• Work closely with the federal client's IT staff, security personnel, and other stakeholders to understand their specific requirements, address their concerns, and resolve technical challenges.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience will also be considered.
• Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer, Automation Engineer, or similar role, preferably in a federal or government contracting environment.
• Strong proficiency with relevant DevSecOps tools and technologies, such as CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab), version control systems (e.g., Git), configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), and containerization platforms (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining cloud environments with a focus on security and compliance using platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• In-depth understanding of federal security guidelines and compliance standards (e.g., FISMA, FedRAMP) and experience deploying software solutions adhering to these standards.
• Solid knowledge of security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify, OWASP Dependency Check) and vulnerability assessment practices.
• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell) to streamline and automate manual tasks and processes.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies and experience working within an Agile team.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively interface with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Must be eligible to obtain a Department of Homeland Security EOD clearance (Requirements 1. US Citizenship, 2. Favorable Background Investigation)
