Security Engineer (Cloud Security Engineer) — FedRAMP Control Implementation & Automation Support
C2 Labs is hiring a Security Engineer (Cloud Security Engineer) to support FedRAMP authorization acceleration and ongoing ConMon for defense-focused startups and companies deploying production workloads on Azure Government. You’ll implement security controls, build repeatable evidence pipelines, and help make ConMon feel like an operational routine—not a monthly fire drill.
What you’ll do
· Implement and tune cloud security controls (IAM, logging, vulnerability management, configuration baselines, incident readiness).
· Configure security tooling and integrations to produce repeatable evidence for authorization and ConMon.
· Support remediation and hardening workstreams, including vulnerability scan remediation support.
· Help automate evidence exports / reporting inputs where feasible and keep operations sustainable post-authorization.
What we’re looking for
· 5+ years security engineering experience, including cloud security implementation and operations.
· Hands-on experience with vulnerability management and secure configuration practices.
· Working familiarity with cloud logging/monitoring, IAM guardrails, encryption/key management, and incident response readiness.
· Comfort scripting/automation (PowerShell, Python, bash) and working with APIs/integrations.
· Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to non-engineers and support audit/assessment discussions.
Nice to have
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or related field
· Azure security experience (Defender for Cloud, Sentinel/Log Analytics, Azure Policy, PIM) and/or Azure Government experience.
· Experience supporting NIST 800-53 / FedRAMP assessments, remediation, or ConMon deliverables.
· Security+ / AZ-500 / CISSP or similar certifications.
· Experience integrating evidence into GRC platforms (RegScale preferred).
Engagement details
· 1099 independent contractor (initial engagement); project-based with potential extension into ConMon operations.
· Remote-first; occasional on-site support only when customer environment requires it (rare).
· No clearance required; must be able to pass a standard background check and sign NDA/SOW.
· Work is typically in Azure Government environments supporting FedRAMP 20X and/or legacy packages.
