About The Position
We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to design and operationalize secure, automated delivery pipelines within AWS GovCloud environments. This role is for a hands-on engineer who excels at integrating security into every layer of CI/CD while driving reliability, scalability, and speed. You will architect GitLab-based DevSecOps pipelines, strengthen container security posture, and enable high-velocity application delivery without compromising compliance or governance. If you thrive in high-security environments where automation, cloud infrastructure, and security engineering intersect — this role is built for you.
