TL;DR · DevSecOps Engineer, Intelligent Platforms & Agents

DevSecOps Engineer – Intelligent Platforms & Agents joins the team to build and sustain delivery infrastructure for mission-critical platforms that simulate and interact with complex technical environments. The role involves designing automated CI/CD pipelines, hardening Kubernetes environments aligned to DISA STIG requirements, and automating security compliance tasks like SBOM production and CVE scanning. You will implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, manage Helm charts, and utilize GitOps practices across cloud and air-gapped networks. Key technologies include GitLab CI, RKE2 or K3S, Python, Bash, and AI tools to accelerate development workflows. The position requires a Secret clearance and focuses on the "everything as code" philosophy to solve security and compliance challenges in Navy and DoD environments. You will also contribute to feature development, applying a security-first perspective to application code while maintaining version-controlled documentation.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines to move code through security scanning and deployment into DoD environments.
  • Build and harden Kubernetes environments in compliance with DISA STIG requirements across cloud and restricted networks.
  • Automate the generation of security artifacts, including SBOM production, CVE scanning, and continuous compliance validation.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps practices, and "controls-as-code" to manage infrastructure and deployment workflows.
  • Utilize AI tools to accelerate pipeline development, vulnerability triage, and the creation of operational documentation.
  • Support Authorization to Operate (ATO) processes through automated evidence generation and documentation as code.
  • Contribute to application feature development using a security-first perspective when team capacity requires.
  • Maintain version-controlled technical documentation including runbooks, deployment guides, and architecture diagrams.

What we're looking for

  • Must have and maintain a Secret security clearance.
  • BS degree and 4+ years of professional DevSecOps or DevOps engineering experience, with 8+ years of total relevant experience.
  • Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI.
  • Experience with Kubernetes administration and hardening in DoD or compliance-driven environments (RKE2 or K3S preferred).
  • Experience implementing DISA STIG compliance in containerized and Linux environments (RHEL or Rocky Linux).
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tooling, particularly Terraform, and experience with Helm chart authoring.
  • Scripting proficiency in Python or Bash for pipeline and operational automation.
  • Active Security+ or IAT Level II certification (preferred); CKA certification (preferred).
