Job Description Summary:

The Senior DevSecOps Software Engineer (SMTS) drives secure, scalable software delivery across mission-oriented programs—autonomous systems, unmanned vehicles, medical applications, and battlefield situational awareness platforms. In a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment, you will partner with customers, program leadership, and cross-functional teams to translate complex requirements into field-ready capabilities. You own the DevSecOps lifecycle: architecting GitLab CI/CD pipelines, orchestrating Kubernetes workloads with Helm and Helmfile, hardening container runtimes (Docker/Podman), and enforcing policy-as-code through rigorous YAML-driven configurations. Security+ certification is desirable; a zero-trust, shift-left mindset is essential. Full-stack fluency in Node.js, TypeScript, and React enables you to bridge platform and application layers, optimize build pipelines, and mentor teams on secure coding practices. You will lead sub-system architecture decisions, mitigate technical risk, and deliver resilient systems from design through deployment—thriving amid ambiguity and competing priorities in an Agile, multi-disciplinary setting.
