Cloud DevSecOps Engineer
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
