Information System Security Engineer III

Join ClearPoint as an Information System Security Engineer III where you will lead the security engineering and accreditation work behind MERIDIAN our AI-Enabled Secure Space Operations & Management Platform. You will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to build security into the system throughout its lifecycle reviewing architecture testing the system as its built and shaping controls alongside engineers concurrently with development and implementation.

You will own the RMF package for MERIDIANs implementation from SSP and SAR development through POA&M management and continuous monitoring while staying technically engaged with the platform as it evolves.
