Contribute to technical documentation, standards, and process improvements that enhance system reliability, security, and operational efficiency. Participate in agile ceremonies and deliver incremental improvements through iterative development. Required Skills and Experience
Three years of continuous U.S. residency
(required for government security credential). Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience). Minimum 6 years
of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, cloud engineering, or enterprise infrastructure roles. Strong hands-on experience with
Linux systems
in enterprise environments. Strong experience with
containers (Docker/OCI)
and
Kubernetes
in production settings. Proficiency with
Terraform
for Infrastructure as Code. Experience with configuration management tools such as
Ansible, Chef, or Puppet . Scripting proficiency in
Python, Bash, or PowerShell . Experience implementing
CI/CD pipelines
using GitLab CI or comparable tooling. Demonstrated ability to apply
FinOps practices
through practical cost optimization and automation. Certifications
AWS Associate-level certification (e.g., Solutions Architect, Developer, or DevOps Engineer - Associate). Terraform Associate certification
(required). Collaboration and Communication
Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to work across infrastructure, security, and application teams. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to document and explain technical designs clearly. Preferred Skills
AWS Professional or Specialty certifications. Experience building enterprise platform capabilities around Kubernetes (policy, guardrails, observability, or GitOps patterns). Familiarity with Agile methodologies and modern software engineering practices. Special Requirements
Ability to obtain and maintain a national agency check and background investigation for government facility access. Experience and/or education in lieu of these qualifications may be considered.
Success in This Role
Success means the enterprise operates with
a unified DevOps approach -shared automation, Infrastructure as Code, delivery pipelines, and cost discipline-across both on-premises and cloud environments, enabling reliable, secure, and efficient delivery wherever workloads run.
