In this DevSecOps role, you won't just support pipelines-you'll architect, build, and lead the transformation of how we deliver secure, scalable, and resilient software in support of national security. You'll be responsible for developing new CI/CD pipelines from the ground up for applications, provisioning infrastructure in AWS GovCloud, and helping us migrate away from legacy tooling.

What You'll Do

• Design and build modern CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab for new, cloud-based products

• Integrate security scans, static analysis, container scans, and approval gates into the pipeline from Day 1

• Provision and manage AWS GovCloud infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation

• Support secure and compliant deployment of services such as Aurora, Lambda, EKS, S3, and EC2

• Manage system configurations across development, test, and operations environments

• Work in parallel with legacy platform teams to eventually migrate workloads onto your pipelines

• Collaborate with Java software developers, systems engineers, and other cross-functional teams

• Deliver an MVP pipeline for the greenfield observability product by end of summer, with operational maturity by January

• Provide technical leadership and independent initiative in a fast-moving Agile environment

What You'll Learn

• Full mission lifecycle of satellite ground control systems

• End-to-end DevSecOps deployment in a secure, classified AWS environment

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.

• Active and transferable U.S. government issued TS/SCI security clearance prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

• Experience building secure CI/CD pipelines from scratch (Jenkins, GitLab)

• Experience with AWS GovCloud, including provisioning managed services (Terraform, CloudFormation)

• Active TS/SCI

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience in DevSecOps toolchains including Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Gradle, Git, Bitbucket, Jira.

• Experience with system configuration management across Dev/Test/Ops environments

• Experience developing in a high-level programming language in a Linux OS environment.

• Proficiency with infrastructure scripting (Python, Shell)

• Knowledge of artifact versioning and secure artifact management practices

• Agile development experience (Scrum, Kanban)

• CompTIA Security+ certification

• Java awareness (how it builds, deploys, runs-not necessarily hands-on development)

• Familiarity with secure coding standards and deployment best practices

• Master's degree in a STEM field
