Cloud DevOps and Platform Engineer with Security Clearance

As an Advanced Cloud DevOps and Platform Engineer, you will:

Develop, evolve, and maintain CI/CD pipelines: Automating integration and deployment processes to ensure smooth and frequent releases by project teams (ie. GitLab CI).

Infrastructure management: Automating and managing the infrastructure provisioning and configuration to support scalability and reliability (ie. Terraform, Ansible).

Ensuring security integration: Implementing security automated measures at every stage of the software development lifecycle to prevent vulnerabilities.

Collaboration: Working closely with development, operations, and security teams to foster a culture of shared responsibility.

Scripting and coding: Writing scripts and code to automate processes and integrate various systems and tools (ie. Python, Terraform,Ansible).

Continuous improvement: Continuously looking for ways to improve processes, tooling, and the overall system performance and security.

Driving cloud solutions to realize benefits: Leverage cloud (ie. AWS/Azure GovCloud) for increased workflow efficiencies and realized scalable virtualized test environments. (ie. digital twins) Together with the MUOS Tools and CSEL development teams, you will support successful implementation of a PaaS in the Cloud through architecture guidance, best practices, data migration, implementation, troubleshooting, monitoring, and more. Candidates should have demonstrated strengths and experience in some of the following areas:

Experience working with, or are familiar with the differences between, public (AWS, Azure), private (RHOSP, VIO), and mixed cloud environments

Container technologies such as Docker, or Kubernetes

Deployment of continuous integration and continuous deployment technologies such as GitLab, Jenkins, Puppet, or Chef

Experience maintaining production-grade applications in virtualized environments (cloud computing platforms and services) using automation

Creation of pipelines, Ansible Playbooks, and/or Terraform configurations to automate administrative actions from resource creation to service configuration

Effective communication and attention to detail Other beneficial experience:

IT security practices including encryption, certificates, key management, patch management, STIG, RMF, or security hardening, and auditing

Installation of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) technologies such as Amazon Web Services, OpenStack, RHOSP, or VIO

Management of Cloud Resources in Amazon Web Services, and/or Azure

Platform as a Service (PaaS) technologies such as Kubernetes, Rancher, or OpenShift

Cloud automation tooling such as Ansible, Terraform, Terragrunt, or Packer

Open source server, messaging, load balancing, and database software (such as RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch)

Scalable networking technologies such as Load Balancers (NGINX)/Firewalls and web standards (REST APIs, web security mechanisms)
