ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Principal DevSecOps Engineer to lead the design and implementation of secure development and deployment practices across our software and systems stack. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will own the DevOps space and our stack for managing the CI/CD pipeline and help define DevSecOps strategy working with our VP of Cybersecurity, build secure pipelines, and ensure compliance with defense and commercial security standards—all while enabling rapid innovation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategic Leadership & Architecture: Define the overarching DevSecOps vision across both software and hardware-in-the-loop environments, acting as a technical mentor to foster a security-first culture across QA, software, and firmware teams
CI/CD Transformation: Architect highly available pipelines that integrate complex automated testing frameworks (Python, Playwright, Selenium), and spearhead the strategic migration of our legacy on-prem infrastructure (Jenkins) to a modern cloud platform (GitLab)
Enterprise "Shift-Left" Security: Design and seamlessly integrate automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA, fuzzing) into development workflows, proactively orchestrating vulnerability remediation, IAM, and secrets management
Secure Infrastructure & Compliance: Establish enterprise standards for Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and secure supply chains (artifact signing, SBOMs), ensuring environments comply with rigorous frameworks like NIST 800-171 and CMMC
Manage the CI/CD Pipeline & Infrastructure: Own the infrastructure supporting all software development, test structures, and version control of software objects

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

Experience & Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related field with 10+ years of progressive DevOps/Security experience, including at least 3 years operating autonomously in a Principal, Staff, or Lead architectural role
Infrastructure & Migration: Proven track record of leading large-scale architectural migrations (specifically from on-prem CI/CD to cloud-native platforms like GitLab), alongside proficiency with cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and Kubernetes/Docker
Automation & Systems Thinking: Deep scripting expertise (Python, Go, or Bash) to support test automation frameworks, with a demonstrated ability to span both high-level software infrastructure and low-level embedded systems
Security Master: Comprehensive understanding of application, infrastructure, and embedded security (OWASP Top 10), with hands-on experience deploying advanced security tools at an enterprise scale
Strategic Communication: Exceptional ability to distill and translate complex architectural trade-offs to both highly technical engineers and executive leadership in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
