We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to serve as a hands-on technical lead responsible for implementing and maturing secure delivery, infrastructure automation, and observability practices for a cloud-native, event-driven AWS platform supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs. This role leads CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code improvements, strengthens security integration, and advances platform reliability for Kafka/MSK event streaming, RPC-driven services, and real-time WebSocket applications. The Senior DevSecOps Engineer establishes standards, mentors team members, and coordinates with engineering, security, and operations stakeholders.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

·        Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Bitbucket, and related tools for automated build, test, security, and deployment workflows.

·        Develop and govern Infrastructure as Code and machine-image automation using Terraform, Packer, and comparable technologies for AWS environments.

·        Lead deployment and operational support of containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS-native platform services.

·        Integrate static analysis, software composition analysis, container, Infrastructure as Code, dependency, and configuration security checks into delivery pipelines.

·        Establish secure practices for Vault-based secrets management, IAM, encryption, access control, certificate handling, and configuration management.

·        Design and mature observability capabilities using Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and AWS-native monitoring services.

·        Automate and support Kafka/MSK infrastructure, including deployment, configuration, monitoring, operational tooling, and recovery procedures.

·        Define logging, monitoring, alerting, and performance-management standards that improve platform reliability and operational visibility.

·        Automate environment provisioning, release orchestration, configuration management, rollback, and recurring operational activities.

·        Support deployment, scaling, and resilience of distributed services and real-time streaming components, including WebSocket-enabled applications.

·        Lead troubleshooting, incident analysis, root cause review, and corrective actions for pipeline, infrastructure, security, and availability issues.

·        Establish DevSecOps standards, reference patterns, documentation, and governance for CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, security integration, and operational readiness.

·        Partner with cloud engineers and developers to embed secure delivery and operational practices throughout the software development lifecycle.

·        Mentor junior engineers, guide tooling decisions, identify delivery and availability risks, and promote continuous improvement across teams.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

·        6–8 years or more of experience in DevSecOps, DevOps, cloud engineering, platform engineering, or related roles.

·        Strong hands-on experience with AWS cloud platforms, networking, IAM, security services, and enterprise deployment practices.

·        Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or comparable enterprise automation tools.

·        Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and container orchestration using Kubernetes.

·        Experience with Docker, automated testing, artifact management, release orchestration, and production deployment strategies.

·        Experience implementing observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kibana, CloudWatch, or similar platforms.

·        Strong understanding of secure pipeline design, security scanning, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, least privilege, and auditability.

·        Experience supporting distributed systems and event-driven architecture; Kafka or AWS MSK operational experience is strongly valued.

·        Proficiency with scripting or automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell, Go, or a comparable language.

·        Ability to lead technical initiatives, establish engineering standards, troubleshoot complex systems, communicate technical risk, and mentor team members.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS DESIRED:

·        Experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs, another Federal agency, or a regulated enterprise environment.

·        Advanced experience supporting Kafka, AWS MSK, or another event-driven messaging platform in production.

·        Experience with Vault, Consul, Nexus, or similar enterprise platform, service-discovery, and artifact-management tooling.

·        Experience supporting real-time streaming, WebSocket-based applications, or other high-availability distributed services.

·        Relevant AWS, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Terraform, security, or DevOps certification is preferred, but not required.

EDUCATION:

·        Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

CLEARANCE:

·        Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
