King of Prussia, PA (On-Site/Office)
Title - GCX: Software Engineer (CI/CD)
Location - DEPII - Herndon VA and King of Prussia, PA
Clearance - TS/SCI
Responsibilities:
Design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines for containerized workloads across dev/test/prod, and implement core Kubernetes platform capabilities (RBAC, networking, ingress, secrets, autoscaling, and upgrades). Package and deploy services with Helm/Kustomize using repeatable release strategies, automate environments with IaC, and embed DevSecOps controls and GitOps standards. Improve operability with strong observability and incident practices, partner with application teams to onboard and troubleshoot, harden the software supply chain and artifact flow, and document platform patterns and templates to scale adoption.
Required Qualifications:
TS/SCI Clearance
BS in Software Engineering or related field
2-10 years of experience in CI/CD and Kubernetes-focused engineering or SRE/Platform Engineering
Strong Kubernetes skills - core objects, scheduling, RBAC, networking, storage, upgrades, troubleshooting
Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)
Experience with Helm and at least one IaC tool (Terraform preferred)
Experience operating container platforms (Docker/OCI), registries, and image lifecycle management
Proficiency with Linux and scripting (Bash and/or Python); comfort debugging distributed systems
Experience implementing security controls in pipelines (scanning, secrets handling, least privilege, policy)
Familiarity with observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Loki, Splunk, Datadog, etc.)
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with NGA CORE (Common Operations Release Environment) - a DevSecOps environment with an integrated CI/CD pipeline and a Kubernetes-based PaaS.
Experience supporting Kubernetes deployment and container orchestration across multiple security domains / networks in government or IC environments
Hands-on GitOps operations (Argo CD/Flux), including multi-tenant cluster patterns
Experience with policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno) and admission control guardrails
Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd) and zero-trust-friendly network segmentation
Experience building reusable platform "golden paths" (pipeline templates, Helm charts, scaffolding)
Strong background in platform hardening - supply chain security, artifact signing, provenance, SBOM workflows
Familiarity with compliance and ATO workflows in regulated environments (RMF/NIST controls)
Large-scale software development experience, including:
Agile development with familiarity in Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) using VersionOne
Experience with Angular, DOJO, Oracle WebLogic, Tomcat
Databases: Oracle DBMS, Postgres DBMS, SQL, PL/SQL
Operating systems: UNIX/Linux
Web/automation technologies: HTML, Selenium, JavaScript, EJB, Web Services, Microservices (Docker & Kubernetes), REST, XML, UML
Development tools: Eclipse or NetBeans
Deployment architectures and CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Git/JIRA, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Conductor, Kafka/Zookeeper, Consul, CMDB
Big data technologies, including:
Data ingest: JSON, Kafka, Microservices, Elasticsearch
Analytics: Hive, Spark, R, Pig, Oozie workflows
Hadoop ecosystem: Hive data, Oozie, Spark, Pig, Impala, Hue
COTS integration: Knowi, MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL RDS, Elastic, Logstash, Kibana, Zookeeper, Consul, Hadoop/HDFS
Containerization/configuration tools: Docker, Chef
