1759 - DevSecOps Engineer

About the role

Sigma Defense is seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to join our team in Rome, NY. The successful candidate will be a technically curious problem solver who enjoys automation and learning new systems. This person may not be the team's deepest expert in Kubernetes, Azure networking, Linux, Python, or software development. Instead, they should understand enough across these areas to follow a problem through the entire release process, collaborate effectively with specialists, and determine where an issue needs to be solved. The ideal candidate can look at a failed deployment and move comfortably between GitLab CI, source code, Linux, Infrastructure as Code, Microsoft Azure infrastructure, networking, and application configuration until they understand what happened.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI
• Build reusable pipeline functionality using GitLab Components and standardized CI/CD patterns
• Support automated build, test, integration, security-validation, packaging, and deployment processes
• Develop release automation that enables reliable and repeatable delivery across multiple environments
• Implement and maintain GitOps-based deployment and configuration-management workflows
• Work with development and infrastructure teams to integrate software, infrastructure, configuration, and security requirements into automated release processes
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Bicep and/or Terraform
• Deploy and configure infrastructure within Microsoft Azure through automated pipelines
• Work with Azure networking, compute, storage, identity, and virtualization technologies supporting deployments
• Troubleshoot deployment issues spanning pipelines, applications, Linux systems, Azure infrastructure, networking, and virtualization
• Develop scripts, utilities, and automation to improve release and deployment processes
• Support modular development approaches that enable reusable infrastructure, pipeline, and application components
• Integrate automated testing, security scanning, compliance validation, and other quality gates into CI/CD pipelines
• Work within Git-based development workflows including branching, merge requests, code reviews, versioning, and release management
• Support deployment and operation of workloads within Linux-based environments
• Assist with containerized deployment processes using Docker and Kubernetes where applicable
• Identify manual release and deployment processes that can be replaced with automated, repeatable workflows

Requirements

• 4+ years of relevant experience
• Professional experience in DevSecOps, DevOps, software development, infrastructure automation, release engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Strong experience with GitLab CI, including pipeline development, jobs, stages, variables, artifacts, dependencies, rules, and reusable pipeline patterns
