CLOUD DEVOPS ENGINEER WITH SECURITY CLEARANCE

TS/SCI Clearance Required We have an immediate opening for two (2) DevOps engineers who are interested in working on a mature, production environment-focused, CI/CD Operational team. General Duties: Leverage AWS and CI/CD technologies to streamline and maintain a DevSecOps pipeline for mission critical-software applications.  Since most of the work is conducted remotely (from home), this highly motivated engineering team uses Agile (Scrum) processes and online collaboration tools to coordinate activities. The objective is to fully automate the software processes that build, test, harden, package, and deploy applications across multiple cloud platforms (AWS GovCloud, SC2S, C2S).  The result is an enterprise-wide DevOps pipeline that delivers mission functionality to operational environments.  While the tasking is remote (i.e., work from home), on site work for at least one to two days a week will be required. Work will include researching new technologies, implementing new solutions, and providing recommendations to reduce program risk / cost. The specific technologies and activities are described below but heavy emphasis will be placed on Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible, Terraform), AWS platforms and services, and CI/CD technologies (GitLab, Jenkins). Recurring responsibilities include: Overseeing builds, deployments, packaging, integration, automation and releases
Continuously evaluating the Monitoring and Performance of the environment
Providing standards and practices around Infrastructure as Code
Ensuring automated processes for builds and deployments are streamlined
Participating in technology, architecture, and design discussions
Developing the architecture and automation templates for infrastructure provisioning, and configuration / change management
Building and optimizing an architecture for supporting production applications
Level-2 support for a production environment
Required Experience: 2+ years working within a DevOps or CI/CD environment
2+ years scripting (preferred languages Python, Java, or BASH)
1+ years working within Linux (e.g., Red Hat, CentOS) environments
1+ years supporting AWS environments and native services (S3, SQS, EC2, IAM)
Experience with automation technologies such as Puppet, Ansible, Chef, Jenkins or Gitlab Pipelines
Must possess ability to work independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Must be a team player who understands the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and open communication, including a willingness to occasionally work in a pair-programming environment
Must possess strong analytical and technical documentation skills
Must possess ability to effectively present information and respond to questions
Must have hands-on experience with design and development best practices
Desired Skills: Experience working with containers (i.e. Docker) and orchestration (i.e. Kubernetes)
Familiarity with the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF)
Familiarity with industry standard commodity hardware for information systems (servers, storage, network devices)
Familiarity with industry standard software products (operating systems, hypervisors, databases, and web servers)
Education/Experience Level: Bachelor’s Degree in computer science, related field, or equivalent work experience
Certifications Required:  None, but AWS certifications are highly desirable
Must have an active security clearance (TS/SCI) for this position
