Agile Defense is hiring a DevSecOps Engineer to join a specialized Agile Pod dedicated to building and sustaining a secure, automated software delivery factory. In this role, you will engineer a modern, end-to-end toolchain—encompassing CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and Cloud Development Environments (CDE)—tailored for mission-critical systems requiring an Authority to Operate (ATO). You will bridge high-level architecture with hands-on implementation, focusing on 'Security as Code' within restricted and air-gapped environments.
What You'll Do
- Deploy and configure enterprise-grade software delivery platforms, automated infrastructure tools, and centralized development environments across diverse hosting models.
- Implement hardened installations, including SSO/IAM integration, RBAC, and strict segregation of duties.
- Manage secrets and encryption using enterprise tools within highly regulated network boundaries.
- Utilize low-code or automated platforms to design and generate production-ready Infrastructure as Code.
- Build and maintain standardized pipeline foundations, including 'Golden Templates' and policy guardrails that automate security approvals.
- Orchestrate secure, scalable developer workspaces to ensure environment consistency for both human developers and AI coding agents.
- Translate technical configurations into NIST 800-53/FedRAMP evidence to accelerate security assessments.
- Provide post-implementation support, including platform patching, upgrade execution, and audit log health checks.
- Troubleshoot complex toolchain integration issues across the SDLC.
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years in DevSecOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering.
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Secret Clearance.
- Proven experience working in restricted, air-gapped, or regulated environments.
- Strong proficiency in Terraform or OpenTofu.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes.
- Deep understanding of TLS, network proxies, and 'evidence-friendly' telemetry.
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with enterprise CI/CD orchestration platforms.
- Experience with Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) or remote workspace orchestration.
- Experience generating documentation for RMF or ATO packages.
Technical Stack
- Terraform
- OpenTofu
- Kubernetes
- HashiCorp Vault
- HSM
- KMS
