Assistant Contractor Special Security Officer at Anduril Industries · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

This role leverages the incumbent’s technical systems administration background to bring credibility when working with IT and engineering teams, enabling faster, more accurate translation of security requirements into system-level actions. You will be responsible for managing security implementation schedules, coordinating system accreditation and authorization activities, and maintaining program security documentation in support of SCI initiatives governed by ICD 703, ICD 705, ICD 503, NIST SP 800-53, and applicable NISPOM (32 CFR Part 117) requirements. If you thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and are ready to own security outcomes across every technical and programmatic touchpoint, this role is for you!
Serve as the designated security point of contact for all program teams, IT deployment teams, and system administration groups — ensuring every technical change, system deployment, and infrastructure modification receives proper security review before implementation.
Translate complex security requirements (ICD 503, NIST SP 800-53, NISPOM) into clear, actionable technical guidance that IT deployment teams can execute against, and verify that implementations meet the intent of the requirement.
Act as the day-to-day security liaison embedded with engineering and IT operations, maintaining enough technical depth in systems administration, network architecture, and deployment workflows to evaluate proposed changes on their security merits.
Provide regular security status roll-ups to program management and the CSSO that translate technical findings, system vulnerabilities, and deployment risks into program-level risk language accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
Coordinate directly with government security representatives, Authorizing Officials, CSAs, and partner program security teams on all cross-functional security matters, serving as the primary technical voice from the contractor security organization.
Communicate system architecture decisions, technical risk posture, and remediation plans to government program security offices with sufficient technical precision to support informed authorization decisions.
Serve as the Alternate CSSO, assuming full CSSO authority and responsibilities in the primary CSSO’s absence, including independent security decision-making, incident reporting, and government liaison duties.
Administer SCI security programs in accordance with ICD 703, ICD 705, ICD 503, NIST SP 800-53, and applicable NISPOM requirements, ensuring continuous compliance across all program activities.
Assist with incident response coordination, including classification reviews, damage assessments, government notifications, evidence preservation, and remediation tracking.
Direct the program security implementation schedule, assigning action items, managing POA&Ms, and driving corrective actions to closure across all responsible parties.
Maintain current security documentation including System Security Plans (SSPs), hardware/software inventories, network diagrams, SCIF documentation, and configuration baselines.
