Maximus Technology and Consulting Services (TCS) delivers critical solutions to government and commercial clients, focusing on secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure. This role sits within a specialized team dedicated to maintaining the integrity of high-security environments, ensuring that DevSecOps practices align with rigorous federal standards and operational resilience.
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will serve as a pivotal link between development, security, and operations. Your mission is to fortify the organization's security posture by implementing automated testing frameworks, managing vulnerability lifecycles, and orchestrating secure deployment pipelines. You will not only troubleshoot complex network and security issues but also proactively design solutions that replace manual processes with robust automation.
In this position, you will conduct penetration testing and security code reviews while managing the full spectrum of incident response and compliance efforts. You will be responsible for maintaining the security of proxy servers, firewalls, and access controls, ensuring that the infrastructure remains resilient against evolving threats. By leveraging scripting languages and open-source solutions, you will drive the adoption of a strong automated security framework, enabling the team to deploy tools and processes that are both efficient and secure.
Candidates selected for this role will undergo a comprehensive evaluation process designed to assess technical expertise, security clearance eligibility, and cultural fit. The process typically includes an initial screening, followed by technical assessments and in-depth interviews with team members and leadership. Given the sensitive nature of the work, a thorough background investigation is required to verify eligibility for Top Secret with SCI clearance.
