• 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.

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers – we’re mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.
The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today’s and tomorrow’s massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.
With multiple launches planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply.
Stay Connected with K2 Space for Future Job Openings in Seattle
We’re on a mission to push the boundaries of what’s possible in space systems and large-scale satellite platforms. Even when we don’t have a specific opening listed, we’re always eager to connect with innovators, builders, and problem-solvers who share our passion for making space more accessible.
This is not a job application—it’s a way for you to raise your hand and say, “Keep me in the loop" as new jobs open in Seattle. By joining our talent community, you’ll:
Receive occasional updates about K2 Space projects, milestones, and future opportunities.
Be among the first to know when a role opens that might align with your skills and interests.
Stay engaged with our growing network of space enthusiasts and professionals.
Who Should Join
We welcome anyone excited about space technology and exploration—engineers, operators, mission designers, business minds, creatives, and everyone in between—who want to be part of K2 Space’s journey.
How to Join
Fill out our brief interest form below.
Share a resume and a quick note about your skills, passions, or areas of interest.
We’ll keep you on our radar for future opportunities and updates.
If you don’t meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!
If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
Export Compliance
As defined in the ITAR, “U.S. Persons” include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a “U.S. Person.”

Security Authorization Specialist
Second Front Systems · Washington, DC, District of Columbia , United States
SECURITY AUTHORIZATION SPECIALIST
ABOUT THE ROLE
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.
WHAT YOU’LL DO (SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY)
- Lead Authorization Work streams: Independently drive the end-to-end authorization lifecycle for Game Warden across FedRAMP and US agency ATO packages, managing initial authorizations, annual assessments, and significant change requests.
- Artifact Ownership: Author, refine, and maintain high-quality System Security Plans (SSPs), control implementation narratives, Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), and supporting authorization artifacts. Ensure everything accurately reflects our modern cloud architecture, controls, and operating reality.
- Proactive Continuous Monitoring: Manage day-to-day continuous monitoring activities, including monthly POA&M updates, vulnerability and patch reporting, significant change reviews, and annual control assessments. Drive findings and control gaps to closure with engineering teams.
- Technical Point of Contact: Serve as the primary front-line technical point of contact for 3PAOs, agency reviewers, and sponsor authorization officials during assessments, readiness reviews, and audits.
- Engineering Partnership: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Security Operations, and Cybersecurity Assessment teams to map complex cloud-native controls to FedRAMP and NIST 800-53 requirements, ensuring defensible evidence collection.
- 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
- DoD Authorizations: Hands-on experience with DoD IL4/IL5 authorizations, DISA Cloud Computing SRG, or agency-specific ATO processes.
- 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.
SUCCESS AT 2F LOOKS LIKE:
- Viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth
- Having a bias toward action and tangible, measurable results
- Striving to be both compassionate and direct with your feedback
- Being team-oriented and inclusive with your actions

Security Authorization Specialist
Second Front Systems · Washington, DC, District of Columbia , United States
SECURITY AUTHORIZATION SPECIALIST
ABOUT THE ROLE
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.
WHAT YOU’LL DO (SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY)
- Lead Authorization Work streams: Independently drive the end-to-end authorization lifecycle for Game Warden across FedRAMP and US agency ATO packages, managing initial authorizations, annual assessments, and significant change requests.
- Artifact Ownership: Author, refine, and maintain high-quality System Security Plans (SSPs), control implementation narratives, Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), and supporting authorization artifacts. Ensure everything accurately reflects our modern cloud architecture, controls, and operating reality.
- Proactive Continuous Monitoring: Manage day-to-day continuous monitoring activities, including monthly POA&M updates, vulnerability and patch reporting, significant change reviews, and annual control assessments. Drive findings and control gaps to closure with engineering teams.
- Technical Point of Contact: Serve as the primary front-line technical point of contact for 3PAOs, agency reviewers, and sponsor authorization officials during assessments, readiness reviews, and audits.
- Engineering Partnership: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Security Operations, and Cybersecurity Assessment teams to map complex cloud-native controls to FedRAMP and NIST 800-53 requirements, ensuring defensible evidence collection.
- 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
- DoD Authorizations: Hands-on experience with DoD IL4/IL5 authorizations, DISA Cloud Computing SRG, or agency-specific ATO processes.
- 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.
