Abnormal AI is looking for a Federal Security and Compliance Analyst 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.
- 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.
- A demonstrated tendency to improve the way work gets done through automation, better processes, clearer documentation, reusable templates, better data, or simpler workflows.
.
Nice to Have- Experience with FedRAMP High, FedRAMP Moderate, FISMA, CMMC, GovRAMP, or other U.S. government security frameworks.
- Exposure to compliance-as-code, OSCAL, JSON/YAML schemas, Git-based workflows, automated validation, Markdown/PDF generation, or machine-readable authorization artifacts.
- Familiarity with tools or environments such as AWS GovCloud, Wiz, Splunk, Okta, Jira, GitLab, Nessus, Burp, or cloud-native vulnerability-management platforms.
- Experience supporting Security Impact Assessments, Significant Change Requests, POA&M/ConMon workflows, 3PAO assessments, or federal authorization packages.
- Basic scripting or automation experience—such as Python, APIs, CI/CD workflows, or data transformation—or a strong interest in developing those skills.

What We Do
The Abnormal Security platform protects enterprises from targeted email attacks. Abnormal Behavior Technology (ABX) models the identity of both employees and external senders, profiles relationships and analyzes email content to stop attacks that lead to account takeover, financial damage and organizational mistrust. Though one-click, API-based Office 365 and G Suite integration, Abnormal sets up in minutes and does not disrupt email flow. Abnormal Security was founded in 2018 by CEO Evan Reiser, CTO Sanjay Jeyakumar, Head of Machine Learning Jeshua Bratman, and Founding Engineers Abhijit Bagri and Dmitry Chechik. The team previously built behavioral profiling and machine learning technologies at Twitter, Google and Pinterest that are being applied to solve a problem that costs organizations $1 billion per year, according to the FBI. The Abnormal Security platform stops targeted phishing, business email compromise and account takeover attacks that have never been seen before.
