高级FedRamp ISSO

Join the company that’s building the telemetry infrastructure for the AI era. At Cribl, we partner with IT and Security teams at many of the world’s biggest enterprises, including half of the Fortune 100, to bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. As the AI Platform for Telemetry, we give customers the choice, control, and flexibility to manage and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents, so they can build what’s next.

We’re one of the fastest‑growing private companies and a leading player in a massive, fast‑moving market. With a global workforce, we’re remote‑first and grounded in a simple idea: software is a people business. Cribl is the place where curious, collaborative people can do their best work, grow fast, and bring their full selves to the herd.

Why You’ll Love This Role

We’re looking for a FedRAMP ISSO to own and drive the security posture, compliance operations, and continuous monitoring program for our FedRAMP Moderate authorized cloud environment. This is the single-threaded leader of our federal authorization — You won’t just maintain compliance; you’ll define how we do it. That means building smarter, faster compliance operations — using AI and automation to streamline evidence collection, accelerate reporting, and reduce the manual grind that slows most FedRAMP programs down. You’ll work at the intersection of compliance rigor and real cloud security, partnering with engineering, product, legal, and our federal agency customers to keep our authorization healthy and our customers confident.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Own the FedRAMP program end-to-end: serve as the single accountable leader for our FedRAMP Moderate authorization, including the System Security Plan (SSP), continuous monitoring program, POA&M lifecycle, and agency relationships. You set the compliance strategy and drive execution.

• Maintain and defend the System Security Plan: ensure the SSP accurately reflects system architecture, control implementations, operational changes, and any approved uses of automation or AI within the authorized boundary. When an auditor asks “why,” you have the answer.

• Drive POA&M management from finding to closure: track open findings from 3PAO assessments, vulnerability scans, and internal reviews; coordinate remediation timelines with engineering; and build scalable tracking, trend analysis, and reporting workflows — including AI-assisted triage and prioritization where it accelerates outcomes.

• Lead continuous monitoring: monthly and annual ConMon reporting, vulnerability scan review and triage, configuration management reviews, and incident reporting per FedRAMP requirements. Identify and implement opportunities to automate evidence collection and streamline reporting cycles.

• Run annual 3PAO assessments from start to finish: prepare documentation packages, manage assessment logistics, facilitate evidence collection, and respond to auditor inquiries with clarity, confidence, and well-organized support materials.

• Assess the security impact of system changes: evaluate new features, infrastructure updates, and emerging AI capabilities through the change management process — ensuring nothing ships that introduces unreviewed compliance, boundary, or control gaps.

• Serve as the primary federal point of contact: build and maintain relationships with agency customers, Authorizing Officials (AOs), and the FedRAMP PMO, grounded in transparency, technical credibility, and clear communication on compliance posture and evolving technology use.

• Collaborate with engineering and DevOps: partner on security control implementation, scan result review, and timely remediation. Identify opportunities to improve control validation and compliance operations through secure automation, infrastructure-as-code integration, and AI-assisted workflows.

• Coordinate security incident response: work alongside the security operations team to ensure timely, accurate agency notification and defensible documentation per FedRAMP reporting requirements.

• Monitor and translate evolving federal guidance: NIST publications, FedRAMP policy updates, OMB memos, CISA alerts, and emerging AI governance expectations (including NIST AI RMF) — into clear, actionable direction for the team.

• We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones – you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours

If You’ve Got It - We Want It

• 5+ years of information security experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated FedRAMP ISSO or ISSE role at a Cloud Service Provider — not just touching FedRAMP, but owning it.

• Deep, working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and the FedRAMP Ecosystem baseline

• Proven experience authoring and maintaining large-scale System Security Plans. You know your way around an SSP and can defend every line of it.

• Hands-on POA&M management experience: opening, tracking, aging, escalating, and driving findings to documented closure

• Direct experience running a continuous monitoring program end-to-end, including monthly ConMon reporting and coordination of annual 3PAO assessments.

• Experience working directly with Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs) through full assessment cycles, including evidence gathering and auditor facilitation.

• Demonstrated ability to use automation, scripting, or AI tools to improve compliance operations — whether that’s automating evidence collection, building reporting pipelines, or using LLMs to accelerate documentation review. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be fluent enough to build or direct these workflows.

• Familiarity with cloud environments and their security implications; AWS GovCloud experience strongly preferred, Azure Government or GCP also valued.

• Strong written communication skills. The documents you produce will be scrutinized by federal auditors and agency security teams; your writing should hold up to that standard.

• Active security certification: CISSP, Certified Authorization Professional (CAP/CGRC), or CISM.

• Nice to haves

• Experience with the FedRAMP High, IL4, or IL5 baseline; Moderate is the floor, not the ceiling.

• Familiarity with OSCAL (Open Security Controls Assessment Language) and automated compliance tooling — we’re actively investing in this space.

• Experience with compliance-as-code pipelines, infrastructure-as-code security scanning, or DevSecOps integration in a FedRAMP context.

• Experience evaluating AI/ML capabilities within a FedRAMP-authorized boundary, including familiarity with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

• Experience with GRC platforms

• Knowledge of DISA STIGs and their applicability to cloud-hosted components.

• An active federal security clearance, or eligibility to obtain one
