## About the role

Run the compliance program: Own SOC 2 and our alignment to the CJIS Security Policy (and FedRAMP/GovCloud as our gov pipeline grows). Own the artifacts that don't fully exist yet - subprocessor lists, data management and retention policies, incident response plans - and keep them current.

## What they're looking for

- Fluent in the frameworks that matter to us: Direct experience with SOC 2 and hands-on familiarity with the CJIS Security Policy, NIST 800-53/800-171, or FedRAMP. Public-sector, GovCloud, or regulated-SaaS experience is a strong plus
- Comfortable in the cloud and in code: You can harden a cloud environment (Azure ideally), reason about IAM, encryption, network isolation, and logging, and automate controls and evidence with scripting and GRC tooling
- Credible in the room: You can face an auditor, a state CJIS Systems Officer, or a county CISO team and answer hard questions clearly — and translate the same material for our sales and implementation teams and our engineers
- High ownership, low ceremony: You see the gap, define the right thing to build, and drive it to done. You'd rather build a durable system than win an argument, and you're energized by being the person the whole company relies on for this
- Work authorization & CJIS eligibility: You must be authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship, and — because of the data we handle — able to pass a state and national fingerprint-based background check for CJIS clearance
