About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

This is a rare opportunity to build a production deployment pipeline for mission-critical DoD software from the ground up.
As the DevSecOps Project Lead, you will own the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle—from code intake through secure, scalable production deployment.
You will design and operate the DevSecOps pipeline, define the hosting architecture, and integrate security and compliance directly into delivery.
This role spans both modern commercial DevOps practices and the realities of DoD deployment (IL-5 today with a path to IL-6), requiring you to make critical decisions across government networks, cloud environments, and hybrid architectures.
This is a senior role combining hands-on execution with system-level ownership. You will build key components directly while guiding the transition from an existing government-furnished environment to a scalable, long-term production system.

Requirements

8+ years of DevOps/DevSecOps engineering experience, including at least one production pipeline owned end-to-end at scale
5+ years experience operating in DoD cloud environments (Azure Gov IL-5, AWS GovCloud, or equivalent IL-5 authorized environment). Working knowledge of DoD impact-level boundaries and the CC SRG.
Hands-on experience managing at least one complete ATO or cATO pathway in production.
US Citizenship Required
Active Secret Clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
Willingness to travel up to 25% to USMC sites, Defcon AI HQ, and industry vendor facilities as required
