DevSecOps Engineer

Role Overview

As a DevSecOps Engineer at Agile Defense, you will join a specialized Agile Pod to build and sustain a secure, automated software delivery “factory.” The role focuses on an end-to-end toolchain (CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and Cloud Development Environments) designed for ATO-required, mission-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Secure platform implementation
  • Deploy/configure enterprise CI/CD and automated infrastructure tools across on-prem, private cloud, and air-gapped environments.
  • Implement hardened installations including SSO/IAM, RBAC, and segregation of duties.
  • Manage secrets and encryption using enterprise tooling such as HashiCorp Vault, HSM, or KMS.
• Automated infrastructure & governance
  • Use automated/low-code approaches to produce production-ready IaC using Terraform or OpenTofu.
  • Build standardized pipeline foundations including “Golden Templates” and policy guardrails for security approvals and mission compliance.
  • Orchestrate secure, scalable developer workspaces (CDEs) for consistent environments (for humans and AI coding agents).
• Compliance, ATO & sustainment
  • Convert configurations into NIST 800-53 / FedRAMP evidence (diagrams, control mappings, baselines).
  • Provide post-implementation sustainment: patching, upgrades, and audit log/telemetry health checks.
  • Troubleshoot end-to-end SDLC toolchain integration issues (e.g., code scanning to deployment verification).

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years in DevSecOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering
• Secret clearance eligible (must be able to obtain/maintain)
• Experience in restricted/air-gapped/regulated environments (e.g., GovCloud, FedRAMP, RMF-governed)
• Strong Terraform or OpenTofu proficiency
• Hands-on Kubernetes (networking, storage, security policies)
• Strong networking fundamentals: TLS, network proxies, and audit-friendly telemetry

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with enterprise CI/CD orchestration platforms
• Experience with Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) / remote workspace orchestration
• Experience generating documentation for RMF
