Position Overview
We are seeking a versatile DevSecOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain the CI/CD pipelines, API integrations, and infrastructure that power our hybrid environment. You will bridge the gap between our development teams and IT operations, ensuring seamless integration between our on-premises data centers and our gov cloud footprint (AWS and Azure). Your goal is to automate everything, build robust application interfaces, minimize downtime, and accelerate the delivery of secure, high-quality software.
Core Responsibilities
- Design and manage end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that deploy software consistently across local servers and cloud environments. Use DevOps tools to ensure local hardware and cloud environments are managed as code.
- Design, build, document, and maintain secure, scalable RESTful APIs, microservices, and web services to enable seamless integration between on-premises applications, cloud-native services, and third-party systems.
- Manage and monitor the networking, API request routing, and data synchronization between on-prem storage and cloud-native services.
- Leverage site-reliability best practices to ensure continuous service delivery, API resilience, and high-availability across hybrid environments.
- Embed security scanning, compliance checks, API authentication protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0, SAML, API keys), and rate-limiting directly into the development lifecycle.
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to automation, consistently identifying opportunities to replace manual workflows with scalable, programmatic solutions and automated API integrations.
- Exhibit excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between engineering complexities and business objectives.
- Maintain composure and provide clear leadership during high-pressure system outages, API failures, or production incidents.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field is required.
- Six (6) years of progressive experience.
- Must possess an active U.S. Government Security Clearance (Secret clearance required).
- Active CompTIA Security+ CE certification (or higher DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II compliant certification, such as CYSA+, GSEC, or CISSP).
Technical Experience:
- Proven experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
- Strong background in API engineering, including experience with API gateways, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, and web service protocols.
- Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation).
- Hands-on scripting and programming capability (e.g., Python, Bash, Go, or Node.js).
