Everforth ECS is seeking a
Cloud DevOps Engineer to work in our

We're looking for an engineer with strong hands-on experience across Linux, Windows, and cloud-native environments, paired with a deep automation mindset.

They're part of your normal workflow. You operate independently, you communicate well across technical and non-technical stakeholders, and you take ownership of your work from design through deployment.

- Implement and maintain security controls including IAM, encryption, network security, SELinux, and kernel hardening
- Apply DISA STIGs and ensure compliance with NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP requirements
- Support containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS
- Collaborate with development and security teams to push DevSecOps practices forward
- Keep documentation current so the next person isn't starting from scratch
