About the role
SteerBridge is seeking an experienced Security Architect to design and implement secure, compliant architectures for federal contracting initiatives. You will lead security design, alignment with regulatory frameworks, and risk mitigation across cloud and hybrid environments.
The role requires deep expertise in federal cybersecurity standards (NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP) and collaboration with cross‑functional teams to enforce secure‑by‑design principles and maintain SSPs and audit readiness.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
