As a DevSecOps Engineer within Maximus TCS, you will serve as a critical bridge between development, security, and operations. This role exists to fortify our cloud and on-premise infrastructure against evolving threats while accelerating secure deployment pipelines. You will not only manage incident response and vulnerability remediation but also champion the automation of security frameworks, replacing manual processes with robust, script-driven solutions.
Your day-to-day involves a dynamic mix of strategic planning and hands-on engineering. You will design and implement automated security testing tools, conduct penetration tests, and perform deep-dive root cause analysis on network security issues. By maintaining comprehensive runbooks and managing access controls, you ensure operational resilience and compliance across complex environments. This position requires a proactive mindset to research emerging cloud reliability trends and translate them into actionable security improvements for USAF IT systems.
To apply, please submit your resume through the official career portal. Candidates selected for the next stage will undergo a multi-phase interview process designed to assess technical proficiency, cultural fit, and security clearance eligibility. This typically includes an initial screening, followed by technical deep-dives and scenario-based discussions regarding security architecture and automation strategies.
For candidates requiring assistance during any phase of the employment process due to a disability, medical condition, or impairment, please contact People Operations at applicantaccom@maximus.com for reasonable accommodations.
