 * Demonstrated expertise designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows, and automated deployment strategies
 * Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates, Ansible, or similar)
 * Deep understanding of security control implementation across cloud and hybrid environments
 * Experience assessing technical maturity, identifying gaps, and recommending practical modernization strategies
 * Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate complex technical environments and distill findings into actionable recommendations
 * Ability to obtain DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) clearance

Desired:

 * FedRAMP authorization experience including security assessment, continuous monitoring, and compliance documentation
 * Familiarity with NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), Authority to Operate (ATO) processes, and federal security control baselines
 * Knowledge of DHS cloud policies, Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) 3.0 requirements, and DHS Enterprise Architecture standards
 * Experience implementing zero-trust architecture principles including software-defined perimeter, micro-segmentation, and identity-centric security
 * Hands-on experience with container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, AKS)
 * Background with service mesh architectures (Istio, Linkerd, Consul) and API gateway platforms (Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway)
 * Proficiency with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, ELK stack)
 * Experience with security automation tools including SAST/DAST scanners, dependency scanning, and compliance-as-code platforms
 * Cloud certifications: AWS Solutions Architect, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure Solutions Architect, Azure DevOps Engineer, or equivalent

## Description

* Evaluate cloud hosting architectures across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments including compute, storage, networking, and managed services utilization
 * Assess cloud-native design patterns, serverless adoption, containerization maturity, and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) opportunities
 * Review multi-region and multi-availability zone strategies for high availability and disaster recovery
 * Evaluate environment design across development, test, staging, and production including environment parity and configuration drift
 * Identify cloud cost optimization opportunities including rightsizing, reserved capacity, and architectural efficiency
 * Assess alignment with FedRAMP requirements, cloud security best practices, and DHS cloud policies

CI/CD Pipeline & DevSecOps Maturity Evaluation:

 * Review Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines including build automation, testing frameworks, and deployment orchestration
 * Assess artifact management practices, container registries, and software composition analysis
 * Evaluate deployment strategies including blue-green deployments, canary releases, rolling updates, and rollback procedures
 * Review test automation coverage including unit testing, integration testing, security testing (SAST/DAST), and performance testing
 * Assess DevSecOps maturity including security integration within development workflows, shift-left security practices, and automated compliance validation
 * Identify pipeline bottlenecks, manual handoffs, and opportunities to accelerate delivery velocity while maintaining security and quality

Infrastructure-as-Code & Configuration Management:

 * Evaluate Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) adoption using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates, or similar platforms
 * Assess configuration management practices, version control discipline, and code review processes for infrastructure
 * Review environment provisioning automation, infrastructure testing, and policy-as-code implementation
 * Evaluate immutable infrastructure patterns, container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS), and declarative configuration approaches
 * Identify opportunities to reduce configuration drift, improve environment consistency, and enhance infrastructure reliability through automation

Cybersecurity Controls & Authorization Posture:

 * Assess Identity and Access Management (IAM) patterns, role-based access control (RBAC), and least-privilege implementation
 * Evaluate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement, privileged access management (PAM), and secrets management practices
 * Review Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) integration, centralized logging coverage, and log retention compliance
 * Assess alerting mechanisms, threat detection capabilities, and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) maturity
 * Evaluate incident response preparedness, playbook documentation, and security operations center (SOC) integration
 * Review vulnerability management practices including scanning frequency, remediation workflows, and patch management automation
 * Assess compliance with NIST SP 800-53 security controls, Risk Management Framework (RMF) requirements, and continuous monitoring practices

Modern Architecture Enablers & Integration Patterns:

 * Recommend adoption of API gateways for centralized API management, traffic control, and security policy enforcement
 * Evaluate service mesh opportunities (Istio, Linkerd, AWS App Mesh) to improve microservices observability, security, and resilience
 * Assess automation platforms and orchestration tools that can improve operational efficiency and reduce manual toil
 * Identify opportunities to leverage managed services, serverless computing, and event-driven architectures
 * Recommend container orchestration, service discovery, and distributed tracing implementations
 * Advise on interoperability improvements through standardized APIs, event streaming, and asynchronous messaging patterns
