• Monitor performance and troubleshoot issues using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, or ELK.
• Work across environments and stacks to ensure apps are secure, scalable, and resilient.
• Help write and maintain scripts or lightweight apps to support system automation and integration.
• Support ATO and cybersecurity requirements, including ICAM integration and container-level hardening.
• Contribute to a team that ships secure, production-grade capabilities to the mission at speed.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

• Active Secret clearance or higher.
• 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, infrastructure automation, or platform engineering.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
• Security+ or equivalent

• 2+ years of experience writing code (C#, Python, or similar).
• Deep understanding of version control, rollback strategies, and artifact promotion.
• Experience integrating static and dynamic code scanning tools into build pipelines.

Bonus Points For:

• AWS or Azure Associate certification.
• Past involvement in FedRAMP, FISMA, or RMF ATO processes.
• Previous support of U.S. Navy systems or logistics platforms.
