GDIT is seeking a DevSecOps Engineer Principal to design, automate, and secure infrastructure and deployment pipelines supporting mission-critical enterprise and AI workloads. This role blends hands-on automation development working directly with scripting, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD, with security compliance engineering across DevSecOps pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and Infrastructure as Code. You'll work alongside engineering, security, and platform teams to shift operations from manual and reactive to automated and proactive.

Develop Python, Bash, or other approved scripts to automate recurring infrastructure, application, and security operations activities
Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks supporting infrastructure and application administration
Use GitLab or other approved source control/CI-CD tools to maintain automation code, configuration, documentation, and version history
Identify manual processes that can be standardized, simplified, or automated
Develop automated system and application health checks and validation processes
Support integration among infrastructure platforms using APIs, scripts, structured data, and other approved interfaces

Architect and automate security workflows across CI/CD pipelines and compliance operations, reducing manual effort in vulnerability scan analysis, security inventory auditing, and continuous monitoring reporting
Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines using DevSecOps best practices, including automated vulnerability scans, secrets management, and compliance checks
Partner with development and platform teams to integrate, automate, and monitor security tool components (scan ingestion, finding triage, evidence generation) within automated pipelines
Build automation for compliance and audit-readiness artifacts, including continuous monitoring reports and control evidence mapping against NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP requirements
Perform automated inventory delta analysis and drift detection to maintain an accurate, auditable security posture

Design, implement, and maintain secure cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tooling (Ansible and Terraform) and GitLab CI/CD
Support deployment, management, and optimization of containerized/orchestrated workloads (e.g., Kubernetes/EKS) supporting enterprise and AI workloads
Support MLOps/AIOps platform automation for AI/ML model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management as needed

Work with network monitoring and Linux administrators to automate recurring operational activities
Troubleshoot data flows and integrations between monitoring, event management, infrastructure management, and IT service management technologies
Support application upgrades, maintenance, configuration changes, vulnerability remediation, and troubleshooting
Participate in root cause analysis involving multiple systems or technical interfaces
Maintain architecture documentation, interface documentation, automation repositories, operating procedures, and troubleshooting guides
Mentor junior/mid-level engineers and serve as a technical resource for the team
Participate in cross training, business hours operational support, and scheduled on-call support

BA/BS or equivalent experience
8+ years of professional experience in one or more of the following: systems administration, infrastructure engineering, infrastructure automation, DevOps/DevSecOps, systems integration, cloud engineering, or enterprise application support
At least 2 years of hands-on experience with Linux, scripting, automation, or systems integration in production enterprise environments
Demonstrated experience implementing DevSecOps practices, including container security, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation
Knowledge of NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, or comparable security compliance frameworks, and experience supporting internal/external audits

Active DoD Secret clearance at time of hire, and must maintain active clearance

Strong interest in solving operational problems through automation
Ability to understand relationships between applications, infrastructure, interfaces, and data flows
Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills
Ability to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly
