DevSecOps Engineer​/Solution Architect

Program Description

NOTE: This is a short‑term position with an expected duration of April 1, 2026 – September 15, 2026. This program provides IT services focused on building, securing, and operating the Department of Veteran Affairs LGY's home loan product‑line technology. The contract’s purpose is to modernize and sustain critical home loan technology systems that support LGY’s delivery of mortgage‑related services to program stakeholders, to provide continuous delivery and security integration.

The Dev Sec Ops  Engineer/Solution Architect is responsible for defining architectural direction, making crucial architectural decisions, and ensuring implementations meet the specified criteria. Ideal candidates should have substantial experience in an AWS environment, managing Jenkins servers with multiple CI/CD pipelines across various environments, and working with Git Hub and Git Ops. Proficiency with Terraform/Ansible or similar tools is preferred. Experience with AWS Code Build and Code Deploy is a plus.

• Architecture & Technical Leadership – Define the end‑to‑end Dev Sec Ops  and cloud architecture approach for CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and deployment patterns.
• Make and document architectural decisions (standards, patterns, tool selection, trade‑offs) aligned to program requirements.
• Establish architectural guardrails and acceptance criteria to ensure implementations meet security and operational expectations.
• Produce and maintain architecture artifacts (logical/physical diagrams, reference architectures, standards, decision records).
• CI/CD Platform Engineering (Jenkins + Multi‑Environment Delivery) – Architect, configure, and maintain Jenkins servers supporting multiple CI/CD pipelines across Dev/Test/Stage/Prod environments.
• Design scalable pipeline patterns (shared libraries, templates, standard stages, approvals, and promotion strategies).
• Implement strategies for high availability, performance, access control, and plugin governance for Jenkins.
• Drive pipeline reliability through standardized build/deploy processes, error handling, and repeatable automation.
• Git Hub & Git Ops Enablement – Integrate pipelines with Git Hub (branching strategies, PR workflows, hooks/webhooks, checks, release tagging). Establish and support Git Ops workflows (declarative configuration, environment promotion, and drift management).
• Promote consistent repository and workflow standards across engineering teams.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation – Design and implement IaC using Terraform, Ansible, or comparable tools to enable repeatable and secure provisioning.
• Build automation for environment creation, configuration management, and compliance alignment.
• Ensure IaC follows best practices: modularity, versioning, secure secrets handling, and policy enforcement.
• Cloud Engineering & Deployment Strategy (AWS) – Architect and oversee AWS environment usage, ensuring alignment to cloud best practices and program constraints.
• Define secure deployment patterns and connectivity requirements across AWS accounts/environments.
• Collaborate with security and operations to ensure logging/monitoring, identity/access, and encryption requirements are satisfied.
• Integration with AWS Native CI/CD (Plus) – Where applicable, incorporate AWS Code Build and AWS Code Deploy into delivery workflows or migration plans.
• Evaluate and recommend when Jenkins vs. AWS native CI/CD services is the best fit, and define integration approaches.
• Stakeholder Collaboration & Delivery Assurance – Partner with application teams, cloud engineers, security, and SRE/operations to ensure delivery solutions meet functional and non‑functional requirements.
• Provide technical oversight and mentorship to Dev Sec Ops  engineers and platform teams.
• Participate in planning, backlog refinement, and technical reviews to ensure architectural alignment.

• 8+ years of experience
• Core Technical Expertise:
  Extensive hands‑on experience designing and operating solutions in an AWS environment.
• Strong expertise managing Jenkins servers supporting multiple CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments (Dev/Test/Stage/Prod).
