Sr. DevOps Engineer

As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you will be at the forefront of cloud infrastructure engineering and secure software delivery - designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure through code, and integrating security controls that protect mission-critical systems from the ground up. You will deploy and support cloud-native and containerized workloads, monitor enterprise system health and security posture, and collaborate across software development, systems engineering, and cybersecurity teams to continuously improve delivery speed and security outcomes. From supporting system accreditation and risk mitigation efforts to developing architecture diagrams and deployment documentation, this role offers the rare combination of deep technical ownership and broad program impact. If you thrive at the intersection of automation, cloud, and security - this is the role for you.

Clearance: Active Top Secret/SCI clearance with Counterintelligence Polygraph (CI Poly) required Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, or a related STEM field Experience: Demonstrated senior-level experience designing and supporting DevSecOps and CI/CD environments in large-scale enterprise or government programs

Required Technical Skills: CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub, and GitLab to support software delivery and system modernization Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Hands-on experience automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using Terraform, Ansible, and/or CloudFormation AWS Cloud Infrastructure: Solid background administering AWS cloud services and cloud-native architectures in enterprise environments Security Integration: Experience embedding security controls, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks directly into development pipelines - security is built in, not bolted on Containers & Orchestration: Experience deploying and supporting containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes in enterprise or mission environments Linux Systems Administration: Proficiency supporting Linux-based environments including CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Monitoring & Observability: Experience using Splunk and Elasticsearch to monitor system health, performance, and security posture across complex environments Cybersecurity & Compliance: Working knowledge of cybersecurity principles, secure coding practices, and compliance requirements in regulated or government environments Scripting & Automation: Strong scripting skills for automating operational tasks and improving delivery efficiency Agile Collaboration: Experience supporting Agile development teams and operating effectively in sprint-based delivery cycles Documentation: Ability to develop and maintain clear operational documentation, deployment procedures, and architecture diagrams, IC / DoD Program Experience: Prior experience supporting Intelligence Community (IC) or Department of Defense programs - a strong differentiator for this role Kubernetes Administration: Advanced experience with Kubernetes administration and container orchestration at enterprise scale Zero Trust Architecture: Experience designing or implementing Zero Trust or cloud security architectures in classified or regulated environments Microservices: Experience supporting microservices-based applications and the unique DevSecOps challenges they present Compliance Frameworks: Familiarity with NIST 800-53, Risk Management Framework (RMF), and other federal cybersecurity compliance standards Certifications: Relevant certifications are highly desirable, including AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Security Specialty, CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD)
