Job Description
This position is for an Automation Engineer supporting an Insight Global federal client.. The solution is a containerized, Kubernetes-based, multitenant hosting environment for hosting enterprise and tactical applications. The client is utilizing Kubernetes and potentially Red Hat OpenShift to implement a cloud-native, software-defined infrastructure across multiple global sites. The client is integrating Hashicorp Vault and Terraform, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, GitLab Ultimate Suite, and other Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools into the solution to provide an automation platform to support the infrastructure and potentially offer to host enterprise and tactical applications. The client provides value-added common and managed services built on top of the Kubernetes foundation that hosted applications will require.
Position Duties:
• Work with Government engineers to develop and maintain the automation and DevSecOps framework for supporting the client.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines and automated configuration management for Kubernetes-based containerized solutions.
• Automate the installation, configuration, and ongoing management of Kubernetes clusters, including CNI (Container Network Interface) and CSI (Container Storage Interface) integrations.
• Work with hosted customers to provision customer enclaves utilizing the automation framework and container orchestration tools.
• Harden the automation tools and containerized environments per commercial best practices and required government cybersecurity controls.
• Develop and maintain system, infrastructure, and process documentation (system diagrams, network topology, software configurations, device configurations, standard operating procedures).
• Troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis of issues within Kubernetes clusters, containerized applications, and automation frameworks.
• Provide on-call support for triage and resolution of after-hours production incidents.
• Make recommendations for improvements to automation framework to include implementing new tools, replacing existing tools with more capable tools, and possibly develop new service offerings to hosted applications.
• Promote automation concepts, processes, and benefits across the organization.
• Review and document "as-is" IT environments, perform a gap analysis to articulate automation options and recommendations to improve the current state.
