Kforce's client, a leading engineering technology company in Orem, UT, is looking for a DevSecOps Engineer. This company designs and manufactures advanced electro‑mechanical systems for defense and aerospace applications. Their innovative products—from secure communication devices to autonomous platforms—help keep military personnel safe, connected, and informed. The DevSecOps Engineer will embed security into rapid development cycles and ensure the resilience of mission‑critical systems from design through deployment. This is a full onsite position.
Summary As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will be a key member of the engineering team, bridging development, security, and operations across cloud, software, hardware, and embedded systems. You will champion the concept of “security as code,” automating security controls and processes so products are secure by default—never as an afterthought. This position will lead efforts to achieve Authority to Operate (ATO) through DoD standards and play a critical role in securing systems from inception to delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Design and manage secure CI/CD pipelines
Integrate automated security testing and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for secure provisioning
Secure containerized applications and orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes)
Ensure compliance with defense standards: RMF, CMMC, NIST 800‑53/171
Implement security monitoring and incident response processes
Collaborate closely with engineering and software teams
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent work experience
Certifications: Security+, CISSP (preferred)
3‑5+ years in DevSecOps, DevOps, and Security Engineering
Cloud infrastructure (AWS or other providers), including EC2, Elastic IPs, backup/data retention automation
CI/CD tools (GitLab), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes)
Linux OS experience
Familiarity with IaC tools and security best practices
Compliance knowledge: NIST, POA&M, STIGs; DoD frameworks (PlatformOne), CMMC/NIST 800‑171
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
Applicants will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information
Ideal candidates may also come from other government agencies or federally regulated environments
Desired Skills
Imaging tools (Ghost, Fog)
Networking background (ZeroTier, Tailscale)
Familiarity with embedded systems
Scripting proficiency (Python, Bash) is a plus
Compensation The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
Benefits We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Legal Notice Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at its discretion consistent with the law.
Employment Terms This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
EEO Statement Kforce is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
