The Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure (CCTE) is a scientific organization working to support Agency decisions by providing solutions-driven research to rapidly evaluate the potential human health and environmental risks due to exposures to environmental chemicals and ensure the integrity of the freshwater environment and its capacity to support human well-being. This position is in the Scientific Computing and Data Curation Division (SCDCD) within the Application Development Branch (ADB). This position will work closely with the Senior DevOps Engineer, Applications Specialist, Developers and Operations Engineers to support our in house developed applications and the COTS DevOps applications.
Responsibilities
Works with Senior DevOps Engineer in support of the tools and processes to design, build, deploy, manage, and monitor of over 20 web applications in dev/staging/production environments. Supports Application servers (RHEL) with updates, user permissions, web application configuration management, and log management. Participates in Agile ritual meetings. Thrive in an autonomous environment surrounded by unsolved problems.
Day to Day
Assisting development teams in deployments Troubleshooting delivery failures and application outages Modification of current CI pipelines (adding or changing environmental variables, testing steps, or build steps, etc) Documentation of current processes and updating documentation with process changes Automating processes to reduce time to deployment or increase efficiency Analysis of problem areas via logs and monitoring metrics to improve server and application performance
Products Supporting
This position supports CI/CD for applications that are developed in-house that are both public and intranet facing. There are approximately 20 web applications that serve to either showcase scientific data via dashboards or curate scientific data. This position will also assist in support of the follow COTS applications: Jenkins, Portainer, Slack, Atlassian Bitbucket, Prometheus, Alert Manager, Grafana, Docker, Apache, HAProxy, Ansible, Docker Registry, SonaType Nexus, Elastic Search, Logstash, Kibana, Beats, among others.
ExperienceMust Have:
Ideal candidate would have at least 1 year experience as a web developer or linux administrator with either at least 2 years of college or some related certification(s) sure as RCSA, Docker Certified Associate, or similar. If Linux administrator minimum 1-year experience with linux administration skills using technologies for web applications such as Apache, Nginx, and/or HAProxy. If Developer minimum 1-year experience in an Agile development such as scrum or Kanban If Developer minimum 1-year experience with source code version control management, code merging, Git Flow, DevOps CICD tool experience: Jenkins / Bamboo / Github actions for complete automation implementation (experience at some level) with some playbooks (Ansible ) or other. Able to implement through Source Code (IaC - Infrastructure as Code) to automate the initial CICD pipelines ideally as replicated services. Docker containers with some orchestration: Docker Swarm and/or Kubernetes. Also, Overall devops orchestration tool like Portainer DevOps Monitoring software: ELK or Prometheus - utilization of these tools to troubleshoot container deployment errors. Git source code how to use.
Nice to have
Experience with Linux configuration management tools using Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or similar technologies Experience with Bash Scripting, Java, Python, Groovy, and/or Ruby Experience with centralized application logging management tools such as Elastic stack, Graylog, Fluentd or similar technologies Experience with automated testing integration Experience with Atlassian tools such as Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence. Experience with open source tools. In most cases there is not a support mechanism in place accept for reading the documentation. Experience with CI/CD platform such as Jenkins or GitLab or GitHub CICD Experience with containerized technologies such as Docker Experience with Source code processing (Git) with basic operations such as comparing deltas in code | checkin check out | proper Merging and Pull Requests. Especially needed for IaC (Infrastructure as Code) in DevOPs.
Other
Associates Degree and/or Certification Must be able to have a Government Furnished Equipment (GFE Computer), access to the EPA VPN, and access to a VDI Pro machine furnished by VDI. Must be able to attain a background investigation that will enable the candidate to have a security clearance capable of administering systems that are critical to CCTE busines and mission. This is a high risk position.
