DevSecOps Engineer

The DevSecOps Engineer is responsible for bridging the gap between development and operations teams, ensuring efficient deployment, monitoring, and scaling of our enterprise-level application. This role involves setting up and maintaining the infrastructure, CI / CD pipelines, and automation processes while ensuring compliance with government security standards. Given the project's government contract nature, the candidate must possess or be able to obtain the necessary government clearance.

• The DevSecOps Engineer will follow a structured process to manage the infrastructure and deployment pipelines, ensuring security, reliability, and scalability.
• Requirement Gathering : Collaborate with development teams to understand infrastructure needs.
• Architecture Planning : Design scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure using cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, or on-premises solutions as required by the contract).
• Resource Provisioning : Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation to provision resources.
• Tool Selection : Choose appropriate CI / CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI / CD) that comply with government regulations.
• Pipeline Configuration : Set up automated build, test, and deployment pipelines.
• Security Integration : Incorporate security scanning tools into the CI / CD process (e.g., Snyk, SonarQube).
• Automation : Use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef to automate configuration management tasks.
• Version Control : Keep all configurations in version control systems (e.g., Git) for auditability and rollback capabilities.
• Dockerization : Containerize applications using Docker to ensure consistency across environments.
• Orchestration : Use Kubernetes or Docker Swarm for container orchestration, ensuring high availability and scalability.
• Monitoring Setup : Implement monitoring solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track system performance and availability.
• Logging Infrastructure : Set up centralized logging using ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) or Graylog.
• Alerting Mechanisms : Configure alerts for critical system events or security incidents.
• Access Management : Implement strict access controls using IAM roles and permissions.
• Data Encryption : Ensure all data in transit and at rest is encrypted following government standards.
• Compliance Auditing : Regularly audit systems for compliance with government security policies (e.g., FISMA, NIST).
• HAProxy Configuration : Set up HAProxy for load balancing to distribute traffic efficiently.
• Redundancy Planning : Design systems with failover capabilities to maintain uptime.
• Backup Strategies : Implement regular backups for critical systems and data.
• Disaster Recovery Planning : Develop and test disaster recovery procedures to ensure business continuity.
• Resource Utilization : Monitor and optimize resource usage to reduce costs and improve performance.
• Scaling Solutions : Implement auto-scaling policies to handle variable workloads.
• Team Coordination : Work closely with developers, QA, and other stakeholders.
• Documentation : Maintain detailed documentation of configurations, procedures, and compliance records.
