The DSOP / Tooling / CI-CD Project Engineer II is responsible for the technical leadership and program management of Dev Sec Ops  platform development, software toolchain integration, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline engineering efforts.

This role bridges the gap between software development teams, platform/infrastructure stakeholders, and program management - driving the build, deployment, and sustainment of automated software delivery pipelines in classified and unclassified environments. The Dev Sec Ops  PE ensures tooling solutions meet program requirements for security, compliance, scalability, and operational readiness. Responsibilities:
Project Management
* Develop and manage detailed project plans, sprint/release schedules, and budgets for DSOP and tooling initiatives.

* Manage cross-functional delivery teams comprising software engineers, platform engineers, and security specialists.

* Track delivery milestones, manage backlog priorities, and communicate status to program and customer stakeholders. Technical Oversight
* Architect, implement, and oversee CI/CD pipelines supporting automated build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows.

* Define and enforce Dev Sec Ops  standards including SAST/DAST integration, software composition analysis (SCA), and container image scanning.

* Lead selection, procurement, integration, and maintenance of software tool chains (e.g., Git Lab, Jenkins, Artifactory, Sonar Qube, Jira, Confluence, Kubernetes).

* Oversee platform-as-code practices including infrastructure-as-code (IaC), configuration management, and environment-as-code.

* Ensure pipelines and tooling comply with NIST 800-53, CMMC, RMF, and applicable cyber security frameworks.

* Support accreditation activities (ATO processes) by documenting pipeline controls and providing technical evidence to ISSO/ISSM. Customer Interface
* Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers and end-users regarding Dev Sec Ops  capabilities and tooling roadmaps.

* Facilitate tool onboarding, developer enablement, and adoption efforts across multiple program teams.

* Present pipeline maturity metrics, deployment velocity, and quality gate status at program reviews. Status Reporting
* Prepare comprehensive status reports covering pipeline health, tool availability, delivery throughput, security posture, and open risks.

* Maintain dashboards and metrics that reflect DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate). Issue Resolution
* Identify systemic pipeline failures, tool integration bottlenecks, or security compliance gaps and develop rapid resolution plans.

* Own the DSOP Risk Register - document toolchain risks, supply chain software risks, and dependency vulnerabilities.

* Develop contingency strategies for pipeline outages, tool end-of-life transitions, and accreditation gaps. Continuous Improvement
* Drive continuous improvement of pipeline speed, quality gate effectiveness, and developer experience.

* Evaluate and pilot emerging Dev Sec Ops  tools and practices; present cost-benefit analyses to leadership.

* Lead shift-left security initiatives and coach development teams on secure coding and automated testing practices. Risk Management
* Develop and manage risk identification, documentation, and mitigation planning. Qualifications The Employee Must Have
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering,…
