DevSecOps Engineer- LGY

Location: Remote

Description

Seeking a skilled DevSecOps Engineer to support the LGY Development, Security, and Operations 2.0 program. The DevSecOps Engineer will support an initiative that connects Salesforce, S-Docs, AWS, and VA Notify to deliver reliable, high-volume outbound Veteran communications - including case correspondence, notifications, and generated documents. The role spans solution assessment, hands-on development, and DevSecOps delivery: evaluating whether the proposed architecture can meet high-volume email and notification requirements, then building, testing, and deploying the integration components that make it work in production.

Job Responsibilities

Assess the end-to-end communication workflow across Salesforce, S-Docs, AWS, and VA Notify

Evaluate S-Docs' ability to generate accurate, consistent HTML/PDF templates, and identify data dependencies, automation triggers, and governance controls needed to maintain template quality at scale.

Examine AWS Lambda's processing capacity, queueing strategies (e.g., SQS, dead-letter queues), and monitoring capabilities

Validate the overall solution against operational expectations for scalability, security controls, auditability, observability, and enterprise compliance alignment.

Document findings, architectural decisions, and identified risks/issues to support traceability and future governance reviews.

Produce formal solution documentation - data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams, design considerations, and decision logs - to align technical teams, business stakeholders, and support groups.

Build and refine Salesforce data models, integration components, error-handling logic, and orchestration needed to support end-to-end processing

Implement AWS components such as API Gateway endpoints, Lambda functions, SQS queueing, dead-letter queues (DLQs), logging/monitoring pipelines, and services that write delivery results back into Salesforce.

Automate configuration management, secrets management, and access controls across the integration layer in accordance with federal security baselines and least-privilege principles.

Integrate application security scanning (SAST/DAST/SCA) into CI/CD pipelines supporting this and other integration workstreams.

Required Skills

Experience in DevOps/DevSecOps or software integration engineering roles, ideally supporting federal government or VA programs.

Hands-on Salesforce development experience, including Apex, Flow/Process Builder, Lightning Web Components, and REST/SOAP or Bulk API integration patterns.

Experience with a Salesforce document-generation/templating tool (e.g., S-Docs, Conga, or similar), including HTML/PDF template design, data dependencies, and automation triggers.

Experience building serverless AWS integrations, including API Gateway, Lambda, SQS/DLQ patterns, and CloudWatch-based monitoring and alerting.

Experience designing or supporting high-volume, fault-tolerant integration pipelines (e.g., outbound email/notification systems), with attention to throughput, API limits, and latency.

Practical experience integrating automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA) into build and release pipelines.

Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53, the Risk Management Framework (RMF), FISMA, and the federal Assessment & Authorization / ATO process.

Experience with automated testing practices, including high-volume/load testing (50,000+ transactions) and regression test automation.

Experience deploying through CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments (dev, QA, UAT, production), including tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

Scripting and automation proficiency in Python, Bash, and/or PowerShell.

Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce solution documentation (data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams, decision logs) for both technical and government audiences.

Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance / favorable suitability determination.

Desired Skills

Direct experience with VA Notify or a similar notification-as-a-service platform (e.g., GOV.UK Notify) for outbound email/SMS delivery and statbounce reporting.

Direct experience supporting VA programs, including familiarity with VA Handbook/Directive 6500, the VA Technical Reference Model (TRM), and the VA ProPath SDLC methodology.

Salesforce certifications (e.g., Platform Developer I/II, Integration Architecture Designer) and/or AWS certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Developer, Solutions Architect).

Experience with federal GRC/ATO management tools such as eMASS or Xacta.

Experience with SIEM and log management tools (e.g., Splunk, ELK Stack) supporting continuous monitoring.

Familiarity with Section 508 accessibility standards and testing tools.

Experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation).

Experience working within Agile/Scrum delivery teams on federal contracts.

Education and Experience

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

Five (5) years of experience
