The engineer will also support OSCAL as a required skill to produce machine-readable compliance outputs (JSON/XML/YAML). POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES: * Design, build, and maintain pipelines that feed data into CSAM from asset management tools, CMDBs, discovery tools, and governance systems. * Develop and operate API/ETL integrations, ensuring schema translation, normalization, and resilient error handling. * Automate tagging so systems inherit attributes needed for compliance and reporting. * Troubleshoot integration failures and coordinate with ICOs when data gaps or mapping issues occur. * Validate the quality, completeness, and accuracy of all data flowing into CSAM; implement QA checks and reconciliation routines. * Apply and enforce naming conventions, metadata standards, and attribute requirements across incoming data sources. * Support OSCAL pilots by outputting data in JSON/XML/YAML and aligning exported structures to required models. * Help reconcile ICO data structures into standardized OSCAL-aligned definitions and CSAM target schemas.
