About
What You’ll Do
Design, implement, and manage Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and cloud) for secure, containerized workloads.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to enable controlled, automated deployments across environments.
Develop infrastructure-as-code solutions using Ansible , Helm , and other automation tools.
Secure containers and clusters with hardened baselines (DoD STIG/FIPS) and continuous compliance scanning.
Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting across infrastructure using open-source or commercial observability stacks.
Automate image builds and vulnerability scanning in accordance with CMMC / ITAR controls.
Manage configuration drift, access control, and audit trails in line with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 .
Collaborate with software, QA, and security teams to integrate DevSecOps principles throughout the SDLC.
Optimize build and deployment workflows for reliability, reproducibility, and speed in regulated environments.
Participate in on-call rotations and incident response to maintain uptime and security posture.
