Senior DevSecOps Engineers
About The Position
The Senior DevSecOps Engineer will work as part of the PACER Development team responsible for developing, operating, and supporting internal and external systems that allow for secure public access to court electronic records for the Judiciary. This role involves developing, maintaining, and supporting products such as PACER account registration and management, PACER authentication, PACER billing, and the PACER Case Locator, as well as internal systems like the PACER Account Maintenance System, PSC Help Desk Support application, and Court PACER access reports. The engineer will ensure continued compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) and other security standards through secure development practices, and will conduct requirements gathering, design, analysis, development, testing, deployment, support, and maintenance across the software development lifecycle. The position requires developing enterprise-class software systems using C, Java, JSF, PrimeFaces, JavaScript, CSS, and/or Linux shell, and developing secure web services utilizing standards such as SOAP, REST, WSDL, XSD, XML, and/or JSON. The role also involves independently and collaboratively designing and creating efficient, scalable, and resilient software solutions, creating and documenting use cases, test cases, and system validation results, and participating in an Agile work environment. Additionally, the engineer will review and validate functional requirements, system descriptions, and design artifacts, prepare complete documentation packages, review project-related documentation and modification requests, and provide impact/feasibility analysis. Defining, documenting, and maintaining system and software architectures, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and supporting integration across internal and external systems is also a key responsibility. The role includes implementing secure engineering practices, vulnerability remediation, and compliance activities such as ATO, PCI, and FISMA, conducting performance analysis, capacity planning, and system tuning, and designing and testing continuity of operations (COOP) and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. Managing software configurations, version control, and source code repositories, participating in the change control process, and providing knowledge transfer, training, and documentation for Technical Points of Contact are also part of the role. Finally, the engineer will evaluate and recommend emerging technologies, frameworks, and tools to improve efficiency, reduce technical debt, and sustain system viability.
