About the role

  • Kaizen's platform reaches 40M residents across 50+ agencies in 17 states.
  • We've already signed multiple federal customers with many more in the pipeline - and the work of making Kaizen federal-ready is currently spread across a handful of engineers.
  • This is a hybrid role based out of our New York City HQ.

Responsibilities

  • Lead readiness across federal compliance frameworks - FedRAMP, CMMC, and DoD Impact Levels - translating NIST 800-53 and related controls into real engineering implementations, and owning the SSPs, POA&Ms, and technical policy documentation
  • Build continuous compliance and audit-readiness workflows that make accreditation a byproduct of how we ship, not a separate workstream
  • Drive a secure-by-default engineering culture so residents and public servants can trust the systems we put in front of them
  • You want to own policy and hand the implementation to someone else - this role lives in the code and the infrastructure
  • Fertility and family-building support through Carrot.

Requirements

  • Direct experience with federal authorization work - FedRAMP, CMMC, DoD IL, or comparable regulated environments.
  • Deep familiarity with NIST 800-53 and the ability to translate controls into pragmatic engineering work rather than checkbox compliance
  • Have hands-on experience with Chainguard, AI-powered security tooling, or similar leverage-multiplying platforms

Compensation

  • $53k-$800k

Benefits

  • 100% coverage across the board: medical through Oxford/United (Gold and Platinum PPO plans), dental through Guardian PPO, and vision through Beam - all fully covered for employees, with 100% coverage for dependents.
  • $100,000 in fully paid life insurance.
  • FSA and Dependent Care FSA.
  • One Medical membership, on us - same-day primary care, 24/7 virtual visits, and offices all over the city.
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birthing parents.
  • Unlimited PTO, with a two-week minimum (we mean it when we say take time off!)
  • $50/month commuter benefit (company contribution).
  • Fully covered gym membership at Grindhouse https://grindhousemhttn.com/ - right across the street from our office at 47 W 17th St (and in Williamsburg).
  • $100/month utility stipend.
  • $300/quarter pet care stipend.
  • Up to $750 one-time home office or desk setup stipend for NYC-based employees. $500 for remote employees.
