We have an immediate need for a mid-level DevSecOps Engineer to support the development, enhancement, and operation of scalable, application-focused CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks for build, test, and deployment workflows in AWS GovCloud. This role supports a variety of modern applications, including backend services, frontend applications, and data pipelines, with a strong emphasis on pipeline engineering, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and cloud-native deployments.
The position focuses on enabling reliable and scalable software delivery by building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and deployment workflows, while improving developer experience, release velocity, application quality, and system reliability across multi-stack environments.
Core Responsibilities:CI/CD & Pipeline Engineering- Build, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting backend, frontend, and data workflows
- Implement and contribute to reusable pipeline templates for build, test, validation, and deployment
- Support pipeline quality gates, including test coverage, code quality checks, and artifact versioning for promotion across environments
- Assist in optimizing pipelines for speed, reliability, and traceability
Infrastructure as Code- Implement and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform as the primary IaC tool
- Contribute to and utilize reusable Terraform modules to standardize infrastructure
- Support automated provisioning of infrastructure supporting application environments and CI/CD pipelines
Application Delivery & Developer Experience- Apply best practices supporting application delivery across backend, frontend, and data applications
- Improve developer workflows by enabling efficient build, test, and deployment processes
- Partner with engineering teams to improve test coverage, reliability, and maintainability
- Improve overall release confidence, developer experience, and software quality
Cloud-Native Deployment (AWS)- Build and optimize deployment pipelines for AWS-native services, including Fargate, Lambda, and API-driven architectures
- Support implementation of scalable deployment strategies and environment consistency
- Assist with versioning, artifact management, and release automation
Embedded Security & Compliance- Integrate security tools (e.g., SAST, SCA, container scanning) into CI/CD pipelines
- Support policy-as-code and automated compliance validation
- Contribute to aligning pipeline and infrastructure practices with NIST 800-53, STIG, and RMF requirements
Monitoring & Reliability- Support implementation and maintenance of observability for applications, pipelines, and infrastructure
- Assist with proactive monitoring and continuous improvement of system reliability
Requirements- U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance
- Security+ certification (or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire)
- 3-6 years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or Platform Engineering, with a strong focus on CI/CD pipeline development for application delivery
- Hands-on experience with Terraform for provisioning and managing infrastructure
- Experience integrating automated testing (unit, integration, API) and security/quality checks (e.g., SAST, DAST) into CI/CD workflows
- Experience working across multi-stack environments (backend, frontend, data pipelines)
- Experience collaborating with engineering teams in Agile environments
- Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, or similar)
- Experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, or similar)
- Working knowledge of AWS cloud-native architectures (e.g., Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway)
- Familiarity with logging, monitoring, and observability practices in cloud environments
- Familiarity with artifact management and versioning practices in CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with implementing least-privilege access controls for CI/CD pipelines and cloud resources
- Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks (NIST, RMF, FedRAMP)
