KBR's National Security Solutions team provides high-end engineering and advanced technology solutions to our customers in the intelligence and national security communities. In this position, your work will have a profound impact on the country's most critical role - protecting our national security.
KBR is seeking a motivated and experienced Senior DevSecOps Cybersecurity Engineer to join our team. The primary work location is remote. This role serves as a senior cybersecurity practitioner embedded within Agile and DevSecOps development teams responsible for delivering capabilities into government-owned production environments operating at IL5 and IL6.
