The work
DevSecOps Engineers make secure delivery repeatable. They design the CI/CD paths, deployment controls, and operational feedback loops that carry software from a change in source code to a running service. In federal environments, that work also includes assembling and maintaining security evidence for an Authority to Operate (ATO), the formal decision to allow a system to operate at an accepted level of risk.
The role works across development, operations, and security. DevSecOps Engineers automate build, test, deployment, configuration, vulnerability management, logging, and recovery practices so teams can release with visible controls and usable evidence. They partner with Cloud Infrastructure Engineers who provide the underlying platform, while they own the delivery path and its security integration.

Who you are
You treat security, reliability, and delivery speed as one engineering problem. You look for manual deployment steps, unreviewed configuration changes, and missing evidence because each makes a system harder to operate and defend.
You can work across specialties without blurring accountability. You understand enough application engineering, cloud infrastructure, and security practice to create a dependable delivery system, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and help teams use it.

What openings may require
Some openings may ask for experience supporting an ATO or working with the Risk Management Framework, a structured NIST process for managing security risk. Others may focus on a specific cloud, orchestration platform, programming language, or delivery toolchain.
Openings with production accountability may require demonstrated work with on-call operations, incident response, security assessments, or regulated release controls. Requirements should distinguish responsibility for the delivery pipeline from responsibility for the underlying cloud environment or independent security assessment.
Compensation, benefits, work location, and employment terms are set for each specific opening and will be stated with that opening
