This role directly reduces platform risk, accelerates feature rollout, and ensures that all enclaves remain aligned on supported configurations, versions, and security controls.
Key Responsibilities
- Enclave Build & Validation
- Build GovCon Enclaves from the automation framework in development and staging environments
- Validate enclave builds for:
- Correct service configuration
- Version alignment (containers, OS packages, platform components)
- Expected security and access behavior
- Reproduce and troubleshoot build or upgrade failures
- Automation Testing & Regression Coverage
- Execute and validate Ansible playbooks used for:
- New enclave builds
- Feature rollouts
- Platform-wide updates and standardization
- Develop automated validation checks to confirm:
- Successful feature deployment
- Idempotency of playbooks
- No regressions in existing enclave behavior
- Execute and validate Ansible playbooks used for:
- Feature Rollout Validation
- Test new features prior to production rollout, including:
- User-facing features (e.g., self-service password reset)
- Authentication and identity-related workflows
- Infrastructure and platform changes
- Validate features both:
- Manually (functional testing)
- Via automated deployment and verification paths
- Test new features prior to production rollout, including:
- Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis
- Investigate automation failures, configuration drift, or unexpected behavior
- Work closely with senior platform engineers to:
- Isolate root causes
- Propose fixes or automation improvements
- Validate resolutions before production deployment
- Platform Standardization Support
- Assist in bringing all customer enclaves to a consistent baseline:
- Container versions
- OS and platform configurations
- Supported architecture patterns
- Validate upgrade paths and document known risks or edge cases

- Quality assurance – Automation changes produce consistent, repeatable outcomes across environments with no regressions in exciting functionality
- Speed without fragility – Platform-wide updates and upgrades happen faster while maintaining security and compliance standards
- Proactive problem-solving identification – You catch issues in development and staging environments, escalating to senior engineers before problems reach production
- Clear communication -you document findings, troubleshoot systematically, and collaborate effectively with senior engineers
Role Requirements:
- Meticulous attention to detail with focus on repeatability and quality
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting capabilities
- Collaborative mindset when working with platform engineers and cross-functional teams
