DevSecOps Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Custom Software Systems, Inc. (CSS) is seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to support our clients' enterprise cybersecurity engineering program. You'll own the secure CI/CD lifecycle and the integration work that wires their cybersecurity tooling into a working, automated pipeline — building the automation, workflow libraries, and telemetry standards that let security scale without adding manual effort. This is hands-on engineering with enterprise scope and a heavy automation-and-integration focus.

Responsibilities

· Engineer secure CI/CD pipelines with security gates enforced in the pipeline, and integrate disparate security tooling (SIEM, scanners, ticketing) into automated, orchestrated workflows.

· Build and maintain the automation backbone: a version-controlled workflow/SOAR library, engineering runbooks and playbooks, and data-normalization and labeling standards across tools that don't natively agree.

· Harden and manage enterprise baseline configurations using infrastructure-as-code and configuration management at scale, with change control that survives an audit.

· Produce the recurring engineering deliverables this role owns — integration and schema documentation, monthly tool-optimization reporting, and audit-remediation and requirements-traceability artifacts.

· Support continuous security validation, vulnerability management, and incident response across cloud-native and hybrid environments.

Citizenship

· US Citizenship

Required Qualifications

· Minimum of ten (10) years of DevSecOps experience

· At least five (5) of those ten (10) years in cybersecurity and cloud security at a large government agency comparable in size and scope to VA, DoD, IRS, or GSA.

· Secure CI/CD pipeline engineering with in-pipeline security gates; integrating SIEM/scanners/ticketing into automated workflows; infrastructure-as-code and configuration management at scale; and data- normalization/schema work across disagreeing tools.

· U.S.-based; able to obtain and maintain the VA Tier 4 / High Risk Public Trust and PIV.

 

Certifications

· One current certification: IAT III, IAM III, or IASAE III ( CISSP preferred)

Preferred Qualifications

· Federal DevSecOps experience.

· Container and Kubernetes security.

· Experience retiring redundant tooling,
