• Drive the full DevSecOps lifecycle—from requirements and design through development, integration, testing, deployment, monitoring, and sustainment.
• Lead cloud modernization efforts, implementing CI/CD pipelines, containerization, IaC, automated testing, and secure-by-design methodologies.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary agile teams to design high-performing, compliant, and scalable cloud solutions.
• Develop high-quality, well-documented, maintainable code that meets mission and customer objectives.
• Build comprehensive unit and automated tests to ensure reliability, maintain high code quality, and enable rapid iteration.
• Conduct code reviews, troubleshoot complex technical challenges, and implement performance improvements.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, helping elevate team expertise and technical excellence.
• Lead continuous innovation efforts, staying current with industry trends and emerging cloud technologies such as advanced CI/CD practices, automated testing, and modern security frameworks.
• Document architectures, deployments, and system behavior, producing technical reports, diagrams, and user documentation.
  
  

Requirements

• U.S. Citizenship (required for government contract eligibility)
• Active Secret Clearance or higher — with the ability to obtain and maintain additional clearance levels if needed.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or a related technical discipline.
• 4+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including provisioning, automation, and operational management.
• Strong understanding of modern DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD, automation, containerization, and modern cloud-native architectures.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment supporting highly complex, mission-critical projects.
  
  

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) expertise using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK.
• Proficient with Git and modern version control workflows (GitFlow, trunk-based development, feature branching).
• Cloud security knowledge, including secure-by-design principles, cloud hardening, IAM best practices, and compliance frameworks.
• Cloud networking proficiency, including VPCs, routing, firewalls, load balancing, VPNs, and hybrid connectivity.
• Experience with single sign-on (SSO) and identity federation solutions.
• Strong Python development skills, including automation, tooling, or infrastructure scripting.
• Familiarity with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and public-key cryptography concepts.
• Experience with AWS WorkSpaces or virtual desktop environments.
• Proficiency in Windows system administration and experience managing Active Directory or managed AD services.
• Solid experience in Linux environments, including configuration, automation, and troubleshooting.
