📋 Description

• As DevSecOps Lead you will build and operate the delivery platform for a new AI-enabled program in a government cloud environment: the CI/CD pipeline, the infrastructure it runs on, the security controls built into it, and the artifacts that pipeline produces to support authorization. • This is a lead role that stays hands on keyboard. You will make the architecture calls and you will also build them. • Own the initial platform deployment into the government IL-5 environment, which is the program's first contract deliverable and lands early. • Build and prove the pipeline and infrastructure as code on our own cloud first, using portable templates, so deployment into the government environment is a port rather than a build. • Own the CI/CD pipeline end to end: build, test, static and dynamic security analysis, software composition analysis, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, SBOM generation, and gated promotion to production.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of DevOps and DevSecOps engineering experience, including at least one production pipeline owned end to end at scale. • 3+ years working in DoW or federal cloud environments at IL-4 or IL-5, or an equivalent authorized environment. AWS GovCloud strongly preferred. • Hands-on keyboard while leading. You make the architecture calls and you build. This role is not a coordination or oversight function. • Cloud and infrastructure depth: containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes or equivalent), infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar), and CI/CD tooling on at least one major cloud, including hardened base images and image promotion • Observability practice: you instrument what you build and use metrics and logs to drive improvements, rather than waiting on incident reports. • Security built into delivery: you treat security scanning, compliance validation, and evidence generation as normal pipeline stages. • Direct experience supporting an ATO, cATO, or equivalent authorization, including producing the artifacts an assessor actually accepts. • A track record of standing something up under a hard deadline, in an environment where access, approvals, and accounts were outside your control. You have shipped a first deployment into a government environment on a fixed date, and you know what has to be in motion beforehand to make that possible. • Ready on day one. The first deliverable comes early, so we need someone who arrives with a pipeline pattern they already know works and adapts it, rather than researching an approach from scratch. • An owner: you drive work to done, communicate status and risk plainly, and do not need to be managed through the details. • US Citizenship Required • Active US Secret clearance. The work is performed in a controlled government cloud environment and requires a favorable investigation and CAC eligibility from the start. • Willingness to travel up to 25% to customer sites, DEFCON AI HQ, and vendor facilities as required.

🏖️ Benefits

• A fully remote, results-based environment • Competitive salary, bonus, and equity package • 100% employer paid, comprehensive health insurance including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family • Unlimited PTO, with your manager’s approval • Flexible work environment where you manage your work day • 14 weeks of fully-paid parental leave
