Modernizing digital infrastructure in classified environments demands engineers who can build secure enterprise platforms, operate them reliably, and elevate the teams that depend on them. As a Senior Dev Sec Ops  Platform Engineer, you will design, deploy, and troubleshoot containerized systems in air-gapped environments, develop and optimize production CI / CD pipelines, author and refine Infrastructure-as-Code, and embed security, observability, and reliability into every layer of the delivery stack.

You’ll serve as a technical anchor for a cloud-focused Dev Ops team supporting the DoW, combining hands-on engineering expertise with a deliberate mentorship mission. You will coach active-duty military personnel and government civilians, lead technical exchanges and labs, and strengthen the organization’s ability to operate critical systems independently and sustainably.
