About the Role

This position within Maximus TCS (Technology and Consulting Services) serves as a critical nexus for Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps). The role is designed to fortify network infrastructure and security operational processes through advanced automation and rigorous compliance efforts. You will be responsible for managing incident response, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing while ensuring the integrity of deployment tools and processes.

The day-to-day involves designing and implementing solutions for network or security operational issues, conducting root cause analysis using monitoring tools, and maintaining operations runbooks to prevent recurring incidents. You will set up and monitor proxy servers, systems, and firewalls, while also managing end-user and administration access controls. A key part of the mission is to research technology trends in cloud site reliability engineering and recommend automation improvements to replace manual tasks, leveraging scripting languages and open-source solutions to enhance security frameworks.

Hiring Process

Candidates requiring assistance during any phase of the employment process, including accessing job postings, completing assessments, or participating in interviews, due to a disability, medical condition, or physical or mental impairment, should contact People Operations at applicantaccom@maximus.com for reasonable accommodations.

Compensation & Benefits

Maximus compensation is based on various factors including job location, a candidate's education, training, experience, expected quality and quantity of work, required travel, external market and internal value analysis, seniority, and merit systems. Annual salary is just one component of Maximus's total compensation package. Other rewards may include short- and long-term incentives as well as program-specific awards. Additionally, Maximus provides a variety of benefits to employees, including health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, a retirement savings plan, paid holidays, and paid time off.
