DevSecOps Engineer, Senior

Position Overview

The Dev Sec Ops  Engineer, Senior provides engineering leadership to design and operate secure, automated delivery pipelines for cloud‑hosted and on‑premises applications. This role builds and maintains CI/CD workflows, infrastructure‑as‑code patterns, and integrated security controls that embed testing, scanning, and policy enforcement throughout the software lifecycle. The position partners closely with development, security, and operations teams to standardize tool chains and environments that support an “as‑a‑Service” delivery model, continuously refining automation, observability, and resilience practices to improve speed, quality, and compliance for mission‑critical services.

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment activities across multiple environments.
• Develop and manage infrastructure‑as‑code templates and configuration‑management scripts to provision cloud and on‑premises environments in a consistent, repeatable manner.
• Integrate security tooling and practices—such as static and dynamic application security testing, dependency scanning, and policy‑as‑code—directly into Dev Ops workflows.
• Collaborate with development and platform teams to standardize containerization, orchestration, and environment configurations that support microservices and modern application architectures.
• Implement automation and monitoring for platform health, observability, and incident response, using metrics and logs to drive reliability and performance improvements.
• Support auto‑provisioning of infrastructure hardware, storage, and networks as part of an “as‑a‑Service” model, aligning solutions with cost, scalability, and operational objectives.
• Define and document Dev Sec Ops  standards, patterns, and best practices, mentoring engineers on Agile and Dev Sec Ops  methodologies and tool chains.
• Partner with stakeholders to evaluate new Dev Sec Ops  capabilities, assess risks, and recommend changes to improve pipeline security, resiliency, and compliance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• 8+ years of experience in Dev Sec Ops , Dev Ops, cloud, or platform engineering roles with significant hands‑on work implementing automated pipelines and “as‑a‑Service” delivery models.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure components, cloud capabilities, and software‑defined practices, including auto‑provisioning and configuration management.
• Proven proficiency with Agile and Dev Sec Ops  methodologies and common automation tools used to build, test, secure, and deploy applications in cloud and on‑premises environments.
• Demonstrated problem‑solving, troubleshooting, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across development, security, and operations teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust investigation and U.S. citizenship as required for this remote federal IT role.

• Experience with Kubernetes‑based platforms and service meshes used to host microservices in production environments.
• Cloud‑provider Dev Ops or security certification such as AWS Certified Dev Ops Engineer or equivalent vendor credential.
• Background supporting federal or other highly regulated environments, including familiarity with SLAs, compliance expectations, and documentation standards.
• Experience mentoring other engineers in Dev Sec Ops  practices, including infrastructure‑as‑code, continuous integration and delivery, and architecture reviews.
