Location:

Job Type: Full-time

Opportunity Status:

Role Status:
Proposed 100% dedicated Key Personnel

the company is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business focused on AI, data analytics, and technical solutions. We are recruiting a Senior Dev Sec Ops  Lead to serve as proposed key personnel for a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) federal contract pursuit supporting the Medicare Payment System Modernization (MPSM) environment.

The Senior Dev Sec Ops  Lead will serve as the senior technical lead responsible for helping implement, operate, and evolve shared Dev Sec Ops  capabilities across the Medicare Payment System Environment (MPSE).

This is not a general Dev Ops administration position. We are looking for a senior, team-lead-caliber engineer who has performed comparable work before and can lead the implementation of technical fixes, pipelines, automation, and common tooling across multiple delivery organizations.

The environment includes CMS Agile Delivery Organizations (ADOs) operating at different levels of technical maturity. A major part of the role is therefore not only building strong technical solutions, but understanding stakeholder needs, gathering requirements, building consensus, and helping teams adopt reusable tooling even when there is no direct authority to mandate its use.

The successful candidate must combine strong hands-on technical judgment with the ability to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

• Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of centralized and reusable Dev Sec Ops  services across MPSE product teams.

• Design, implement, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines that reduce manual intervention and support faster, more reliable software delivery.

• Lead implementation of shared Dev Sec Ops  tooling and technical remediation approaches across multiple Agile Delivery Organizations.

• Support cloud infrastructure and platform engineering within the CMS environment.

• Automate infrastructure deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

• Embed security throughout the software development lifecycle, including automated security scanning, vulnerability management, compliance validation, and security remediation.

• Develop and support reusable services, utilities, and automation that reduce duplication across ADO teams.

• Support automated testing, deployment automation, release management, and production-readiness activities.

• Support system and application monitoring, reliability, performance, and operational engineering.

• Identify, triage, resolve, and participate in root-cause analysis and postmortems for system, security, and operational incidents.

• Support production deployment planning, including runbooks, rollback plans, launch planning, and feature-management approaches.

• Support disaster-recovery planning and testing.

• Collaborate with the ISSO and other security stakeholders on vulnerability remediation, compliance findings, ATO-related requirements, and technical security implementation.

• Gather requirements from ADOs and other CMS stakeholders and translate those requirements into reusable technical capabilities.

• Work with teams at different levels of technical maturity to understand their pain points and identify practical approaches for adoption of shared tooling.

• Build consensus and influence adoption of common Dev Sec Ops  capabilities without relying on formal organizational authority.

• Participate in architectural reviews and provide technical guidance related to cloud-native design, Dev Sec Ops , software delivery, and reusable services.

• Participate in the team’s shared on-call production-support rotation.

• Participate in proposal preparation, mock sessions, team preparation, and the CMS oral-presentation process as proposed key personnel.

• Demonstrated senior-level Dev Sec Ops  engineering experience, including experience leading or substantially owning comparable technical work.

• Demonstrated ability to serve in a technical…
