Position Description
Job Summary:
As a Junior DevSecOps Engineer, you will help build the next generation of infrastructure for Peckham Industries. Working alongside our infrastructure and software/data teams, you will implement code scanning and security tooling, scalable infrastructure deployment tools such as Ansible, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform. The goal of this role is to bring Peckham to a best-in-class level on our security and infrastructure deployment standards for the line of business applications we develop or customize.
This is an entry-level position combining infrastructure, DevOps, and security engineering. It is well suited to a motivated engineer who wants to grow across all three disciplines with the support of senior staff. You will support Microsoft Azure and on-premises environments, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and provide second-level support to the help desk as needed. This role requires strong documentation practices and effective communication across the organization.
Essential Functions:

Mastery. Develop hands-on expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), configuration management, and application security tooling. Build and maintain Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks that define and deploy Peckhams infrastructure in a repeatable, version-controlled manner.

Implement and maintain automated code scanning and security tooling (static analysis, dependency and vulnerability scanning, secrets detection) within source control and CI/CD pipelines for the line of business applications Peckham develops or customizes.

Innovation. Research, evaluate, and recommend tools, patterns, and practices that raise Peckhams security posture and infrastructure deployment standards to a best-in-class level. Contribute to the design of Peckhams next generation infrastructure.

Build, configure, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) that deploy applications consistently and safely across development, test, and production environments.

Provision and support Microsoft Azure resources (compute, networking, identity, storage) and Windows and Linux servers using automation and IaC rather than manual configuration wherever practical.

Ownership and caring. Take responsibility for the reliability and security of the environments and pipelines you build. Ensure backup, recovery, and redundancy protocols are defined, documented, and tested.

Monitor infrastructure and application health, respond to alerts and security findings, remediate vulnerabilities promptly, and maintain composure under pressure from impacted business groups.

Automate routine operational and deployment tasks using PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

Communication. Document architecture, standards, runbooks, and procedures clearly. Communicate status, risks, and recommendations effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders across the organization.

Provide second-level support to the help desk for infrastructure, deployment, and security-related issues, ensuring seamless IT operations.

Participate in small to mid-scale projects and follow change management procedures. Maintain all documentation regarding infrastructure, pipelines, and security tooling.
