Description

Overview Edgewater Federal Solutions is seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to support a hybrid cloud infrastructure environment backed by established DevSecOps practices, security baselines, and federal compliance frameworks. The engineer will augment existing engineering staff and expand upon established infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipeline capabilities, container orchestration, and security-hardened delivery practices. The objective is to extend and mature existing infrastructure automation and secure software delivery capabilities. The engineer will not be expected to design from scratch; rather, the engineer will inherit existing patterns, adhere to engineering standards, and incrementally enhance capabilities within an active production environment. Responsibilities Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu): Maintain and enhance existing Terraform and OpenTofu environments, develop reusable infrastructure modules, manage state files and remote backends, execute infrastructure deployments through approved change control processes, and refactor legacy infrastructure code to current standards. Configuration as Code (Ansible): Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles, automate server configuration and application deployment, support patch management and compliance enforcement, and maintain inventory and configuration documentation. CI/CD Engineering (GitHub Actions): Develop and maintain GitHub Actions workflows, automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment processes, implement SAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection, and policy-as-code controls, and support code review and release management processes. Containerization & Kubernetes: Develop and maintain Dockerfiles, support Kubernetes deployments and orchestration, manage manifests, Helm charts, namespaces, and RBAC configurations, perform container vulnerability scanning and remediation, and support cluster monitoring and troubleshooting. Security Integration & Compliance: Integrate security controls throughout CI/CD pipelines, support vulnerability management and remediation efforts, assist with compliance, audit, and security assessment activities, and maintain technical documentation and operational runbooks.
