## About the role

Snowflake's national security deployments are authorized to operate inside classified environments, and each authorization stands or falls on the security documentation behind it. This role owns that documentation. You assess the system against its security control baseline, assemble the evidence the authorizing official reviews, and you are accountable for the package getting to authorization on schedule. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You have taken at least one system through authorization to operate under a government security control framework (NIST 800-53 / RMF, FedRAMP, or the DoD RMF and its Impact Levels), and you can point to the package you were responsible for
- You can read an engineering implementation and decide which control it satisfies and what evidence it produces
- You have worked with government authorizing officials or security control assessors, and you know what they reject and why
- You write the plan down. Assessment scope, control status, evidence gaps and residual risk live in a document the team can run without you, not in your head
- You are eligible for TS/SCI with a full-scope polygraph, or already hold it
