Maximus Technology and Consulting Services (TCS) delivers critical solutions to government and commercial clients, focusing on secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure. This role sits within a specialized team dedicated to advancing DevSecOps practices, ensuring that security is embedded into every stage of the development and operations lifecycle.
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will serve as a bridge between development, security, and operations, driving the automation of security frameworks and deployment processes. Your mission is to enhance the organization's security posture by replacing manual tasks with robust, scripted solutions while maintaining compliance with strict federal standards.

By staying ahead of technology trends in cloud site reliability engineering, you will ensure that the organization's infrastructure remains secure, efficient, and aligned with the latest best practices.
Candidates selected for this role will undergo a rigorous vetting process, including a review of technical qualifications and a security clearance verification. The interview process typically involves technical assessments focused on automation, security protocols, and cloud infrastructure, followed by team fit discussions.
