About the Opportunity
DMI is seeking a mid-level DevSecOps Engineer to augment an existing engineering team supporting a federal agency client's hybrid cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will extend and mature established infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipeline capabilities, container orchestration, and security-hardened delivery practices within an active production environment — building on existing patterns rather than designing from scratch.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Maintain, extend, and improve Terraform and OpenTofu codebases for provisioning and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure; manage state files and remote backends within approved change control processes
- Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles to automate system configuration, compliance enforcement, patch management, and application deployment
- Build, maintain, and improve GitHub Actions workflows incorporating security gates, including SAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection, and policy-as-code validation
- Support containerized application delivery using Docker for image builds and Kubernetes for orchestration; manage Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and RBAC configuration
- Integrate security practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle, enforcing CIS benchmarks and supporting NIST SP 800-53 and FISMA compliance requirements
- Participate in stand-ups, sprint planning, and peer code reviews; maintain clear records of all changes to shared codebases and pipelines
Qualifications
Education and Years of Experience:
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology or a related field preferred
- Formal education requirements may be waived based on 4 years of relevant professional experience
- Hands-on experience with Terraform and/or OpenTofu, including module development, remote state management, and workspace management
- Proficiency with Ansible, including playbook and role development, dynamic inventories, and Ansible Vault for secrets management
- Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining GitHub Actions workflows, including reusable workflows and security gate integration
- Working knowledge of Docker image authoring and hardening, Kubernetes manifest and Helm chart management, and container security scanning
- Familiarity with SAST tools (Semgrep, Checkov, tfsec), secrets scanning (Gitleaks, Detect-Secrets), and policy-as-code frameworks (OPA/Rego)
- Proficiency with Git-based workflows, including branching strategies, pull request reviews, and protected branch enforcement
Required Skills & Certifications:
- Experience in a federal or highly regulated environment
- Familiarity with NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP compliance requirements
- Cloud platform experience (AWS)
- Experience with secrets management tools such as HashiCorp Vault
- Scripting proficiency in Python and Bash
Background Requirements: Must possess or be eligible to obtain and complete a Public Trust background investigation and/or a Public Trust clearance.
