AWS DevSecOps & Cloud Security EngineerThe Opportunity:
Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As an AWS DevSecOps engineer, you’re eager to develop, manage, and secure cloud-native applications and container platforms that support Air Force and Department of Defense missions. We need you to build the automation and security controls that enable reliable deployment of mission applications and AI-enabled capabilities in AWS GovCloud.
As a senior platform DevSecOps engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll serve as the team’s AWS DevSecOps and cloud security subject matter expert. You’ll work with software, AI and ML engineers, cybersecurity professionals, architects, and mission stakeholders to deploy and operate AI agents built with Booz Allen’s Agent Foundry, enterprise knowledge and retrieval applications, data analytics platforms, and computer vision capabilities.
You’ll design secure AWS architectures, develop Infrastructure as Code, and build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that integrate automated testing, security scanning, and policy enforcement. You’ll manage and harden containerized workloads, implement identity and access controls, network segmentation, encryption, and secrets management, and establish repeatable deployment processes across environments.
You’ll translate cybersecurity requirements into automated controls and support Risk Management Framework and Authority to Operate activities through technical implementation and evidence generation. You’ll implement logging, monitoring, and alerting; support vulnerability remediation and operational troubleshooting; and improve the reliability and security of cloud-hosted applications.
You’ll review architectures, evaluate cloud and container technologies, and mentor engineers on secure development and DevSecOps practices. Your work will help the team move mission capabilities from development into secure, resilient operation.
Work with us to use cloud platform technology for good.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
