[Hiring] DevSecOps Engineer @TrussWorks

Role Description

Truss is looking for a skilled, hands-on DevSecOps or platform engineer. This person will:

• Stand up, secure, and operate the AWS environment that powers AI capabilities on a large federal program.
• Support the cloud infrastructure underneath that program's applications more broadly.
• Engage in data engineering for the platform: ingesting and preparing the documents and structured data that AI workflows depend on.
• Partner with program engineers who bring deep domain and data knowledge.
• Be the reference point for AI infrastructure on AWS, setting patterns for other engineers to follow.
• Support more than one application team at a time.

The work is meaningful, and the team is dedicated, but the program carries real security, privacy, and data retention obligations. Everyone is expected to perform and contribute at a high level. This role is expected to work 35 hours per week, including the core hours of 10:00am - 4:00pm ET. Must be able to travel to Baltimore, MD twice per calendar year. Hourly rate is $80 - $88 dependent on experience. Contract lasts through April 2027 with potential extension.

Qualifications

• Experience supporting AI or machine learning models on AWS: provisioning, deploying, and operating AI services in production (e.g., Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker), including the data pipelines that feed them.
• 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering.
• Experience building and operating cloud-native applications on AWS.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipeline development.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (e.g., ECS, EKS).
• Experience with identity and access management, secrets management, and cloud security best practices.
• Strong Python skills and working SQL, with hands-on experience building data pipelines (e.g., S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions).
• Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and observability solutions.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

Requirements

• You must be eligible to work in the U.S. and may be required to pass a federal background check at the discretion of the client/project you are placed on.
• Truss employees must live and work within the contiguous U.S. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor work visas at this time.

Benefits

• Full benefits.
• Generous PTO.
• Co-working budget.
• Employee effectiveness budget.
• Company-wide transparency around salaries and career leveling.
