About The Position

SAIC is seeking a DevSecOps Security Engineer to design, implement, and operate security capabilities in software delivery pipelines supporting the development, integration, testing, and deployment of mission applications. The engineer will collaborate with Cloud, DevSecOps, Software, Integration, Test, and Cyber teams to help Capability Providers identify vulnerabilities earlier, remediate findings, and deliver secure software more efficiently. The role includes building automated security checks, producing evidence for the Risk Management Framework (RMF), guiding developers through secure software delivery processes, and developing the program’s Secure Coding Guide. The position will also help lay the foundation for a certified CI/CD pipeline, automated compliance, and future continuous authorization capabilities. Security implementation supports classified, multi-classification, containerized, and cloud-based development environments.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and at least 9 years of related experience; or a master’s degree and at least 7 years; or a PhD and at least 4 years. Relevant experience may substitute for education.
TS/SCI clearance and U.S. citizenship.
DoD 8140-aligned cybersecurity certification, such as Security+, CASP+, CISSP, CCSP, or equivalent.
5 to 10 years of cybersecurity, application security, DevSecOps, software engineering, or related experience.
Hands-on experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, application security, security automation, or secure software delivery.
Experience with security tools such as Fortify, OWASP ZAP, Grype, Trivy, SonarQube, or comparable products.
Experience analyzing and supporting remediation of CWE, CVE, STIG, dependency, container, or application security findings.
Experience with Git-based workflows, CI/CD platforms, and automated pipeline controls.
Experience scripting with PowerShell, Python, Bash, or a similar language.

Nice To Haves

Experience with GitLab CI/CD, Gitea, container registries, artifact repositories, or pipeline runners.
Experience automating RMF, ATO, Continuous Monitoring, or compliance evidence.
Experience developing secure coding standards, secure software development guidance, or application security requirements.
Experience with SBOMs, SCA, image signing, artifact provenance, and software supply chain security.
Familiarity with Kubernetes, RKE2, containers, and cloud-native security.
Experience supporting classified cloud, multi-classification, MLS/MILS, or Cross Domain Solution environments.
Familiarity with Zero Trust, policy as code, continuous authorization, or certified CI/CD pipeline concepts.
Experience supporting DoD, Intelligence Community, command and control, or other mission systems.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain security capabilities within DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines.
Integrate automated SAST, DAST, container scanning, Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation.
Implement security gates to identify vulnerabilities and prevent unacceptable software artifacts from progressing through the delivery pipeline.
Automate the collection, organization, and delivery of security evidence supporting RMF, ATO, Continuous Monitoring, and future continuous authorization objectives.
Develop, maintain, and improve the program’s Secure Coding Guide, including required and prohibited practices, secure design patterns, and software security expectations.
Translate Secure Coding Guide requirements into pipeline controls, automated checks, developer workflows, and application onboarding criteria.
Support Capability Providers with application onboarding, security tool use, secure coding practices, and vulnerability remediation.
Review and help resolve CWE, CVE, STIG, dependency, container, and application security findings.
Validate software artifacts using integrity checks, image signing, provenance tracking, SBOM review, and other software supply chain security practices.
Document security controls, pipeline processes, evidence outputs, technical decisions, and developer guidance.
Assist with ISSO functions, including Continuous Monitoring, vulnerability management, security control assessments, remediation tracking, and maintenance of cybersecurity evidence supporting RMF and ATO activities.
Identify opportunities to reduce manual security activities, improve developer feedback, and accelerate secure capability delivery.
Partner with Cloud and DevSecOps engineers to implement secure-by-default pipelines, infrastructure, and platform services.
Support security implementation across classified, multi-classification, containerized, and cloud-based development environments.
