POSITION DESCRIPTION:
Pioneering Evolution is seeking an experienced Senior DevSecOps / .NET Security Engineer to design and implement secure, scalable, and auditable middleware and deployment workflows that power a modernized federal software system. This high-impact, on-site role blends hands-on engineering execution with DevSecOps best practices, ensuring security is deeply integrated throughout the software development lifecycle and aligned with mission-critical federal outcomes. The ideal candidate will thrive in Agile environments, demonstrate technical leadership, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive Zero Trust adoption and compliance with federal mandates. Other key responsibilities include:

• Develop secure .NET Core middleware components including authentication, RBAC, input validation, and structured logging.

• Integrate automated security scanning and vulnerability detection into CI/CD workflows.

• Generate and manage Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to enhance software supply chain integrity.

• Harden Docker containers and build artifacts using least-privilege and minimal-attack-surface principles.

• Define and enforce security gates and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines in collaboration with DevOps teams.

• Implement secrets and credential management using tools such as AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault.

• Define API security standards and ensure consistent, traceable deployment practices across services.

• Align implementations with compliance frameworks such as FIAR and NDAA, including control mapping and audit evidence generation.

• Enforce Zero Trust principles across infrastructure, services, and CI/CD workflows.

• Work closely with AI/ML engineers to secure data routing and enable metadata traceability.

• Participate in design and code reviews focused on security, audit readiness, and traceability.

• Mentor engineering peers and promote best practices in secure software development and operations.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or related technical field.

• Minimum of 6 years of backend development experience with C# and ASP.NET Core, including middleware and RESTful API design.

• Strong understanding of authentication and authorization protocols (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT).

• Hands-on experience integrating static code analysis and vulnerability scanning tools into CI/CD workflows.

• Experience generating and managing SBOMs and monitoring third-party dependencies.

• Proficiency in Docker image development and container hardening techniques.

• Experience with secrets management tools such as AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault.

• Deep knowledge of secure coding standards, secrets handling, and structured logging practices.

• Must be available to work full-time and on-site in the Washington D.C. metro area.

• U.S. Citizenship and active Secret Clearance are required.

DESIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Familiarity with secure reverse proxy frameworks (e.g., YARP) or API gateways.

• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., OPA, Gatekeeper) or infrastructure compliance tooling.

• Exposure to observability and logging platforms like Sentry, OpenTelemetry, or similar tools supporting traceability.

• Background aligning systems with compliance mandates such as FIAR, NDAA, or FedRAMP.

• Understanding of Zero Trust architecture, service identity enforcement, and secure microservice communication.
