SOC Manager
Second Front Systems is looking for a technically fluent, high-ownership, metrics-driven Security Operations Center (SOC) Manager to strengthen our security operations function, architecting modern defensive capabilities across cloud-native infrastructure.
Operating at the high-stakes intersection of defense tech and national security, you will be responsible for monitoring, detecting, and responding to threats in cloud-native ecosystems and scaling defensive maturity across the organization.
You will own the SOC strategy and execution, partner across engineering and product to embed security controls into platform DNA, ensuring that mission-critical software for the free world remains secure and our defenders operate in a resilient, monitored environment.
We need someone capable of architecting and governing modern SOC functions—SIEM, EDR, automated playbooks, and threat intelligence operations; leading incident response and post-mortems that drive engineering change from containment through recovery; and scaling and mentoring security teams while building detection logic and hunt programs that intercept emerging threats.
As a key partner to engineering, product, and IT leadership, you will translate technical risk and blast radius into clear, unsentimental recommendations that move defensive maturity forward, serving as the operational authority ensuring our security infrastructure scales as fast as the missions we support.
Note: Candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs:
• DC/Maryland/Virginia
• Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC
• Denver/Colorado Springs, CO
• Dallas/Fort Worth, TX
What You'll Do
• Architect the SOC strategy and roadmap, defining threat intelligence operations, detection frameworks, and defensive maturity metrics.
• Build and tune detection logic across cloud stacks, identity layers, and endpoints, rejecting noise to accelerate incident response velocity.
• Own incident command, leading containment and recovery operations while driving engineering change through rigorous post-mortems.
• Govern the defensive stack—SIEM, EDR, and automated playbooks—ensuring engineering delivers lean, high-fidelity operations at scale.
• Establish proactive threat hunting programs, synthesizing external intelligence to intercept emerging threats before they reach mission-critical systems.
• Synchronize security controls with engineering and product squads, embedding rigorous automated defenses into platform architecture.
• Mentor and scale a high-performing security operations squad, anchoring a culture built on accountability and technical craft.
• Optimize vendor and MDR relationships, ensuring third-party partnerships deliver the technical execution the mission demands.
What You Bring
• 8+ years in cyber operations, incident response, and threat intelligence with minimum 3 years leading high-agency security operations teams.
• Deep technical mastery building modern SOC functions: SIEM architecture, EDR stack deployment, high-fidelity incident response frameworks.
• Fluency in cloud-native environments: AWS, Kubernetes security, containerized workload defense, logging pipeline engineering.
• Track record engineering detection logic and automated playbooks that scale defensive operations and reduce alert noise.
• Ability to mentor technical talent and lead complex security initiatives through ambiguity in high-growth startup environments.
• Clear communication translating technical blast radius and complex risk into unsentimental recommendations for leadership.
• Expertise navigating FedRAMP, DoD SRG, and CMMC compliance in regulated government and defense environments.
• Hands-on scripting and automation engineering: Python, Terraform, SOAR playbooks for detection and response tooling development.
Preferred
The base salary for this position will fall between $205,000 and $215,000. Your ultimate compensation will be determined by professional background, technical proficiency, seniority, and regional cost factors. Furthermore, this opportunity includes potential eligibility for equity awards and discretionary bonuses, rounding out a comprehensive total rewards offering.

Second Front Systems (2F) is seeking an ambitious, highly autonomous, and detail-driven Security Authorization Specialist to join our mission-driven team. We are a dynamic, fast-growing entrepreneurial company at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and national security, committed to delivering transformative solutions that empower our nation’s defenders. This is an opportunity to play a leadership role in the security, trust posture, and operational execution of a company that is redefining how software is delivered and secured in the defense sector.
At 2F, we thrive on innovation and purpose, combining a startup’s agility with a clear mission to support national security. As a Security Authorization Specialist, you will be the primary engine driving the authorization work behind the deployment and scaling of our revolutionary Game Warden platform—an industry-leading tool that is accelerating the secure adoption of mission-critical SaaS solutions for the U.S. government. If you’re ready to own complex compliance work streams, guide technical teams, and make a measurable impact on national security, we want to hear from you.
The Security Authorization Specialist will fully own the technical implementation and documentation work streams that keep Game Warden authorized across FedRAMP and related US agency ATO programs. You will lead the authoring of control narratives, build and maintain rigorous authorization evidence, and drive continuous monitoring so our authorizations remain unassailable.
Note: This role requires U.S. citizenship due to government contract requirements. Additionally, candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs: DC/MD/VA | Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC | Denver/Colorado Springs, CO | Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.

- Translate Policy to Tech: Act as a bridge between compliance and engineering. Translate dense regulatory requirements into clear, actionable, technical guidance that developers can actually implement.
- Leverage GRC Automation: Utilize and help optimize our GRC and evidence automation tooling to streamline control mapping and evidence collection. Write basic scripts or queries (e.g., Python, Bash, SQL, simple API calls) to automate repetitive compliance tasks and save the team time.
- Process Evolution: Contribute to the continuous improvement of 2F’s authorization processes, tooling, and evidence workflows as we scale our portfolio across frameworks and environments.
SKILLS YOU’LL BRING TO OUR TEAM
- Experience: 7+ years of experience in security compliance, cybersecurity authorization, or GRC work, with deep, hands-on experience driving FedRAMP Moderate/High or DoD Impact Level packages.
- Framework Expertise: Strong, practical working knowledge of NIST 800-53 (Rev 4/5), NIST 800-37 (RMF), and FedRAMP-specific guidance and templates.
- Cloud Architecture Literacy: Solid understanding of modern cloud environments and how cloud-native patterns (AWS services, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines) map to technical controls.
- Assessment Track Record: Proven success supporting 3PAO assessments, annual reviews, or agency ATO efforts from the vendor or integrator side.
- Communication: Exceptional written communication skills; a proven ability to produce assessor-ready technical documentation and clear control narratives.
- Clearance & Certifications:
- Active U.S. Top Secret (TS) security clearance required; eligibility for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) required.
- Active professional security certification such as CISSP, CISM, or Security+.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- GRC Tooling: Experience with modern GRC and evidence automation platforms (e.g., Drata, Xacta, RegScale, or similar), including configuring integrations and building reusable evidence workflows.
- Compliance-as-Code: Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and cloud-native observability tooling in support of automated, continuous control evidence.
- Mission Focused: Prior experience working in cleared or classified environments with government authorization stakeholders, and a strong interest in matters of national security.
COMPENSATION
The expected base salary range for this role is $119,000 – $160,000. Final compensation will be based on factors such as experience, skills, level, and geographic location. This role may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses and equity grants as part of the total compensation package.
