• 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).
