Job Summary

EverforthECS is seeking a Dev Sec Ops  Engineer to work in a hybrid remote/onsite capacity, with a minimum of three business days onsite at our Fairfax, VA corporate office and/or our Ashburn, VA customer site. This role will architect, operate, and optimize Dev Sec Ops  pipelines that deliver Everforth ECS products across NIPRNet pipelines, ensuring mission alignment and operational resilience.

• Architect, operate, and optimize advanced Dev Sec Ops  pipelines supporting enterprise delivery across NIPRNet for Department of Homeland Security missions and Senior Executive Service leadership.
• Design core pipeline architectures, cross‑domain artifact flow patterns, and security tool integrations using Git Lab, Jenkins, Sonar Qube, Nexus, Harbor, Kubernetes, Terraform, and container orchestration platforms.
• Lead continuous development of pipeline architecture, author detailed process documentation, and coordinate extensively with software engineering, cybersecurity, and platform infrastructure teams to maintain mission alignment and operational resilience.
• Act as the primary escalation point for complex pipeline failures, zero‑day vulnerability triage, and classification boundary issues affecting multi‑network delivery.
• Maintain expert‑level mastery of continuous integration tooling, static and dynamic security scanning platforms, software composition analysis systems, and compliance automation capabilities used across the CBP Outrider integration ecosystem.
• Author technical standards including pipeline YAML and domain‑specific DSL, policy‑as‑code modules, artifact signing procedures, and automated authorization workflows governing software factory operations.
• Pilot advanced security‑as‑code techniques such as policy‑driven guardrails, automated risk scoring, and cross‑domain validation prototypes within controlled lab environments prior to production adoption.
• Integrate scanning, software bill of materials generation, compliance validation, and automated security gates using Anchore, Trivy, OpenSCAP, and Sysdig to maintain vulnerability reduction and configuration discipline.
• Monitor pipeline performance indicators—including success rates, deployment frequency, restoration times, defect recurrence, and integration stability—to identify reliability risks and accelerate delivery velocity.
• Produce technical assessments, architecture updates, optimization recommendations, and leadership reports that strengthen automation coverage, operational readiness, and mission execution across the CBP Outrider integration enterprise.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Salary Range: $,000

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, or Information Technology.

• IATIII‑level security certifications (CompTIA CASP+CE, ISC² CISSP or Associate, GIAC GSED, GIAC GCIH, or Cisco CCNP Security).
• Minimum five years of experience designing, implementing, and maintaining enterprise‑scale Dev Sec Ops  pipelines across multi‑domain and classified environments.
• Proven expertise in integrating CI/CD tools such as Git Lab, Jenkins, Sonar Qube, Nexus, Harbor, Kubernetes, and Terraform with security‑as‑code frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional teams, author process documentation, and provide escalation for complex pipeline failures and vulnerability triage.
• Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making capabilities, with a proven ability to weigh the relative costs and benefits of potential actions and identify the most appropriate solution.

• Active SECRET Clearance.
• Experience pioneering policy‑as‑code and automated risk‑scoring mechanisms in production Dev Sec Ops  environments.
• Knowledge of DHS security frameworks and ability to translate them into pipeline governance and compliance controls.
• Track record of driving automation coverage to exceed 90% of build‑time security checks without impacting delivery velocity.
• Leadership in cross‑domain certification coordination (ATO/POA&M) for multi‑enclave pipeline deployments.
