Position Overview The DevSecOps Engineer, Junior supports the design, security, and automation of delivery pipelines and infrastructure that underpin mission-critical applications. The role contributes to CI/CD workflows that integrate build, test, and security controls so deployments to cloud and on-premises environments are consistent and repeatable. Working with more senior engineers, this position helps implement infrastructure-as-code patterns and observability practices that improve resilience, performance, and compliance while partnering with development, cloud, and security teams to standardize DevSecOps toolchains.
Key Responsibilities - Assist with the design and implementation of CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment activities for mission-critical systems.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code templates and automation to provision and configure cloud and on-premises environments in a consistent manner.
- Integrate security baselines, policy checks, and monitoring capabilities into pipelines to enforce DevSecOps practices across environments.
- Collaborate with application, cloud, and security teams to select and standardize DevSecOps toolchains that support an "as-a-Service" delivery model.
- Support auto-provisioning of infrastructure components, including compute, storage, and networks, leveraging automation tools and software-defined practices.
- Troubleshoot build, deployment, and environment issues, documenting root causes and contributing to continuous improvement of pipelines and platform reliability.
- Create and maintain documentation for pipeline configurations, infrastructure patterns, and DevSecOps procedures to support knowledge sharing and onboarding.
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
- 0-3 years of experience in DevSecOps, DevOps, cloud, or platform engineering roles, or in closely related software/system engineering positions.
- Fundamental understanding of infrastructure components, cloud capabilities, and software-defined practices, including exposure to automation and configuration management tools.
- Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps methodologies and CI/CD tooling used to design and deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions in an "as-a-Service" model.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, troubleshooting, and communication skills with the ability to work effectively as part of cross-functional teams.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust investigation and U.S. citizenship as required for this remote federal IT position.
Preferred Qualifications - Experience contributing to DevSecOps enablement for teams, including assisting with pipeline standards, secure-coding practices, or toolchain onboarding.
- Associate-level DevOps or cloud-security certification from a major cloud provider, with professional-level certification considered a plus.
- Hands-on experience supporting enterprise cloud infrastructure, including identity and access management, security groups, and cloud-native services.
- Exposure to scripting and automation in cloud environments, such as using command-line tools to support provisioning, monitoring, or troubleshooting.
