Job description

We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Software Engineer to lead the design and implementation of secure development and deployment practices across our software and systems stack. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will own the DevOps space and our stack for managing the CI/CD pipeline and help define DevSecOps strategy working with our VP of Cybersecurity, build secure pipelines, and ensure compliance with defense and commercial security standards-all while enabling rapid innovation. RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Architect, build, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines supporting cloud, on-prem, and embedded systems
  • Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in CI/CD pipelines to maintain fast, reliable and scalable build and test workflows
  • Integrate automated software test into the CI/CD pipeline with metrics to ensure that builds are clearly controlled and tested
  • Integrate automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA, fuzzing) into development workflows
  • Lead “shift-left” security initiatives across the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Design and enforce secure software supply chain practices, including artifact signing, SBOM generation, and dependency management
  • Develop and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with security-first principles (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Establish and maintain secure build environments, including support for controlled or air-gapped systems
  • Collaborate with software, firmware, and systems engineers to remediate vulnerabilities and improve secure coding practices
  • Implement identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and encryption strategies
  • Monitor, detect, and respond to security events across environments
  • Support compliance efforts aligned with standards such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, and related frameworks

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience)
  • 6 or more years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, security engineering, or software engineering
  • Experience with programming/scripting in environments like Python, Go, Bash, or similar
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and secure cloud architecture
  • Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Understanding of application and infrastructure security (OWASP Top 10, secure coding practices)
  • Experience with security tools such as SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning
  • A working knowledge of Linux, networking, and system security fundamentals
  • Strong ownership mindset and ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Pragmatic approach to balancing security, compliance, and development velocity.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills.
  • Systems thinking across software, hardware, and infrastructure layers.
  • Continuous learning mindset in a rapidly evolving threat landscape

DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE (Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)

  • Experience with managing pipeline for embedded firmware, real time software and test software infrastructure in addition to application or cloud software.
  • Background in defense, aerospace, or other regulated industries
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, RMF, or FedRAMP
  • Experience with secure embedded development or RTOS environments
  • Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture and policy-as-code (e.g., Open Policy Agent)
  • Experience working with air-gapped or high-security environments
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, Security+, AWS Security Specialty)

Benefits & conditions

  • Secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines that enable rapid and compliant software delivery
  • Reduced vulnerability exposure and faster remediation cycles
  • Strong alignment with defense and commercial security standards
  • A culture where security is embedded into engineering from day one
