The Senior AWS DevSecOps Consultant will enhance Kubernetes-based AWS workloads, manage Terraform infrastructure, develop Python tools, and support CI/CD pipelines in a security-focused environment.
Who We Are
At Trility Consulting®, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.
We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.
What You Will Do
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.
