We deliver full-spectrum cybersecurity, digital transformation, cloud migration, DevSecOps, and emerging technology Research and Development (R&D) solutions across the Department of War (DoW), Intelligence Community (IC), Federal civilian, State, Local and Education (SLED), commercial, and international markets. We are seeking an experienced DevSecOps Engineer to help architect, secure, and scale the cloud infrastructure supporting our AI-powered operational intelligence platform.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on experience with AWS and AWS GovCloud, has built and operated production-grade CI/CD pipelines, and brings a security-first mindset to infrastructure and deployment decisions. This position is ideal for an engineer who wants full ownership of infrastructure and delivery pipelines, from environment provisioning through secure production deployment, rather than a narrow slice of the stack. This position is contingent upon contract award.

What You’ll Work On

• Secure AWS and AWS GovCloud infrastructure
• CI/CD pipeline ownership and modernization

• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, etc.)
• Strong understanding of secure software development and infrastructure practices

• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving technical environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting ATO, RMF, FedRAMP, IL4/IL5, or related compliance efforts
• Knowledge of secure enclave architectures and air-gapped deployment models
• Experience with observability tooling (metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing)
• Background supporting disaster recovery, backup, and continuity planning
• Active or previously held U.S. Government security clearance
• Experience supporting DoD, federal, or national security customers

Desired Traits

• Builder mindset with strong ownership and execution skills
