Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineering Lead

Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineering Lead Full-Time W-2 | Fully Remote (U.S.) | Federal Civilian Practice The Problem We're Hiring You to Solve A 20-year-old federal platform sits behind a home loan benefit that millions of American families depend on. Your job is to help retire it without anyone noticing. You will own the DevSecOps and platform engineering ecosystem for a modernization program that runs legacy and modern stacks side by side: pipelines that move code from commit to production in under an hour, zero-downtime production deployments, environments built and torn down as code, and observability deep enough to explain a failure before the customer reports it. You will do this inside real federal security constraints, with real authority over how the engineering system works, and with AI as a first-class engineering tool. The Opportunity Most DevSecOps roles hand you an inherited pipeline and a backlog of tickets. This one hands you an engineering system to shape. The program spans multiple applications, technology stacks, and platforms: a legacy suite that must stay stable and secure until it is decommissioned, and a modern cloud platform (Salesforce-centered, supplemented by serverless capabilities in a government cloud) where new capability lands every month. Production runs 24/7 against contractual availability targets. Releases ship to production at least monthly. Critical vulnerabilities must close in 30 days. The monitoring bar is full business transac
