Overview 

We're seeking a skilled and proactive Mid-Level DevSecOps Engineer to join our dynamic team supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this critical role, you’ll be instrumental in transforming CDC’s cloud landscape by embedding security and automation throughout the software development lifecycle. You’ll work with diverse teams to streamline processes, enhance security posture, and accelerate the delivery of cloud-native solutions across multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP). 

Responsibilities 

The Mid-Level DevSecOps Engineer will provide continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous security support within a secure, compliant, and agile environment. Specific duties will include, but not be limited to: 

  • CI/CD Pipeline Development & Maintenance: Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for cloud-native applications, leveraging tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions within Azure, AWS, and GCP. 
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and manage infrastructure using IaC principles and tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager), ensuring consistent, repeatable, and secure cloud environments. 
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Implement and manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (including managed services like Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) or EKS/GKE), optimizing for scalability, resilience, and security. 
  • Security Automation & Compliance: Integrate automated security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into CI/CD pipelines. Implement Policy-as-Code (PaC) frameworks to enforce security and compliance guardrails (e.g., NIST RMF, Zero Trust Architecture) across cloud resources. 
  • Cloud Operations & Monitoring: Support, maintain, and enhance cloud infrastructure and application deployments. Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using native CSP tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch, GCP Operations Suite) and centralized platforms (e.g., Splunk, Datadog). 
  • DevSecOps Culture & Mentorship: Actively contribute to maturing the DevSecOps culture within CDC teams, promoting best practices in automation, collaboration, and security-first development. Provide technical guidance to junior engineers. 
  • Vulnerability Management: Implement automated vulnerability scanning and remediation processes for cloud infrastructure, containers, and applications, ensuring timely patching and security posture improvements. 
  • Collaboration: Work closely with development, operations, and security teams to identify and resolve bottlenecks, improve workflows, and ensure seamless integration across the end-to-end App Dev pipeline. 

Requirements 

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or 4+ years of equivalent relevant work experience. 
  • 3-5 years of experience in a DevSecOps, DevOps, or SRE role, with a strong focus on CI/CD pipeline implementation and automation. 
  • Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP), with a strong understanding of its services and security best practices. 
  • Hands-on experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes. 
  • Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Go. 
  • Experience with version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. 
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies and project management tools (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, or Smartsheet). 
  • Understanding of federal cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., NIST RMF, Zero Trust Architecture) and compliance requirements. 
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. 
  • Self-starter with the ability to work autonomously and drive initiatives. 

Desired Experience/Qualifications 

  • Relevant cloud certifications (e.g., Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, GCP Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator). 
  • Experience with security tools such as SonarQube, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS), Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or similar. 
  • Experience with low-code/no-code platforms and their integration into automated pipelines. 
  • Familiarity with data management and governance principles in a cloud context.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
