Program Security Manager at Git AI · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Program Security Manager to turn Government-approved Security Classification Guides (SCGs), DD Forms 254, and related guidance into clear, practical rules for technical work. You will work directly with Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Systems Engineering leaders to apply classification requirements to designs, CAD, circuits, firmware, source code, analyses, and test data, and resolve unclear cases with authorized Government representatives. You will also coordinate reviews of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) contributions under our Quality Management Plan (QMP) with qualified designated technical reviewers. Hands-on software engineering experience and technical classification-management expertise are essential.
This role reports to the Senior Management Official (SMO), with day-to-day priorities coordinated with the VP of Legal and VP of Program Management. You will work closely with Engineering, the Facility Security Officer (FSO), Quality, IT/Cybersecurity, Contracts, and Export Compliance.
Security Classification & Engineering Integration
Lead the interpretation and application of Government-issued SCGs, DD Forms 254, and other approved classification guidance to GITAI’s technical work. Maintain internal guidance traceable to those sources.
Partner with engineering leaders to assess what information is disclosed by designs, software, interfaces, specifications, simulations, manufacturing data, and test results; establish appropriate classification, markings, handling, and segregation requirements.
Participate in technical and design reviews to identify classification questions early, including issues involving aggregation, compilation, release, and transfer of technical information.
Coordinate unresolved classification questions with the Government Program Security Officer (PSO) or other authorized Government representatives. Document guidance, decisions, and follow-up actions.
Build simple, repeatable workflows for classified and unclassified data that let engineers move quickly while meeting classification, access-control, marking, and pre-release review requirements. Prevent information spills and train personnel on their responsibilities.
QMP Review of LPR Contributions
Coordinate implementation of the QMP “Quality Review of LPR Contributions” process for covered software, firmware, scripts, configuration and build files, hardware and circuit designs, programmable logic, drawings, specifications, analyses, test results, and related components.
Work with the SMO and Engineering to ensure reviews are carried out by appropriately cleared U.S. citizen employees with need-to-know, relevant technical competence, and written designation by the SMO.
Coordinate the use of SMO-approved review procedures and tools addressing technical accuracy, contract conformance, unauthorized functionality, and confirmation that contributions are unclassified and prepared without access to classified information.
