Bluestaq is seeking a Principal DevSecOps Engineer to lead the evolution of our delivery platforms across mission-critical environments. This individual contributor role is focused on platform ownership, architecture, and cross-team enablement, shaping how software moves from development to production across programs, environments, and customers. You will define and mature the standards, automation, and platform capabilities that enable teams to ship secure, reliable software at speed while meeting compliance and operational requirements.
Job Responsibility:
Serve as the technical owner for DevSecOps platforms across a major product ecosystem, mission area, or environment set
Define and evolve reference architectures for CI/CD, Kubernetes, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, monitoring, and incident response
Drive platform design decisions balancing speed, cost, reliability, and security in mission and production environments
Establish reusable platform patterns, standards, and “golden paths” that enable consistent adoption across teams
Lead multi-quarter DevSecOps initiatives such as pipeline modernization, Kubernetes platform standardization, GitOps adoption, and environment strategy evolution
Reduce manual deployment and operational toil through automation and shared platform capabilities
Ensure delivery workflows scale across environments, programs, and teams without introducing fragility
Embed security controls, policy enforcement, and compliance automation directly into delivery pipelines and platform tooling
Partner with cybersecurity and compliance stakeholders to support ATO/C-ATO and other regulated delivery environments
Define secure baselines for containerization, infrastructure, identity, and platform operations
Partner with Engineering Managers, Architects, Cyber, Systems, IT, and Program teams to align platform capabilities with mission needs
Shape standards for how teams build, deploy, and operate software across environments
Coach and mentor Staff and Senior DevSecOps engineers
elevate engineering practices across teams
Act as a trusted technical authority for complex DevSecOps and platform decisions
Drive improvements in platform resilience, observability, and incident response
Lead root-cause analysis and systemic improvements following platform failures
Ensure delivery platforms are secure, debuggable, and production-ready—not just functional
Requirements:
Deep experience designing and operating cloud-native delivery platforms at scale
Demonstrated ownership of DevSecOps architecture across multiple teams, services, or environments
Advanced expertise in Kubernetes platform design and containerized workloads
Strong experience with CI/CD pipeline architecture, automation, and delivery workflows
Experience implementing infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent) in production environments
Proven ability to embed security, policy enforcement, and compliance requirements into automated delivery pipelines
Experience operating in regulated, mission-critical, or high-security environments
Demonstrated ability to lead large technical initiatives without formal authority
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across engineering, cyber, infrastructure, and program teams
Excellent communication skills
High School Diploma/GED and 16+ years of relevant experience, OR Associate degree and 14+ years, OR Bachelor’s degree and 12+ years, OR Master’s degree and 10+ years, OR PhD and 8+ years

Nice to have:
Experience designing and operating multi-tenant, multi-environment, or hybrid cloud platforms
Experience supporting DoD, FedRAMP, or other compliance-driven delivery environments
Background implementing GitOps workflows and environment management strategies
Experience defining platform standards adopted across multiple teams or programs
Expertise in observability systems, incident response models, and SLO-driven operations
Experience mentoring and developing DevSecOps engineers at Senior or Staff levels
Familiarity with secrets management, policy-as-code, and secure supply chain practices
Exposure to large-scale modernization, platform migrations, or enterprise DevSecOps transformations
