* * The Opportunity We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Engineer / Dev Sec Ops Specialist to join our Norfolk Va. team and design, build, and maintain secure cloud infrastructure supporting Department of Defense (DoD) mission-critical workloads. This role is central to our cloud engineering team and demands deep expertise in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Gov Cloud, Dev Sec Ops automation, container orchestration, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity frameworks.
The ideal candidate operates at the intersection of cloud architecture, security engineering, and continuous delivery-embedding security into every layer of the pipeline from code commit to production deployment. Responsibilities
* Design and manage production-grade AWS Gov Cloud environments supporting IL4/IL5 workloads in compliance with DoD CC SRG, including multi-account strategies, identity federation, and network segmentation using Transit Gateway, VPCs, and AWS core services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS/EKS, etc.).
* Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Cloud Formation, and Ansible to ensure repeatable, auditable, and version-controlled infrastructure deployments with automated compliance enforcement.
* Design and implement end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI/CD, or AWS Code Pipeline with integrated security gates, supporting complex multi-stage orchestration, parallel execution, and environment promotion strategies.
* Integrate shift-left security practices into build pipelines including SAST, DAST, SCA, container image scanning, and compliance-as-code tools (AWS Config Rules, OPA, Checkov) to enforce policy guardrails throughout the development lifecycle.
* Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters (Amazon EKS) in Gov Cloud environments, including Helm charts, service mesh configuration, pod security policies, and container runtime security monitoring to enforce zero-trust principles.
* Build and optimize secure Docker container images using multi-stage builds, distroless base images, non-root execution, and vulnerability-free dependencies while driving continuous optimization of infrastructure provisioning and deployment throughput.
* Ensure compliance with federal security frameworks including NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, DFARS , and CMMC 2.0 Level 2, supporting A&A activities and documentation (SSP, POA&M, SAR).
* Implement continuous monitoring and security solutions including SIEM integration, vulnerability scanning (Nessus, Tenable.sc), EDR tools, AWS Guard Duty, Security Hub, and STIG hardening across systems and applications.
* Manage software supply chain security including artifact repositories (Nexus, Artifactory, AWS ECR), SBOM generation, artifact signing, and source code repository workflows in Git Hub Enterprise/Git Lab.
* Create technical documentation and provide mentorship, including architecture diagrams, runbooks, disaster recovery plans, SOPs, and guidance on cloud security best practices, IaC development, and Dev Sec Ops tooling.
QUALIFICATIONS
* Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in cloud engineering, Dev Ops/Dev Sec Ops , or cloud security engineering roles.
* 3+ years of hands-on experience with AWS (strong preference for Gov Cloud/FedRAMP environments).
* Experience with DoD Business IT systems
* Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with security automation in Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI/CD, Jenkins, or AWS-native tools.
* Production experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, Helm).
* Proven experience implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Cloud Formation.
* Direct experience working with DoD cybersecurity requirements including NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, DFARS, and/or CMMC.
Certifications (Required)
* DoD 8140 (formerly 8570) IAT Level II or higher certification. Qualifying certifications include:
* CompTIA Security+ CE Certifications Desired
* CCNA Security
