Overview

GDIT is seeking a Lead DevSecOps Engineer to drive the implementation and maturation of our unclassified engineering environment in support of a large-scale software development and modernization IDIQ program . This role will define and lead the DevSecOps strategy across a diverse application portfolio, accelerating modernization, standardization, and delivery for mission customers.

You will work closely with the Lead Systems Engineer and Solutions Architect , and will be directly managed by the Solutions Architect. Together, you will establish a unified vision, architecture, and operating model that enables consistent, secure, and scalable software delivery across the program.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Unclassified Environment Implementation

Architect, implement, and evolve GDIT's unclassified DevSecOps environment to support multi-team software development and modernization efforts.

Define environment patterns and templates that can be rapidly replicated across task orders and projects.

Strategic DevSecOps Vision & Roadmapping

Develop a unified DevSecOps strategy and technical vision for the IDIQ, aligning with the Solutions Architect and Lead Systems Engineer.

Create and maintain roadmaps for tools, platforms, and practices to standardize DevSecOps across the application portfolio.

Integrate modernization roadmaps across teams, ensuring consistent patterns for build, test, deploy, and operations.

Code Assessment & Modernization Approach

Define and implement a code assessment framework to evaluate legacy and modern applications (e.g., code quality, technical debt, security posture, cloud readiness).

Recommend modernization approaches (refactor, replatform, retire, replace) based on assessment outcomes, mission priorities, and risk.

Establish metrics and dashboards that provide visibility into application health, delivery performance, and modernization progress.

DevSecOps CI/CD & Data Pipelines

Design, implement, and optimize DevOps CI/CD pipelines for applications supporting the Intelligence Community (IC) and related environments.

Design data pipelines to support data-centric applications, analytics, and mission workflows, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and security.

Embed security controls, static/dynamic analysis, and compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines ("shift left" security).

Standardization & Tooling

Identify, evaluate, and recommend new technologies, tools, and platforms (e.g., container platforms, orchestration, IaC, security tools) to enhance the DevSecOps ecosystem.

Standardize toolchains and delivery patterns to reduce fragmentation, increase reuse, and improve reliability across teams.

Define and maintain reference architectures, templates, and playbooks for application onboarding, build, test, deploy, and operations.

Collaboration & Leadership

Partner with the Lead Systems Engineer to align DevSecOps practices with system architecture, integration, and performance requirements.

Work under the direction of the Solutions Architect to ensure DevSecOps strategy aligns with overall solution architecture and customer objectives.

Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to development, infrastructure, and security engineers across the program.

Evangelize DevSecOps culture, automation-first mindset, and continuous improvement practices.

Security, Compliance & Reliability

Ensure DevSecOps practices meet IC security expectations and applicable standards (e.g., zero trust principles, secure coding, STIGs where applicable).

Implement observability, monitoring, logging, and incident response patterns as part of the delivery pipeline.
