Job#: 3058980 Job Description: IT - Cybersecurity Solution Security Analyst
Location: McLean, Virginia (Hybrid)
Alternate Location: Dallas, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee
Role Overview
An established organization seeks a technically grounded cybersecurity professional to assess proposed technologies, enterprise applications, artificial intelligence solutions, cloud platforms, and third-party vendors prior to production use. This position serves in a technical advisory and assessment capacity, focusing on security reviews rather than hands-on engineering, security operations center operations, audit, or traditional governance, risk, and compliance. The successful candidate will leverage technical breadth to evaluate how systems are constructed, analyze data exchange mechanisms, identify potential vulnerabilities, formulate evidence requests, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform comprehensive cybersecurity reviews and provide security guidance for business and technology initiatives to ensure alignment with security standards.
- Assess internal and external applications, vendor solutions, APIs, integrations, cloud services, identity architectures, and data flows throughout the solution lifecycle.
- Develop and maintain solution security artifacts, including architecture reviews, data flow diagrams, security requirements, and implementation guidance.
- Communicate security risks, trade-offs, and mitigation strategies to technical and non-technical stakeholders to enable informed business decisions.
- Coordinate assessments with the governance, risk, and compliance team, which manages formal risk registry functions.
- Define review scope, identify security requirements, and ensure necessary validation activities are completed.
- Evaluate architecture artifacts, including network diagrams, data flow diagrams, integration patterns, API designs, vulnerability assessments, and assessment documentation.
- Identify security gaps, document risks, identify compensating controls, and support remediation efforts prior to production release.
- Contribute to the evolution of security standards, reference architectures, secure development practices, and governance processes.
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Experience: Approximately 5 to 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, technology, software engineering, solution architecture, risk assessment, or a related discipline, with at least 5 years assessing or delivering applications, cloud services, integrations, APIs, or enterprise technology solutions.
Technical Skills: Strong understanding of modern application security, cloud security practices, and secure software development lifecycles. Working knowledge of networking concepts and controls, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and network segmentation. Proven ability to interpret network, architecture, and data-flow diagrams to identify potential security issues.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience evaluating security risks in artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence systems, including model integration and data governance.
- Prior experience supporting hospitality, travel, e-commerce, payments, financial services, or other large-scale customer-facing platforms.
- Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
- Familiarity with regulatory and industry frameworks, including PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
- Experience utilizing AuditBoard or ServiceNow workflow platforms.
