About Virtualitics
Virtualitics is the category leader in AI-native readiness applications for defense, government, and critical infrastructure. Founded on a decade of Caltech research in partnership with NASA/JPL, we are led by scientists, strategists, and servicemembers united by a single mission: to solve the world’s most complex, mission-critical challenges with AI. Our Readiness AI solutions deliver operational certainty — giving leaders and operators a clear picture of what’s ready, what’s at risk, and what to do next.
By identifying risks early, diagnosing root causes, and recommending prioritized actions with transparent, explainable AI, we help organizations move from data complexity to decision advantage. Behind that impact is relentless innovation. Inventors at heart, we hold 15+ U.S. patents and are leading the shift toward agent-driven readiness.
But what truly sets us apart is our culture — relentless about results, grounded in transparency, and driven by compassion for the mission and the people it serves. If you’re motivated by impact, inspired by technical depth, and ready to build AI that performs where it matters most — you’ll find your mission here. Role: Senior Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) We just earned our IL6 ATO and our IL5 authorization is close behind.
Every new customer we win needs their own Authorizing Official to issue an ATO, and that reciprocity work has become the constraint on how fast we can grow. Our team is looking for a Senior ISSM to own it — running federal authorizations end to end as our named ISSM of record, so that each new customer ATO becomes a package we pull and tailor rather than a project we rebuild from scratch.
This is a cloud and product authorization role rather than a closed-area or SCIF ISSM position; our El Segundo SIPR space is provided and accredited by Nooks. Ability to work quickly, automate relentlessly, and translate between compliance language and engineering reality will be key. This position is remote with ability to travel to a SCIF when requested by the company.
