Job description

Position Overview

The DevSecOps Engineer, Mid provides engineering leadership to design, secure, and automate delivery pipelines and infrastructure that support mission‑critical applications. This role owns CI/CD workflows that integrate build, test, and security controls so deployments to cloud and on‑premises environments are consistent, repeatable, and compliant. The DevSecOps Engineer, Mid designs infrastructure‑as‑code patterns and observability practices to improve resilience and performance, partnering with development, cloud, and security teams to standardize toolchains and promote DevSecOps best practices across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment activities for mission‑critical systems across multiple environments.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure‑as‑code templates and automation scripts to provision and configure cloud and on‑premises environments in a consistent, scalable manner.
• Embed security baselines, policy checks, and monitoring into pipelines to enforce DevSecOps practices, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and addressed early in the lifecycle.
• Collaborate with application, cloud, and security teams to evaluate, 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.
• Monitor pipeline and platform health, troubleshoot build and deployment issues, and use metrics and logs to drive continuous improvement in reliability and performance.
• Contribute to documentation of DevSecOps standards, runbooks, and best practices, and provide coaching to teams adopting pipeline and secure‑coding standards.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• 4–7+ years of experience in DevSecOps, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or platform engineering with strong exposure to security controls and automation.
• Solid understanding of infrastructure components, cloud capabilities, and software‑defined practices, including auto‑provisioning and configuration management.
• Hands‑on experience with Agile and DevSecOps methodologies, CI/CD tooling, and automation used to design and deliver scalable, cost‑effective solutions in an “as‑a‑Service” model.
• Strong problem‑solving, troubleshooting, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across application, cloud, and security 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 leading DevSecOps enablement for multiple teams, including coaching on pipeline standards, secure coding practices, and toolchain adoption.
• Professional DevOps or cloud‑security certification from a major provider (for example, AWS, Azure, or other leading cloud platforms).
• Familiarity with federal or other highly regulated environments, including working with SLAs and compliance expectations.
• Experience with scripting languages and modern cloud engineering practices such as infrastructure‑as‑code, continuous integration and delivery, and architecture reviews.
