Senior DevSecOps Engineer

We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to lead the secure development and deployment of cloud-native infrastructure in support of a mission-critical cybersecurity modernization effort. This role requires hands-on expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Configuration as Code (CaC), containerization, secure image creation, and CI/CD automation. The engineer will design and develop systems that enable multi-cloud deployment pipelines, secrets management, system interoperability, and environment telemetry. Operating in high-security environments (including IL2-IL6 and TS/SCI), the candidate will ensure that solutions adhere to NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs, and DoD cloud mandates. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment, collaborating with engineers, architects, and cybersecurity professionals to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain IaC and CaC to deliver consistent, repeatable provisioning of infrastructure, environments, and applications.
• Architect and implement cloud-agnostic deployment pipelines supporting Azure and AWS.
• Design and implement observability frameworks and pipelines to support domain telemetry, monitoring, and data fusion.
• Ensure all solutions adhere to NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs, and DoD cloud mandates.
• Establish cloud infrastructure services, identity and access management (IAM) capabilities, enforce network security controls, and support cloud cost tracking/reporting.
• Develop automation scripts to improve operational efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and increase platform reliability.
• Operate as a self-starter who takes ownership and possesses a strong bias for action, navigates ambiguity with sound judgment, and moves work forward without waiting for direction.

Requirements:

• Active Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain a TS-SCI Security Clearance.
• 5-10 years of experience as a DevSecOps Engineer in cloud or hybrid environments.
• Deep experience with Azure and AWS cloud service providers.
• Expertise in implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Configuration as Code (CaC) using Ansible.
• Proficiency in container orchestration using Kubernetes.
• Demonstrated experience with CI/CD tooling.
• Strong understanding of Linux system administration (RHEL8 preferred), networking, and OS-level security.
• Familiarity with secure image development, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, DISA STIGs, RMF, and Zero Trust architectures.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, PowerShell, Bash, or Go.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)
• IAT Level II Certification
• Proficiency in writing custom Helm Charts
• Experience with either Rancher or Open Shift
• Experience with managing Service Mesh solutions like Istio, Linkerd, or Consul.
• Familiarity with container-based security tools (e.g., Aqua, Prisma Cloud, Trivy)
• Experience designing cloud-native secrets management solutions (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
