Security & Compliance Analyst, Public Sector

About the Role

Abnormal AI is looking for a Security & Compliance Analyst, Public Sector who wants to help build how modern federal compliance operates inside a fast-moving cybersecurity company.

You will work at the intersection of security engineering, cloud operations, security, and federal compliance, helping Abnormal Gov scale its FedRAMP High/Class D security and compliance program. You will own security requirement implementation and evidence, work directly with technical teams to drive risk and remediation to closure, and help build our compliance-as-code capabilities in alignment with FedRAMP 20x.

You'll have meaningful ownership early, with the opportunity to improve processes rather than simply inherit them. The strongest candidate will be technically curious, highly organized, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated by making compliance more accurate, automated, measurable, and operationally useful.

What you will do 

Own assigned federal security and compliance workstreams from requirement interpretation through implementation, evidence collection, remediation, and review readiness

Drive recurring continuous monitoring and evidence workflows , coordinating across Security, FedOps, Engineering, IT, People Operations, GRC, and other control performers to ensure evidence is current, complete, traceable, and retained correctly

Support vulnerability detection and response , including reconciling findings from tools such as Wiz, Nessus, and Burp; risk-based triage; Jira routing; SLA tracking; remediation follow-through; validation; and audit-ready evidence

Partner with technical teams on security and compliance impact , supporting Security Impact Assessments, Significant Change Requests, control implementation decisions, and other change-management activities before changes reach production

Help build Abnormal's compliance-as-code program , including structured control content, JSON/YAML or other machine-readable artifacts, schema validation, evidence indexing, automation, deterministic document generation, and reusable workflows

Maintain accurate control, evidence, remediation, risk, and ownership records , proactively identifying gaps, aging items, dependencies, and decisions requiring escalation

Contribute to federal authorization and assessment artifacts , including control documentation, Security Decision Records, certification-package content, assessor requests, and continuous monitoring deliverables

Support federal customer assurance by providing clear, accurate compliance guidance and artifacts for customer onboarding, POVs, DDQs, RFPs, and other government or regulated customer requests

Must Haves 

2+ years of experience in security, compliance, GRC, risk, audit, security operations, or a related discipline, preferably in a cloud, SaaS, government, or highly regulated environment

Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 and an understanding of how security controls translate into technical implementation, operational processes, and audit evidence

Experience with one or more core compliance operations such as evidence collection, control documentation, vulnerability remediation, risk tracking, audit support, or continuous monitoring

Technical curiosity and the ability to read architecture diagrams, security documentation, vulnerability findings, Jira tickets, logs, or engineering materials and turn them into clear compliance actions

Ability to work effectively with Security, Engineering, Infrastructure/Operations, IT, and other technical teams without needing every problem or requirement to be fully defined in advance

Strong written communication skills and the ability to produce documentation that is precise enough for assessors and technical teams while remaining understandable to non-technical stakeholders

Strong operational discipline: you can manage multiple workstreams, dependencies, owners, and deadlines while identifying problems and escalating risk early
