Integration and DevSecOps Engineer

Job Summary

The Integration and Dev Sec Ops  Engineer supports the integration of the Fangorn prototype into a cohesive, secure, and cloud-native system while helping build and maintain the underlying hybrid infrastructure. This role focuses on system integration, Kubernetes-based platforms, and Dev Sec Ops  practices, working closely with senior engineers, architects, and security stakeholders.

The engineer will help implement and maintain the “plumbing” of the solution—network connectivity, system interfaces, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized workloads—ensuring infrastructure is automated, secure, and maintainable through code. This role is well-suited for an engineer with foundational experience who is ready to deepen hands‑on expertise in Kubernetes, Dev Sec Ops , and hybrid cloud environments.

• Support secure network connectivity between on‑premise (mainframe) environments and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or private cloud).
• Assist with configuration of VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, VPNs, and security groups under guidance from senior engineers.
• Help ensure reliable, secure data transfer between mainframe and cloud components.

• Implement and maintain integration points between mainframe systems and cloud‑based services.
• Support API‑based integrations, messaging systems (e.g., IBM MQ or cloud‑native messaging), and scheduled data transfers.
• Assist with data format transformations and integration troubleshooting (e.g., EBCDIC to ASCII).

• Deploy, configure, and support Kubernetes‑based workloads (EKS, AKS, Open Shift, or similar).
• Manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes primitives such as deployments, services, ingress, and name spaces.
• Assist with Kubernetes troubleshooting, upgrades, and configuration changes.
• Apply Kubernetes security best practices, including RBAC, secrets management, image scanning, and network policies.

• Contribute to Dev Sec Ops  pipelines by integrating infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, and security controls into CI/CD workflows.
• Maintain and enhance Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Cloud Formation, or Azure Resource Manager.
• Implement and support security automation including vulnerability scanning, container image scanning, secrets management, and compliance checks.
• Work with Dev Ops and Security leads to align deployments with DoD security requirements and STIG guidance.

• Support deployment and configuration of middleware, databases, message queues, and supporting services.
• Participate in integration and end‑to‑end testing across hybrid workflows.
• Troubleshoot cross‑system issues involving networking, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, or data integration.
• Use logging and monitoring tools to assist in identifying and resolving system issues.

• Support development, test, and prototype environments.
• Monitor system health, performance, and resource usage.
• Assist with backup, recovery, and basic cost‑optimization activities.

• Maintain documentation for infrastructure configurations, Kubernetes deployments, and integration workflows.
• Contribute to operational runbooks and support guides.
• Assist with knowledge transfer to sustainment or operations teams as the prototype matures.

• U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain a Secret clearance (active Secret preferred).
• 3+ years of hands‑on Dev Sec Ops  experience, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and security integration.
• 3–5 years of experience in cloud engineering, Dev Ops, systems integration, or related technical roles.
• Hands‑on experience deploying and supporting Kubernetes workloads.
• Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or private cloud).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Cloud Formation, or ARM).
• Working knowledge of Linux systems and scripting (Bash, Python, or Power Shell).
• Familiarity with networking fundamentals (TCP/IP,…
