About the Role:
Our core values of People Matter, Integrity, and a Commitment to Excellence drive all that we do. By joining us, you will become a part of a fun and diverse team of talented and creative consultants who share the goal of using the latest technology to solve business challenges. We provide our clients with a dynamic mix of services and deliver focused solutions like no one else.
We are seeking talented and bright team players who are passionate about technology and want to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, and ego-free culture while applying a creative approach to problem-solving. Team members who like to grow their skill sets while solving challenging, real world business problems thrive.
We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud DevSecOps Engineer with a strong background in building, automating, securing, and operating cloud‑native environments on AWS and Azure. In this role, you will lead hands‑on, execution‑driven efforts focused on CI/CD automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud operations, and DevSecOps best practices to enable scalable, modern application delivery. You will provide expert technical guidance to engineering teams on secure cloud operations and industry best practices, supporting a consistent and mature DevSecOps approach across multiple solutions undergoing modernization.
This role combines hands‑on engineering with an educational and consultative focus, helping product teams identify improvement opportunities by adopting a DevSecOps mindset, standardized tools, and repeatable processes. Working closely with government stakeholders and cross‑functional technical and business teams, you will assess current DevSecOps maturity, identify gaps, and develop actionable roadmaps to address security, automation, and delivery efficiency needs. The position requires the ability to work within approved government technologies while remaining informed about newly authorized tools. This position is open to remote delivery anywhere within the United States, including the District of Columbia, and supports efforts to modernize and enhance Veterans Affairs applications through secure and resilient DevSecOps practices.
Key Responsibilities:
- Participate in requirements elaboration with architects, system owners, and development teams to define technical requirements, assess DevSecOps maturity, and provide expert guidance on secure cloud architecture and DevOps solutions.
- Design, build, and optimize multi‑cloud environments across PaaS and IaaS platforms, supporting development, testing, and production workloads in AWS and Azure in healthcare and government environments.
- Define, communicate, and implement cloud architecture, system administration standards, and operational processes in alignment with VA policies, federal compliance requirements, and industry best practices.
- Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) and configuration management solutions using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Packer, or equivalent technologies to standardize and automate cloud infrastructure provisioning.
- Demonstrate experience working with FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards to support interoperability requirements in healthcare‑related systems.
- Develop, maintain, and enhance CI/CD pipelines for development, test, and production workloads using platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, SonarQube, Selenium, Nexus, Bitbucket, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or AWS‑native services.
- Integrate automated security scanning, compliance checks, and DevSecOps controls into CI/CD workflows, embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle in alignment with organizational and federal security guidelines.
- Apply deep technical expertise and industry knowledge to design and support innovative solutions to complex cloud and DevOps challenges across VA programs and projects.
- Administer, monitor, and optimize Linux‑based environments, including troubleshooting system‑level issues related to performance, configuration, and security.
- Provide expert‑level technical guidance on containerization technologies (Docker), orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Amazon EKS), and cloud‑native application hosting and deployment patterns.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to implement and maintain cloud security controls, including IAM hardening, network segmentation, encryption, vulnerability remediation, patch management, and periodic vulnerability assessments.
- Partner closely with development teams to align cloud resources, CI/CD pipelines, and tooling with application architecture, operational requirements, and delivery timelines.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, cloud architecture diagrams, operational runbooks, and standard operating procedures to support reliability and knowledge sharing.
- Participate in root cause analysis efforts and contribute to continuous improvement of cloud operations, system resiliency, and incident response processes.
- Apply consulting skills and technical leadership to advise stakeholders, influence architectural decisions, and drive best practices across cloud and DevOps initiatives.
- Work independently with minimal supervision within established procedures, while serving as an informal technical lead or mentor to junior engineers.
- Communicate effectively with project stakeholders and government customers to assess technical requirements, provide status updates, define execution timelines, and actively participate in Agile ceremonies as part of a cross‑functional engineering team.
- Support end-to-end delivery workflows to ensure seamless operation of cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS/Azure services across the full application lifecycle.
