Maximus Technology and Consulting Services (TCS) is dedicated to delivering high-impact solutions for government and commercial clients. This role sits within a specialized team focused on securing critical infrastructure and ensuring the reliability of cloud-native environments. The team operates at the intersection of development, security, and operations, driving a culture where automation and proactive risk management are central to mission success.
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will serve as a guardian of our security posture while enabling rapid, reliable deployment pipelines. This position exists to bridge the gap between development agility and rigorous security compliance, ensuring that our systems remain resilient against evolving threats. You will not only manage incident response and vulnerability remediation but also architect the automated frameworks that prevent issues before they occur.
Your day-to-day involves a dynamic blend of strategic planning and hands-on engineering. You will design and implement automated security testing tools, conduct penetration tests, and perform code reviews to harden applications. Beyond technical execution, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to replace manual processes with robust scripting solutions, manage access controls, and maintain comprehensive runbooks that prevent recurring operational issues. This role requires a deep understanding of network security principles, cloud platforms, and the unique requirements of USAF IT systems.
Candidates selected for this opportunity will undergo a rigorous vetting process designed to assess both technical expertise and cultural fit. The journey typically includes an initial screening to verify qualifications and clearance status, followed by a technical deep-dive into your experience with DevSecOps practices, automation, and security frameworks. Final stages involve a team-fit interview and, where applicable, a review of your approach to complex security scenarios.
To apply, please submit your resume and relevant certifications through the official Maximus career portal. Ensure your profile highlights your experience with cloud security, automation tools, and your current clearance status. For candidates requiring reasonable accommodations during any phase of the employment process, including accessing job postings or participating in interviews, please contact People Operations at applicantaccom@maximus.com.
