DevSecOps Engineer

About the Role

As a DevSecOps Engineer within Maximus TCS, you will serve as a critical bridge between development, security, and operations. This role is designed to fortify our security posture while accelerating deployment pipelines through automation. You will operate in a high-stakes environment where maintaining the integrity of network infrastructure and application security is paramount.

Your day-to-day involves orchestrating incident response, managing vulnerability lifecycles, and conducting rigorous penetration testing. You will not only identify security gaps but also engineer the automated frameworks and scripts necessary to close them. From designing secure CI/CD pipelines to maintaining runbooks that prevent recurring operational issues, you will ensure that our security protocols evolve alongside our technology stack.

This position requires a deep understanding of cloud reliability engineering and the ability to troubleshoot complex network and security anomalies. You will be responsible for setting up and monitoring proxy servers, firewalls, and access controls, ensuring that our systems remain resilient against evolving threats while adhering to strict compliance standards.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for this role will undergo a rigorous vetting process commensurate with the sensitive nature of the work. This includes technical assessments focused on security operations, automation, and cloud infrastructure, followed by interviews with the hiring team to evaluate technical depth and cultural fit. Successful candidates must be prepared to discuss their experience with security frameworks, scripting, and incident management in detail.
