Own client engagements end-to-end: from contract signature through environment build, control implementation, automated evidence pipelines, and handoff to managed operations.
  • Instantiate Coalfire’s reference architecture for the contracted certification level and cloud platform, adapting it to the client’s application and boundary.
  • Lead implementation of security controls and the automation that continuously validates them—the evidence a modern FedRAMP certification runs on.
  • Coordinate Coalfire’s engineering teams as they deploy their capabilities (identity, monitoring, change management, and more) into your engagement.
  • Drive the build through defined quality gates, with a clean, measurable transition to operations—every in-scope control implemented, validated, and stable.
  • Serve as the client’s primary technical counterpart: run technical working sessions, manage milestones and risks, and keep scope honest.
  • Document architecture decisions and feed lessons from each build back into Coalfire’s standards.
  • Ability to travel 10–25%, driven by client needs
  • U.S. citizenship is desired, as this position supports U.S. federal compliance programs.

What You'll Bring

  • BS or above in a related Information Technology field or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • 8+ years in cloud engineering or architecture, including 3+ years leading technical delivery for external clients
  • Experience leading FedRAMP builds or authorizations—or equivalent depth in another regulated cloud regime (DoD impact levels, StateRAMP, PCI, HIPAA)
  • Hands-on skill across infrastructure-as-code, identity and access management, logging and monitoring, and cloud networking on at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Strong client-facing communication—able to explain an architecture decision to an engineer, a project sponsor, or an assessor
  • Sound judgment about scope, risk, and when to escalate
  • Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills
  • Effective documentation skills, including technical diagrams and written description
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a professional attitude and demeanor
  • Critical thinking, and the ability to balance security requirements with mission needs
  • Professional-level certification in AWS, Azure, or GCP

Bonus Points:

  • Familiarity with FedRAMP 20x, Key Security Indicators (KSIs), and machine-readable compliance artifacts (OSCAL or JSON)
  • Experience with productized or fixed-price delivery models
  • Relevant certifications such as cloud platform professional/security certifications or CISSP
  • Familiarity with configuration baseline standards such as CIS Benchmarks & DISA STIG
  • Familiarity with frameworks such as FedRAMP, FISMA, HIPAA, HITRUST, or PCI

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
