Security Architect - Aviation

SteerBridge is seeking a Security Architect to define the security architecture and compliance strategy for a mission-critical Defense Aviation platform running in AWS GovCloud for federal customers. This role owns the security blueprint—controls, identity, zero-trust access, monitoring, and authorization strategy—for environments supporting federal aviation operations.

The architect will work directly with solutions architects, security and cloud engineers, data teams, and stakeholders to translate DoD security requirements into enforceable, well-architected designs and to guide the platform toward and through authorization (ATO). This role stays close to implementation, setting security standards, designing control frameworks, reviewing architectures, and guiding engineers in implementing defense-in-depth and zero-trust access. This is a hybrid position based in Vienna, VA.
