Your first assignment
Your first assignment will likely include helping build and operate the secure delivery pipelines that carry federal systems into production by:
- building and maintaining continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines that take services from commit to deployment the same way every time, including progressive delivery strategies (blue/green and canary deployments) with automated health checks and rollback;
- writing infrastructure-as-code on Amazon Web Services (AWS) so environments are created from templates, not by hand;
- containerizing services and keeping images patched, scanned, and small;
- wiring up the monitoring, logging, and vulnerability scanning that make systems observable and provably secure; or
- helping assemble the security evidence that carries a system through its Authority to Operate (ATO).
Adaptability and an appetite for learning new concepts, systems, and tools are what will move you forward fastest here.
The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.
What you'll build
- Pipelines a team relies on every day: builds, tests, and deployments that are routine rather than events.
- The security fabric around them, learned by doing: automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA), policy-as-code checks, monitoring and logging, and controls mapped to NIST SP 800-53.
- Working automation reviewed by people who explain what to change and why, and the findings you chase down along the way: the fastest ways to get good at this.
- Your part of the shift-left practice that builds security in rather than bolting it on, growing as you show you can carry more.
- AI-assisted engineering as standard practice: learning tools like Amazon Q Developer across the lifecycle.
- In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.
Who you are

What you bring
- A foundation in scripting, cloud fundamentals, and delivery automation, and a real appetite to go deeper on the security side.
- The delivery habits, or the willingness to build them fast: version control, automated testing, code review, and secure configuration.
- The communication to say clearly what you have done, what you are stuck on, and what you need.
- The precision to work where accuracy and auditability are not optional.
