Trility Consulting is seeking a Senior DevSecOps Consultant who thrives in complex, security-focused environments and enjoys working across cloud infrastructure, containerization, and platform modernization. In this role, you will support and advance a Kubernetes-based platform within AWS, helping contribute hands-on to ongoing platform, infrastructure, and security initiatives.
This is a highly hands-on role where you will step into an existing environment and contribute immediately — working across Terraform-managed infrastructure, containerized services, and Python-based tooling to improve platform reliability, visibility, and scalability. You’ll play a key role in continuing modernization efforts, supporting migration and decommissioning activities, and ensuring the platform evolves to meet both mission and cost-efficiency goals.
You’ll partner with technical leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, adapting to shifting priorities while maintaining a strong focus on execution, security, and long-term sustainability. This role is best suited for a highly hands-on engineer who can step into an existing environment, quickly get oriented, and drive work forward with minimal guidance.
This is a remote 1099 or W2 position.
At this time, Trility is only able to hire W2 employees who reside in the following states:
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Delaware, North Carolina, Ohio, and Utah.
