This work aligns with the FAA's broader initiative to modernize legacy flight service capabilities, replacing aging infrastructure with scalable, cloud-based platforms designed to improve safety and operational efficiency-particularly in remote and high-dependency aviation environments. These efforts focus on delivering mission-critical, future-ready solutions that provide safety-critical flight services to the pilot community.\nPlease note, this exciting position is currently unfunded and is in anticipation of future work.\nIn this position, you will serve as a Senior DevSecOps Platform Engineer, providing technical leadership for the design, implementation, and continuous evolution of secure software delivery platforms supporting multiple Agile development teams. You will lead the development of enterprise CI/CD capabilities, establish engineering standards, and improve software delivery through automation, developer enablement, and secure software engineering practices.\nThis role is primarily responsible for the software delivery platform, GitLab administration, CI/CD architecture, deployment automation, and developer enablement. Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platform administration, and cloud operations are performed in close partnership with the Cloud Systems Owner team. Working closely with software engineers, Cloud Systems Owners, systems engineers, cybersecurity personnel, Product Owners, solution architects, and technical leadership, you will help ensure software is developed, validated, and deployed rapidly while meeting the operational, security, and compliance requirements of mission-critical FAA applications.\nThis position supports government programs and requires the ability to obtain and maintain a favorable Public Trust investigation.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nLead the engineering, administration, and continuous improvement of the GitLab platform, including projects, groups, runners, repositories, permissions, scalability, and operational health.\nEstablish enterprise CI/CD standards through reusable GitLab pipeline templates, shared libraries, automation frameworks, and deployment workflows that improve consistency, maintainability, and engineering productivity across Agile development teams.\nLead the implementation and continuous improvement of automated application security, software supply chain security, and compliance validation throughout the CI/CD lifecycle, including SAST, software composition analysis (SCA), container image scanning, secrets detection, and Infrastructure-as-Code scanning.\nDevelop and maintain standardized deployment patterns for Kubernetes applications utilizing GitOps methodologies, Helm, progressive deployment techniques, and automated deployment validation.\nAdminister GitLab Container Registry, package repositories, artifact repositories, and software dependency management platforms supporting secure software delivery.\nCollaborate with Cloud Systems Owners to ensure cloud platforms effectively support automated software deployment, operational scalability, application resiliency, and platform reliability.\nPartner with software development teams to improve build performance, deployment reliability, release quality, and developer productivity through automation and self-service engineering capabilities.\nPartner with cybersecurity teams to align DevSecOps capabilities with organizational security policies, Federal guidance, and continuous monitoring requirements.\nLead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex build failures, deployment issues, pipeline performance problems, dependency management challenges, and software delivery failures.\nReview and provide technical guidance on pipeline designs, deployment strategies, automation solutions, and engineering practices developed by other DevSecOps Platform Engineers to promote consistency, maintainability, and adherence to established standards.\nDefine and monitor software delivery performance metrics, including pipeline reliability, deployment success rates, build performance, and deployment frequency, identifying opportunities to improve engineering productivity and operational excellence.\nDevelop and maintain DevSecOps engineering standards, pipeline documentation, release management processes, operational guidance, and platform governance documentation.\nMentor DevSecOps Platform Engineers and provide technical leadership on software delivery automation, secure development practices, and GitLab platform administration.\nEvaluate emerging DevSecOps technologies, AI-assisted software engineering capabilities, software delivery methodologies, and automation techniques, recommending improvements that increase engineering productivity, security, and operational efficiency.\nParticipate in Agile ceremonies while providing technical leadership supporting multiple software development teams.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field with 8-12 years of relevant experience, or Master's degree with 6-10 years of experience.\nExtensive experience designing, implementing, and administering enterprise CI/CD platforms supporting large-scale software development.\nAdvanced experience developing and administering GitLab CI/CD pipelines, including GitLab Runners, reusable pipeline templates, variables, artifacts, deployment workflows, and pipeline optimization.\nExtensive experience administering GitLab repositories, merge requests, branching strategies, permissions, source code management, and platform governance.\nExtensive experience developing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or similar technologies.\nAdvanced experience deploying containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes) using Helm, GitOps methodologies, or comparable deployment tools.\nStrong experience developing automation using Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages.\nExperience administering Linux environments supporting CI/CD platforms and software development workflows.\nExperience supporting AWS cloud services and cloud-native application deployments.\nExtensive knowledge of software supply chain security, secrets management, dependency management, secure software development practices, and automated security testing.\nExperience integrating automated testing, quality gates, compliance validation, and security scanning into enterprise CI/CD pipelines.\nDemonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, mentor engineers, establish engineering standards, and improve software delivery practices.\nStrong troubleshooting, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to obtain an SF-85 Public Trust suitability determination.\nUS Citizenship.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience supporting FAA, DoD, or other Federal software development programs.\nExperience leading DevSecOps initiatives supporting large Agile or SAFe software development organizations.\nExperience implementing enterprise GitOps deployment methodologies using GitLab and Kubernetes.\nExperience with GitLab Ultimate Security, SonarQube, Checkmarx, Veracode, Snyk, Trivy, or similar security analysis platforms.\nExperience administering GitLab Container Registry, Nexus Repository Manager, Artifactory, or comparable artifact management platforms.\nExperience supporting cloud-native application development using Kubernetes and AWS.\nExperience implementing automated testing, deployment approvals, quality gates, compliance validation, and release governance within CI/CD pipelines.\nAWS, GitLab, Kubernetes, Terraform, or comparable industry certifications.\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
