About The Position

The DevSecOps Engineer will maintain on-demand ephemeral test automation environments supporting U.S. Air Force and related defense missions. The role enables automated test and development pipelines across virtualization and cloud platforms, using rapid prototyping and strong DevSecOps practices in highly regulated environments. The focus is on building test automation environments, ephemeral compute stacks, reusable CI/CD components, and custom workflows to accelerate mission software development and validation, rather than traditional enterprise cloud application engineering.

Requirements

• Four years of recent system/software engineering experience with a strong understanding of software architectures.
• Five or more years of experience in DevOps, Systems Engineering, or Infrastructure Automation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to prototype solutions quickly and develop them into modular, reusable systems.
• Experience with ephemeral environments, automated range deployments, or test infrastructure.
• Excellent communication skills for gathering requirements and interfacing with developer teams.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and secure coding practices.
• Hands-on experience with GitOps and CI/CD tools such as GitLabCI and Jenkins.
• Hands-on experience with IaC tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Hands-on experience with Packer or equivalent image-building tools for Linux and Windows automation.
• Hands-on experience with virtualization platforms including Libvirt, QEMU, AWS, and Azure.
• Hands-on scripting experience with Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with DoD, Air Force, and national-level cyber policies, procedures, and security protocols for handling classified materials.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
• Knowledge of file forensics, data transformation, and test data management in automation contexts.
• Experience in defense or classified environments, including adherence to RMF/ATO and related compliance standards.
• Knowledge of emerging technologies, including Large Language Models, Machine Learning, and Research and Development to support rapid development and prototyping.
• B.S. in a technical field of study or equivalent years of experience.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and manage GitOps CI/CD workflows using GitLabCI and reusable pipeline components.
• Develop Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform, Ansible, and Packer or similar image-building tools for Linux and Windows platforms.
• Build and maintain ephemeral test environments on AWS, Azure, and local Linux virtualization stacks using Libvirt and QEMU.
• Develop and maintain Python, Bash, and PowerShell scripts for test automation, prototyping, and system integration.
• Rapidly prototype MVP solutions for evolving mission requirements and refine disposable code into reusable, production-ready modules.
• Deploy and configure temporary or experimental compute stacks in non-production test environments, including some networking setup and configuration.
• Support file analysis and handling of novel file types for test automation, forensic evaluation, and data fixture management.
• Collaborate with system and software developers to gather requirements and deliver tailored automation solutions.
• Apply Agile development practices and adhere to SecOps and code hygiene standards.
• Operate safely across networks of varying classifications, following mandatory data transfer processes and security guidelines.
