Eligibility to obtain future security clearances is required.
DevOps / Security Engineer
Remote / Full-time / US Based / Eligible to obtain future Security Clearance
We are looking for a DevOps / Security Engineer who can build and maintain the infrastructure
and security operations. You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD
automation, and security compliance — ensuring our TypeScript platform is continuously
deployed, monitored, and hardened to IL4/IL5 standards. This role is equal parts builder and
defender: you’ll ship infrastructure and pipelines while ensuring every layer meets the security
bar required for the mission.
What You’ll Do
• Build, manage, and optimize cloud infrastructure on AWS GovCloud (or Azure
Government) to meet IL4/IL5 hosting requirements.
• Own the CI/CD pipeline end-to-end — from code commit to production deployment —
using GitHub Actions with security gates at every stage.
• Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK) for repeatable,
auditable environment provisioning.
• Manage containerized deployments (Docker) with proper image scanning, signing, and
registry controls.
• Design and maintain staging, testing, and production environments with appropriate
network isolation.
Required Qualifications
• Active U.S. Secret clearance or ability to obtain (U.S. citizenship required).
• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or security engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience with AWS (GovCloud preferred) or Azure Government cloud
environments.
• Strong proficiency with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tooling.
• Working knowledge of DISA STIGs, NIST 800-53 controls, and the RMF process.
• Experience with PostgreSQL administration, backup, and hardening in production
environments.
• Familiarity with Linux system administration and network security fundamentals.
• Comfortable working in a TypeScript/Node.js application environment.
