DevSecOps Engineer
The Opportunity:
Modern engineering teams rely on secure, automated delivery pipelines and cloud-hosted DevSecOps platforms to deliver software quickly, reliably, and securely. As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will design, build, harden, and operate CI/CD systems, cloud infrastructure, and container platforms that support the software lifecycle from code commit through production deployment. You will partner with multiple project teams to embed security controls, automate delivery workflows, and build scalable, resilient environments.
The preferred candidate is a hands-on senior engineer who can bridge database engineering, API development, DevSecOps automation, and secure platform architecture. This person should be comfortable taking an initial concept, building an MVP, working directly with platform teams, and turning the solution into reusable templates and implementation patterns for multiple database technologies. The candidate will be responsible to design, tune, and maintain relational and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Aurora, Oracle, MongoDB, and AWS RDS-based services. They will support database migration, backup, replication, disaster recovery, and point-in-time recovery activities. Support secure software delivery in accordance with DoD, IC, RMF, ICD-503, NIST SP 800-53, STIG, and continuous monitoring requirements. Work with us as we build mission-focused systems for the better.
Join us. The world can't wait.
