About The Position

Cloud DevSecOps Engineer An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role. 👋🏼 Hey! Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here! Remember, Bitwise is not a cult. 🖖🏼 🎯 What We Look For Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you. We ask that every new hire be able to: Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together Know and live our core values every single day 💡 About this Role You're a software developer at heart — but somewhere along the way, you realized that writing code is only half the battle. The other half is architecting secure, scalable environments so that code actually runs. That's exactly what this role is about. As a Cloud DevSecOps Engineer on our CNMF DAT team, your primary objective is to make life better for both mission customers and development teams. You'll own the design, deployment, and security of cloud infrastructure that enables vital mission cognizance and automated workflows. You'll be dropped into customer spaces, handed complex architectural challenges, and trusted to build resilient systems that hold up under real operational pressure.

Requirements

• 12 years of relevant experience , with a B.S. in a technical discipline — or 16 years of experience in lieu of a degree
• Python proficiency: You're a developer at heart and know your way around Python
• Cloud expertise: Deep, battle-tested experience with AWS and/or Azure
• Infrastructure as Code: Strong proficiency with Terraform or Ansible
• Sysadmin chops: A solid foundation in system administration and Linux
• Git workflows: Familiarity with GitLab for version control, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development
• An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph

Nice To Haves

• Experience with AI-assisted software development or engineering workflows
• Proficiency with agentic AI harnesses and frameworks for automating complex, multi-step infrastructure tasks
• Knowledge of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
• Experience with production CNO (Computer Network Operations) capabilities and operations
• Service containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes

Responsibilities

• Automate Everything: Write Python scripts and automation to connect disparate systems. If you have to do it twice, you automate it.
• Architect the Cloud: Design, build, and maintain robust infrastructure in AWS and/or Azure — ensuring our solutions are as scalable as they are secure.
• Treat Infrastructure as Code: Manage deployments and configuration via code. Clicking around a web console manually is not the move.
• Bridge Dev and Sec: Embed security into the pipeline from day one — keeping us compliant without grinding development to a halt.
• Elicit Requirements: Talk directly with end-users and developers to surface their true infrastructure needs — helping them build what they actually need, rather than what they think they want.

Benefits

• Top salaries because we're top performers
• Pick your PTO — Everyone values time and money differently, so we give you the flexibility to choose between 3 and 5 weeks of PTO with a corresponding adjustment to your pay. Your choice, your balance.
• All 11 federal holidays, paid!
• Up to 2 snow days, paid!
• We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now! 🚀
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem — we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
• $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments.
• Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn!". We hope to say that many times about you. 🔥
