DevSecOps Engineer

Zaden Technologies is hiring a DevSecOps Engineer to containerize legacy mission applications and build the secure delivery pipeline that moves them into a government on-prem virtualized cloud environment. Automation is the point of this role: automated builds, automated tests, and automated security evidence, so the team spends its time on mission features instead of chasing bugs. This is a full-time, on-site position in Aurora, CO, with an anticipated start of April 2027.

Role Responsibilities:

• Containerize legacy applications and stand up hardened container baselines and registries
• Build and operate CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI or similar) with automated test, scan, and artifact-generation gates
• Deploy and troubleshoot workloads in on-prem virtualized environments (vSphere-class private cloud, Kubernetes)
• Generate pipeline security evidence (SBOMs, scan outputs) in partnership with the cybersecurity engineer
• Identify repeatable manual steps and automate them

Required Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI clearance, or current TS/SCI eligibility, and U.S. citizenship
• 5+ years of DevOps/DevSecOps experience on software programs, including containerization of existing (not greenfield) applications
• Hands-on experience with Docker/OCI containers, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline construction
• Linux administration and scripting (Python or Bash)
• Experience deploying to on-prem or air-gapped environments, not just commercial cloud

Preferred Qualifications:

• DoD software factory experience and continuous-ATO exposure
• VMware/vSphere administration and infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Ansible)
• DoD 8140/8570 baseline certification (e.g., Security+ CE)

What we offer:

• Robust startup environment with a variety of projects to work on
• Growth paths and endless opportunities to learn and develop
• Paid holidays and flexible paid time off
• Employer contributions toward 401k
• 50% coverage of health insurance for employees and their dependents
