POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Lead DevSecOps & Compliance Engineer is a senior technical leader responsible for embedding security, auditability, and compliance automation across the full software delivery lifecycle. This role ensures the platform is secure by design, continuously compliant, and aligned with Zero Trust principles. Working at the intersection of cybersecurity, DevOps, and compliance engineering, this engineer defines and enforces platform-wide security policies, hardens build and deployment processes, and maintains traceability of technical controls to federal mandates such as FIAR, NDAA, FedRAMP, and Zero Trust Architecture.
This role operates as a core member of the technical leadership team, collaborating with cloud platform engineers, backend developers, AI/ML teams, and project leadership to safeguard every layer of the stack—from infrastructure to middleware to deployment artifacts. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience implementing and maintaining Azure infrastructure (especially AKS and Mission Landing Zones), security automation, policy-as-code, and compliance in a federal environment.
U.S. Citizenship is required and the candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance. This is a hybrid, full-time position with an onsite requirement of 3 days a week at our Crystal City HQ.
Key Responsibilities
- Azure Platform Security Engineering (AKS + MLZ)
- Design, implement, and maintain secure Azure infrastructure in production, including AKS and Mission Landing Zones (MLZs).
- Operate AKS securely (upgrades, node pools, ingress, RBAC/Entra ID integration, network policies, and observability).
- Implement and enforce MLZ/landing zone guardrails (management groups, Azure Policy, hub-and-spoke networking, private networking patterns, and identity integration).
- Secure CI/CD & Software Supply Chain
- Integrate and enforce security scanning within CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM generation).
- Implement gated releases and release verification, including artifact integrity and provenance controls (e.g., signing/attestation where applicable).
