Working with more senior engineers, this position helps implement infrastructure‑as‑code patterns and observability practices that improve resilience, performance, and compliance while partnering with development, cloud, and security teams to standardize DevSecOps toolchains.

• Assist with the design and implementation of CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment activities for mission‑critical systems.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure‑as‑code templates and automation to provision and configure cloud and on‑premises environments in a consistent manner.
• Integrate security baselines, policy checks, and monitoring capabilities into pipelines to enforce DevSecOps practices across environments.
• Collaborate with application, cloud, and security teams to select and standardize DevSecOps toolchains that support an “as‑a‑Service” delivery model.
• Support auto‑provisioning of infrastructure components, including compute, storage, and networks, leveraging automation tools and software‑defined practices.
• Troubleshoot build, deployment, and environment issues, documenting root causes and contributing to continuous improvement of pipelines and platform reliability.
• Create and maintain documentation for pipeline configurations, infrastructure patterns, and DevSecOps procedures to support knowledge sharing and onboarding.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• 0–3 years of experience in DevSecOps, DevOps, cloud, or platform engineering roles, or in closely related software/system engineering positions.
• Fundamental understanding of infrastructure components, cloud capabilities, and software‑defined practices, including exposure to automation and configuration management tools.
• Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps methodologies and CI/CD tooling used to design and deliver scalable, cost‑effective solutions in an “as‑a‑Service” model.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, troubleshooting, and communication skills with the ability to work effectively as part of cross‑functional teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust investigation and U.S. citizenship as required for this remote federal IT position.

Requirements

• Experience contributing to DevSecOps enablement for teams, including assisting with pipeline standards, secure‑coding practices, or toolchain onboarding.
• Associate‑level DevOps or cloud‑security certification from a major cloud provider, with professional‑level certification considered a plus.
• Hands‑on experience supporting enterprise cloud infrastructure, including identity and access management, security groups, and cloud‑native services.
• Exposure to scripting and automation in cloud environments, such as using command‑line tools to support provisioning, monitoring, or troubleshooting.
