Business Summary
At Deltek, security isn't a gate at the end of the process - it's in the foundation. Enterprise Security & Technology Services (ESTS) brings together security, infrastructure, and technology operations under one organization, led by our CISO, with a mandate to make sure Deltek builds and operates with integrity at every layer.
We're a passionate team of technologists and security professionals who work across the entire company - embedded in how services are built, delivered, and supported. We run agile, we embrace intelligent automation to amplify what our people can do, and we hold ourselves to a high standard because the organizations that depend on Deltek's platform are doing work that can't afford mistakes. If you take your craft seriously, want visibility into how a complex, global technology organization really operates, and believe security should be a first principle - not an afterthought - this is a team that will feel like home.
Position Responsibilities
As a Senior GRC Engineering Analyst, you will ensure Deltek's cloud environments and information systems meet security and compliance obligations by testing technical controls, supporting audits, and maturing core GRC services. To support Deltek's flagship GovCon products, you will partner with Cloud Operations, Product Security, Platform Delivery, and Security Operations to translate requirements into test procedures, produce audit-ready artifacts, and drive remediation.
- Lead audits and assessments with a key focus on engineering, technical control design, and control implementation aligned to frameworks/programs such as NIST 800-53 Rev. 5, FedRAMP, CMMC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 1, and SOC 2.
- Test, validate, and document cloud control implementations across AWS, Azure, and OCI, including IAM, network segmentation, encryption/key management, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, container security, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Partner with Security Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, IT, and Product teams to translate compliance requirements into scalable, automated, and auditable technical controls.
- Own assessment execution end-to-end, including scope definition, technical walkthroughs, control testing, evidence validation, issue tracking, remediation follow-up, and reporting.
- Design, maintain, and improve audit-ready artifacts, including control narratives, test procedures, evidence mappings, technical diagrams, implementation documentation, and control validation results.
- Facilitate technical walkthroughs with stakeholders and auditors; clearly explain control intent, system architecture, implementation details, evidence sources, and test results.
- Identify control gaps, assess technical risk and business impact, and drive remediation to closure with accountable engineering and control owners.
- Support continuous compliance through control automation, recurring evidence collection, control health monitoring, and integration with tools such as cloud security platforms, ticketing systems, SIEM, vulnerability management tools, and GRC platforms.
- Own or support key GRC services, including policy lifecycle, risk management, FedRAMP continuous monitoring, POA&M management, customer due diligence, security questionnaires, and audit readiness, with a focus on process improvement and automation.
- Build compliance metrics and reporting, including dashboards, scorecards, executive summaries, control health indicators, remediation trends, and audit readiness reporting.
- Develop or support automation scripts, queries, workflows, or integrations to streamline evidence collection, control testing, compliance monitoring, and reporting.
- Evaluate cloud services, system changes, and new technical implementations for compliance impact and advise teams on control requirements early in the design and deployment lifecycle.
- Maintain strong working knowledge of cloud security architecture, identity and access management, secure SDLC, infrastructure-as-code, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, encryption, and change management practices.
