## Description

As an Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE), you design and implement security across the systems development lifecycle, integrating processdriven compliance such as RMF into agile engineering practices to deliver iterative, sprintaligned security solutions. You serve as the lead technical resource for transforming security policies into code and operationalizing an automated GRC framework. You participate in solution analysis and architectural reviews, then translate complex designs and automated control implementations into clear, actionable concepts for stakeholders such as ISSMs and ISSOs.

You architect and deploy a layered automation framework for hybrid and cloud environments: secure InfrastructureasCode templates that embed controls at creation, configuration management to detect and remediate drift, PolicyasCode for continuous compliance validation, and an orchestration layer for eventdriven, selfhealing responses. You build and manage a ComplianceasCode repository, integrate AWSnative security services such as Audit Manager, Security Hub, Config, CloudTrail, or CloudWatch, for automated evidence collection and audit readiness, and support realtime compliance scoring dashboards and RESTful APIs that publish standardized metrics enterprisewide.
