  • Work closely with architects and operations staff to align automation strategies with stakeholder priorities and mission-critical needs. 
  • Maintain and contribute to configuration repositories, automation playbooks, and documentation to support transparency and reproducibility. 

Required Qualifications: 

  • 3-5 years of relevant experience in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or system automation in hybrid environments. 
  • Proficient in Ansible, YAML, Linux System Management, and scripting languages such as Bash, PowerShell, or Python. 
  • Strong understanding of STIG implementation, security compliance practices, and system hardening. 
  • Hands-on experience managing and automating workflows across Linux, Windows, and VMware platforms. 
  • Familiarity with RHEL, WSUS, and patch compliance frameworks. 
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, GitOps, or similar frameworks. 
  • Comfortable operating within regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (DoD, federal, or other high-security domains). 
  • This position requires an active TS clearance with SCI eligibility. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator or similar certifications 
  • Experience in hybrid cloud environments (AWS, Azure) with secure infrastructure deployments

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
