Lead DevSecOps Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Architect and scale robust, secure CI/CD pipelines, data integrations, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) across project-based deployments.
• Partner with development teams to seamlessly integrate, automate, and monitor security tool components within automated workflows.
• Define guidelines and standards for AWS Cloud and Kubernetes environments, implementing advanced solutions for system security, backups, and redundancy.
• Champion DevSecOps culture by mentoring junior/mid-level engineers, educating teams on modern tooling, and resolving complex configuration or performance issues.
• Leverage Generative AI engineering tools (such as Claude, Gemini, Copilot) to accelerate the development of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), pipeline scripts, and automation workflows.
• Optimize cloud infrastructure and container ecosystems to ensure cost-efficiency, scalability, and strict adherence to governance standards.
• Drive engineering excellence by guiding the preparation of comprehensive technical documentation, processes, and procedures.

Requirements

• BA/BS Degree and 8+ years of relevant experience (or an equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Proven experience architecting and managing scalable AWS Cloud infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience deploying or supporting Generative AI development workflows, with specific familiarity utilizing AWS Bedrock or similar cloud‑native AI/ML services.
• Strong expertise deploying, performance tuning, and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters utilizing Helm, Docker, container registries, and secure build tools like Kaniko.
• Deep hands‑on experience building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code configurations using Terraform.
• Proven experience designing and implementing end‑to‑end CI/CD pipelines, automated security gates, and advanced Git version control workflows.
• Strong proficiency in automation scripting (Ansible, Bash, or Python) and Linux/Unix system administration (RHEL or CentOS preferred).
• Active Security+ Certification and familiarity with government standards for security, identity, and data management (e.g., NIST, FedRAMP, IAM).
