About the Role

As a DevSecOps Engineer within Maximus Technology and Consulting Services, you will serve as a critical guardian of our security posture and operational resilience. This role exists to bridge the gap between development, security, and operations, ensuring that our infrastructure is not only robust but also compliant with stringent government standards. You will be at the forefront of implementing automated security frameworks, managing incident responses, and driving the adoption of best practices in cloud site reliability engineering.

From conducting penetration tests and security code reviews to maintaining runbooks that prevent recurring issues, your work ensures the continuous integrity of our systems.
