ECS is seeking a Cloud DevSecOps Engineer to work remotely.

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevSecOps Engineer with extensive experience in cloud-native infrastructure engineering, Kubernetes container orchestration, and enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM). Tools necessary for excelling in this role include Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Keycloak Identity Broker, Okta SSO/OIDC, Terraform/IaC, CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins), and security scanning tooling (Trivy). This role will serve as the infrastructure and security authority within a lean, agile modernization team rebuilding an enterprise Microsoft Power Apps system into a cloud-native platform. You will play a critical role in provisioning and securing Kubernetes cluster environments, engineering automated build and deployment pipelines, deploying and managing high-availability Keycloak identity broker services federated to enterprise Okta, and safeguarding all infrastructure, database, and storage assets across non-production and production environments.

About the Job

  • Architect, provision, configure, and maintain production-grade Kubernetes cluster environments hosting containerized front-end, backend, and identity services.
  • Deploy, configure, and administer a highly available Keycloak Identity Broker instance running in Kubernetes, federating authentication to enterprise Okta via SAML 2.0 and OIDC.
  • Configure identity brokering rules, realm roles, client scopes, and token exchange policies within Keycloak to power secure authentication for React and Spring Boot services.
  • Design, build, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for automated image builds, vulnerability scanning, automated testing gates, and zero-downtime rolling deployments via Helm.
  • Implement robust platform security controls, including Kubernetes Ingress controllers (NGINX/Traefik), TLS certificate automation (cert-manager), network policies, and container image scanning (Trivy).
  • Automate secrets management and configuration injection across environments using tools such as HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Kubernetes External Secrets Operator.
  • Provision, monitor, and maintain supporting backing infrastructure including managed PostgreSQL instances and secure Amazon S3 storage buckets.
  • Establish centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki or EFK stack) to ensure high system observability and reliability.

Salary Range: $130,000-$175,000

General Description of Benefits

About Company

ECS was founded in 2001 by experienced IT professionals with a commitment to quality processes, people and performance. Led by our Chairman, Roy Kapani, and an experienced executive leadership team, ECS provides our customers with solutions and services that support their critical needs and further mission objectives. This commitment has paved the way for expansive growth, year over year.

ECS gained market share in 2011 in the Department of Defense and Federal spaces through both organic and acquisition growth. In May, ECS completed its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of OAK Management, Inc., a leading provider of marine environmental services, ship systems engineering, maritime consulting and platform acquisition management. The OAK acquisition kicked off ECS’ intention to add tactical acquisitions as a part of its long term strategy to supplement and expand upon organic growth and to build enterprise value. ECS closed out 2011 with the acquisition of Paradigm Technologies, Inc. The Paradigm transaction added approximately 200 employees to ECS’ existing 900+ employees. Paradigm also added new Defense clients for ECS, including the Missile Defense Agency, the Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Integrated Warfare Systems, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

In 2012, ECS completed the acquisition of iLuMinA Solutions, Inc. iLuMinA brings large-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation and infrastructure design and development to ECS’ expanding capabilities.

ECS will continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and quality processes as we grow and enhance our ability to offer professional excellence to both our customers and our employees.
