Job Details
Job Description
Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions (SES) is seeking a highly skilled DevSecOps Architect to own and drive the architecture, tooling strategy, and automation roadmap used across all engineering teams. This is a senior individual contributor role - no people management, just pure technical influence.
We're looking for someone with broad technical reach and deep DevSecOps knowledge who can create and evolve our enterprise-wide toolchain. This includes evaluating and deploying commercial tools, integrating open-source capabilities, and building in-house solutions where gaps exist. You'll work closely with engineering teams, software architects, cyber, and IT to create an efficient, scalable, and secure development ecosystem.
Primary Responsibilities
Security & Information Assurance
- Define and enforce secure-by-default software engineering practices.
- Implement and integrate static and dynamic code analysis tools.
- Collaborate with cyber and product architects to harden platforms and toolchains.
DevSecOps Toolchain & Architecture
- Create and maintain a DevSecOps roadmap, from code to deployment.
- Identify, evaluate, and deploy COTS, open source, and custom tools.
- Design scalable CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.
- Drive container and orchestration adoption (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift).
- Create and maintain secure and reproducible development environments.
- Develop custom scripts/utilities (Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.) to automate manual processes.
Testing & Automation
- Ensure pipelines support automated build, test, scan, and deploy.
- Integrate security scanning, test frameworks, and compliance gates into DevSecOps flows.
- Enable and document test environments that reflect real-world deployment targets.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 10+ years of relevant software/devops/security engineering experience.
- Strong hands-on skills with:
Cloud Platforms: Azure (including Azure DevOps), AWS
CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps
Build Tools: CMake
Version Control: Git, GitLab
Atlassian Stack: Jira, Jira Service Management (JSM), Confluence
Operating Systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Windows 10/11/Server 2019 & 2022
Containers & Orchestration: Docker or Podman, Kubernetes or OpenShift
Virtualization: VirtualBox, KVM/libvirt
Networking: Strong understanding of network architecture
Identity & Access Management: SSSD, LDAP, Entra ID, IAM, GPO
Requirements Engineering: Strong understanding of requirements management
Programming/Scripting: Python, Bash, PowerShell, C++, C#, Java (minimum)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with any of the following is a strong plus:
Artifact Repositories: Nexus
AI & Dev Intelligence Tools: SourceGraph, HuggingFace, Ollama
Collaboration & Reporting: Discourse, Planview
Requirements Management: Jama or similar
Code Quality & Security: SonarQube, Dependency-Track
Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Cockpit, Portainer, Splunk
Vulnerability Management: Tenable.SC
Ideal Candidate
- Acts like a CTO for toolchains and DevSecOps infrastructure.
- Can navigate enterprise complexity without sacrificing agility.
- Doesn't wait for permission - prototypes, tests, and builds.
- Knows when to build vs buy, and documents everything like their life depends on it.
- Doesn't just automate processes - automates thinking.
- Is a strong communicator and a passionate evangelist for change, able to influence adoption of new tools and practices across engineering.
Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
