DevSecOps Engineer - Contract

Truss is a software development consultancy that builds government technology. The DevSecOps Engineer will stand up, secure, and operate AWS infrastructure supporting AI capabilities on a large federal program, while also developing data pipelines and establishing infrastructure patterns for multiple application teams.

Responsibilities:

• Stand up, secure, and operate the AWS environment that powers AI capabilities on a large federal program, and will support the cloud infrastructure underneath that program's applications more broadly
• Data engineering for that platform: ingesting and preparing the documents and structured data that AI workflows depend on
• Partner with program engineers who bring deep domain and data knowledge, so this job is the infrastructure and the plumbing, with domain expertise available to you rather than expected of you
• Be the reference point for AI infrastructure on AWS, so you should be comfortable setting patterns other engineers will follow and supporting more than one application team at a time
• Perform and contribute at a high level
• Have excellent communication skills, a collaborative approach, and high emotional intelligence

Requirements:

• Experience supporting AI or machine learning models on AWS: provisioning, deploying, and operating AI services in production (e.g., Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker), including the data pipelines that feed them
• 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering
• Experience building and operating cloud-native applications on AWS
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipeline development
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (e.g., ECS, EKS)
• Experience with identity and access management, secrets management, and cloud security best practices
• Strong Python skills and working SQL, with hands-on experience building data pipelines (e.g., S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions)
• Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and observability solutions
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
