Prime Solutions Group (PSG), Inc. is seeking a DevSecOps / ML Ops Engineer to join our growing engineering team and support mission-critical programs for U.S. national defense. This role is ideal for mid-career engineers with strong foundational experience in secure software development, cloud infrastructure, and automation. You will play a key part in building full-stack CI/CD systems, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and security-first workflows that enhance speed, reliability, and resilience across the development lifecycle.

In this role, you will independently evaluate and adapt modern DevSecOps techniques, lead medium-scope technical efforts, and collaborate across engineering, cybersecurity, and operations teams. This is a fast-paced, challenging, and rewarding opportunity to deliver enterprise-scale solutions while contributing to work that directly supports national security.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain secure, scalable, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrate security tools and practices early in the software development lifecycle (DevSecOps-by-default).
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using IaC tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Implement SAST/DAST scanning, container security scanning, and dependency vulnerability management.
• Support containerized application development and manage Kubernetes-based deployments.
• Partner with development, QA, security, and infrastructure teams to deliver high-quality software rapidly and securely.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize build and deployment pipelines.
• Document system architectures, configurations, workflows, and processes.
• Recommend and implement continuous improvements across DevSecOps tooling and practices.
  
  

Requirements

• U.S. Citizenship (required)
• Active Top-Secret Clearance or higher (required)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or security automation roles.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).
• Experience working with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Familiarity with security automation tools (Snyk, SonarQube, Trivy, etc.).
• Proficiency with scripting in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills.
  
  

Preferred Skills / Experience

• Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), or equivalent.
• Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, ELK/Elastic, Grafana).
• Understanding of Zero Trust Architecture, SBOMs, or supply chain security.
• Exposure to compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, or DoD STIGs.
