Description

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Digital Defense

At Leidos, we’re more than a technology company—we’re a trusted partner pioneering the future of defense and intelligence. Our diverse teams of innovators unite around a common mission : empowering our customers to succeed in their most critical operations. Guided by integrity, committed to our communities, and driven to build a sustainable future, we deliver solutions that make a real impact.

Within our Digital Modernization sector, we’re leading the charge in next-generation technology—designing advanced capabilities in cyber defense, logistics optimization, security operations, and decision intelligence. These are the mission-critical systems that keep our nation secure and resilient.

We’re seeking a highly capable Senior DevSecOps Engineer to spearhead cloud initiatives for the United States Coast Guard at C5ISC in Alexandria, VA. In this hands-on role, you’ll architect and develop scalable cloud-native solutions using AWS, Azure, and Python, while ensuring best practices across architecture, development, deployment, and security. You’ll roll up your sleeves to design, code, debug, and mentor, driving innovation that directly supports critical Coast Guard operations and impacts national security.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain CI / CD pipelines for secure, automated software delivery.
  • Develop infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation.
  • Virtualization and Infrastructure Management :
  • Create, manage, and optimize virtual machines using Hypervisor technologies such as VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or KVM.
  • Configure and maintain virtualized environments to ensure performance, scalability, and security.
  • Support infrastructure modernization efforts by integrating virtualization solutions into hybrid cloud environments.
  • Security Integration :
  • Embed security best practices into the SDLC and CI / CD processes.
  • Implement automated security tools for vulnerability scanning, static / dynamic application security testing (SAST / DAST), and container security.
  • Collaborate with security teams to ensure compliance with organizational and industry security standards (e.g., NIST, DoD, ISO).
  • Cloud and Infrastructure Management :
  • Deploy and manage applications on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
  • Maintain high availability, scalability, and performance of cloud-based systems.
  • Configure and optimize container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
  • Monitoring and Incident Management :
  • Establish proactive monitoring solutions to ensure system reliability and availability.
  • Respond to and troubleshoot production incidents, performing root cause analysis and resolution.
  • Collaboration and Mentorship :
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, QA, and security professionals.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to continuous improvement of DevSecOps practices.

Basic Qualifications :

  • Requires BS and 8+ years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 6+ years of prior relevant experience, additional years of experience will be accepted in lieu of a degree.
  • Excellent customer service skills, with experience working in a customer-facing position for a minimum of 4 years.
  • Minimum 5+ year of Administration experience with cloud-based applications (MS O365, SharePoint, Azure AD, AWS)
  • Proficiency in programming / scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java, Bash, Go).
  • Experience with configuration management and orchestration tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Puppet).
  • Deep understanding of CI / CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
  • Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong knowledge of security principles, including threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and encryption techniques.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK Stack).
  • Solid understanding of networking, Linux / Unix systems, and version control systems (e.g., Git)
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks and Kafka is highly desirable
  • Clearance : This position requires candidates to obtain a Public Trust and will accept up to TS / SCI
  • Certifications

  • Candidate must, at a minimum, have one of these certifications :
  • Industry Professional certification Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)

  • Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA)
  • AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Certified AWS SysAdmin, AWS Certified Advanced Networking
  • AWS Certified Security
  • Azure Developer Associate
  • Azure Solutions Architect
  • If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.

    Original Posting : September 25, 2025

    For U.S. Positions : While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

    Pay Range : Pay Range $104,650.00 - $189,175.00

    The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
