• Implement and maintain security best practices to protect the integrity and confidentiality of workloads running in the Kubernetes environment.
• Collaborate closely with application developers and platform tenants to understand their requirements and design Kubernetes solutions that meet functional, performance, and security needs.
• Provide guidance, coaching, and training to platform tenants on Kubernetes best practices, deployment patterns, and operational procedures.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Kubernetes clusters, containerized applications, and associated infrastructure components.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts and tooling to streamline deployment, configuration, and operational workflows.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline design and implementation to enable reliable, repeatable, and secure application delivery.
• Stay current with industry best practices and emerging trends in Kubernetes, containerization, Dev Sec Ops , and cloud-native technologies, and recommend improvements to the platform.
• Participate in collaborative engineering efforts with a large team to deliver new, innovative technology solutions to customers.

• Proven experience designing, deploying, and managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of containerization technologies such as Docker and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes in both cloud and on-premises environments, including clustering and orchestration concepts.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using tools such as Bash, Python, or Ansible.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools, such as Git Lab CI, to support automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Ability to understand and translate application and tenant requirements into effective Kubernetes configurations and deployment strategies.
• Solid understanding of cloud and on-premises deployment models and how they interact with containerized workloads.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work closely with tenants and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Must have a minimum of a DoD Secret Clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
• Kubernetes certifications such as Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
• Experience with Kubernetes ecosystem tools such as Helm, Istio, Argo CD, Flux CD, Prometheus, or Rancher.
• Knowledge of infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, including Terraform and Ansible, for automated provisioning and configuration.
• Experience working with major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and hybrid or multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments.
• Experience in Dev Sec Ops  practices, including integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and containerized environments.
• Experience with automation frameworks and tooling to support large-scale engineering initiatives.
• Ability to work effectively within a large, collaborative engineering organization and contribute to innovative, bleeding-edge technology solutions.

The Dev Sec Ops  Engineer will work within a large, collaborative engineering organization of approximately 160 engineers, supporting a major program that delivers new and innovative technology to customers. The role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days onsite and two days remote each week, providing both in-person collaboration and flexibility. The engineer will be among the first members of a growing team at the Tampa location and will receive strong support from the broader engineering group.

The environment focuses on all-new development, modern containerization and cloud-native technologies, and a high level of camaraderie and partnership with customers. Work will involve using tools and platforms such as Kubernetes, Docker, AKS, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, Ansible, Bash, and Python in both cloud and…
