Full job description
Who We Are
Every organization runs on intelligence: years of accumulated knowledge, decisions, and context. As AI takes on more of that work, companies face a choice: rent that intelligence from vendors who keep the data, the context, and the results, or own it.
OpenTeams exists to make ownership possible.
Founded by Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and SciPy, and built by people with deep roots across the open-source ecosystem, including NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, and Jupyter, we help enterprises and governments build AI they control, govern, and evolve themselves.
If that sounds like your kind of work, we'd like to meet you.
Site Reliability Engineer / DevSecOps Engineer
Location: Washington, DC; Denver, CO; or Colorado Springs, CO preferred (hybrid). Highly qualified candidates outside these locations may also be considered for unclassified work.
Work Authorization: U.S. citizenship required
Clearance: An active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph is strongly preferred. Candidates without an active clearance may be considered for unclassified work but must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
Salary Range: $145,000–$250,000 USD, dependent on experience level and location
About the Role
We're looking for a SRE/DevSecOps Engineer to build and own the secure delivery pipeline for an AI/ML platform deployed into tightly controlled environments. This is a role for someone who treats security as something you build into the delivery path, not something you inspect for at the end of it.
You own the supply chain end to end — pipelines that produce hardened, signed release artifacts with a software bill of materials attached, with scanning, policy enforcement, and secrets handling built into the path rather than bolted alongside it. That path has to survive promotion into isolated and limited-connectivity environments, which means it works when the network doesn't and can prove what it shipped when nobody can reach back to check. It also has to produce the compliance evidence — audit and accreditation artifacts that fall out of the build automatically instead of getting assembled by hand under deadline.
Reliability comes with the territory. Once the platform is deployed, you're part of keeping it healthy: observability, alerting, and incident response are shared work on this team, and the person who built the release path is usually the one who can tell you what changed.
The engineers who do well here have worked inside a formal compliance framework and know the difference between a pipeline that passes a security review and one that produces the review. Experience packaging or promoting software into air-gapped or otherwise disconnected environments matters a lot — it's the part that's hardest to learn on the fly.
This position is contingent upon contract award. Travel of up to 15% may be required, primarily to Government facilities and between company locations. Unclassified work may be performed remotely, while classified promotion and validation activities require onsite work in an accredited facility and the appropriate security clearance.
Key Responsibilities
Build and operate the CI/CD pipeline that produces versioned, signed release packages with SBOM manifests, hardened container images, deployment runbooks, and validation procedures for each promotion gate
Execute the recurring low-to-high promotion cadence through Government-approved transfer mechanisms, including cross-domain solution submission packages, and verify environment parity after each promotion
Integrate vulnerability management, image signing, dependency scanning, and continuous monitoring into the pipeline so accreditation evidence is generated once and reused at each promotion
Work with the program's security engineers to keep pipeline outputs aligned to the RMF body of evidence
Define and track service level objectives, and build monitoring, logging, and alerting with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
Lead incident response and run postmortems to closure
Operate sanitized defect and telemetry feedback paths so issues observed in production environments are reproduced and fixed where the full toolchain is available
Enforce the constraint that platform dependencies are limited to services confirmed available in the target environments, with development-only dependencies gated behind feature flags
Maintain deployment runbooks, validation procedures, and operational documentation to a standard suitable for Government review and for execution by other cleared personnel
Required Skills & Experience
U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
6+ years of experience in DevSecOps, site reliability engineering, platform engineering, or production operations
3+ years of experience supporting Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, or similarly regulated programs
Hands-on experience packaging or promoting software into classified, air-gapped, or limited-connectivity environments
Strong Kubernetes and cloud operations experience, including operating containerized production workloads in AWS
Working knowledge of DevSecOps practices for regulated environments, including hardened containers, image signing, software bill of materials generation, vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring
Experience working within the Risk Management Framework or a comparable security and compliance framework
Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, Go, or a comparable language
Experience with infrastructure-as-code and deployment tools such as Terraform, Helm, or equivalent technologies
Experience implementing or operating production observability stacks and participating in incident response
Current DoD 8140/8570 qualifying certification, such as CISSP or CASP+, or the ability to obtain an appropriate certification within 90 days of hire
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Nice to Have
Active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph
Experience with classified cloud environments, including AWS Secret or Top Secret regions
Experience with Kubernetes platforms commonly used within Department of Defense or Intelligence Community environments
Experience implementing or operating under a continuous Authority to Operate model
Experience automating security evidence and continuous-monitoring pipelines
Familiarity with cross-domain solutions, guards, data diodes, or comparable transfer mechanisms and their packaging requirements
Experience supporting machine learning, AI, or GPU-accelerated workloads in production
Experience supporting rapid prototyping programs or defense innovation initiatives

The future of AI belongs to those who own it. At OpenTeams, it belongs to you.
Twenty years ago, open source legend Travis Oliphant helped make AI possible. He created NumPy and SciPy, an essential part of the Python ecosystem—trusted by tens of millions worldwide.
Today, AI is changing the world at an unprecedented pace. Most enterprises, government agencies, and defense organizations don’t have the expertise or the trust, to deploy it at scale.
That’s why Travis founded OpenTeams. We help organizations design, build, and run modular AI infrastructure that they fully own. Our model blends deep AI innovation with expert services to build systems you can understand, trust, and adapt as your needs evolve—without any third-party control. Ever.
You own AI. We build and maintain it.
