  • CI/CD management and deployment
  • Performance assessment, monitoring and recommending performance enhancements
  • Infrastructure management for multiple disconnected networks
  • Continuous testing at various stages of the development cycle
  • Writing and maintaining documentation
  • Helping to implement a DevOps culture

  • A minimum of five (5) years of experience supporting programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity within the Federal Government environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or another related technical discipline from an accredited college or university. Five (5) additional years of system administration experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
  • DoD 8570 compliance with Information Assurance Technical (IAT) Level I required; IAT Level II certification desired.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, deploying, and maintaining systems within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment, including supporting cloud-based infrastructure, automation, and operational reliability.
  • Strong experience administering Linux-based servers, including system patching, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and implementation of security hardening best practices.
  • Experience implementing and maintaining system security measures, with a current understanding of security best practices for cloud and enterprise environments.
  • Experience managing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates, including certificate renewal, replacement, and troubleshooting certificate-related issues.
  • Experience supporting security and compliance tools, including Nessus, UAM, CYBORGBUNNY, and LATTEART.
  • Ability to independently troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve operational issues across infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. 

Desired: 

  • Experience with ElasticSearch or other distributed search/analytic engines
  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience with ArgoCD
