Job Description:

As the Technical DevSecOps Manager, you will drive the transformation of mission‑critical systems for a high‑visibility national security customer. This role is ideal for a Senior DevOps Engineer who thrives on modernization at scale and wants to directly contribute to mission outcomes while developing and mentoring elite engineering teams.

The Technical DevSecOps Manager is responsible for leading multiple agile development teams in designing, implementing, and operating DevSecOps practices across a portfolio of applications. These applications are hosted on virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless platforms. This role owns the strategy and execution of multiple continuous Integration/continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, ensures security is integrated throughout the delivery lifecycle, and drives continuous improvement in speed, quality, and reliability.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Lead and coordinate multiple agile development teams delivering applications across VMs, containers, and serverless environments.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for DevSecOps delivery, aligning teams, stakeholders, and leadership on priorities and progress.

• Define and own the DevSecOps roadmap, standards, and best practices for the organization.

• Architect and oversee implementation of multiple CI/CD pipelines supporting diverse applications and technologies.

• Standardize pipeline templates, reusable components, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules to enable consistency and reuse.

• Ensure pipelines support blue/green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies where appropriate.

• Optimize build and deployment performance, reliability, and observability.

• Oversee the design and management of build, test, staging, and production environments across cloud and/or on‑prem infrastructure.

• Ensure scalable, resilient, and secure configurations for virtual machines, container platforms (e.g., Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE), and serverless services.

• Embed Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) policies into pipelines and platform configurations

• Integrate security controls into every stage of the pipeline (DevSecOps), including SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and secrets management.

• Collaborate with security, architecture, and operations teams to ensure compliance with security, governance, and regulatory requirements.

• Champion “shift-left” practices, embedding security, quality, and reliability early in the development process.

• Mentor and coach engineers and scrum teams on DevSecOps, agile delivery, and automation best practices.

• Stay current with industry trends, tools, and practices in DevSecOps, CI/CD, cloud platforms, containers, and serverless, and recommend improvements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.

• TS/SCI with Polygraph

• 10+ years of experience in software development, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.

• 3+ years of experience leading multiple agile teams or acting as a release train engineer, delivery manager, or similar leadership role.

• Demonstrated experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines for complex applications.

• Hands-on experience with:

• CI/CD tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, ArgoCD).

• Source control and branching strategies (Git, trunk-based, GitFlow, etc.).

• Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and associated services for VMs, containers, and serverless.

• Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, AKS, EKS, GKE).

• Serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions).

• Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation).

• Strong knowledge of DevSecOps practices, including automated security test
