• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines while partnering with software engineering teams to support application releases and operational readiness
• Monitor platform performance, strengthen security posture, resolve production issues, and support compliance requirements within regulated environments
Qualifications for the DevOps Engineer include:
• Active Secret Clearance is required
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
• 4+ years of DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Infrastructure Engineering, or related experience
• Strong hands-on experience developing automation and scripting solutions with Python

• Extensive experience working within Kubernetes environments, including deployments and troubleshooting
• Experience with Docker and containerization technologies
• Strong Linux administration and shell scripting experience
• Understanding of networking concepts, IAM, security groups, and cloud security fundamentals
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP is preferred

• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms including Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack is preferred
• Familiarity with NIST, FedRAMP, DoD, or related compliance frameworks is preferred
• Experience supporting classified or highly regulated government environments is preferred
Compensation for the DevOps Engineer:
• Salary Range: $155,000 - $185,000
