Dev Ops Integration Automation Engineer

Spatial Front, Inc. (SFI) is seeking a Dev Ops Integration Automation Engineer to support our growing modernization team. SFI was recently awarded the 2025 USA Today National Top Places to Work award and the 2025 Washington Post Top Workplaces. The ideal candidate will perform hands-on engineering to expand the use of Azure Dev Ops (ADO), automate application release and deployment processes, and integrate development, testing, security, configuration management, and release-management capabilities supporting People Soft HCM and related enterprise systems.

This role is focused on Azure Dev Ops Repos/Git, Azure Pipelines, mature Dev Sec Ops  practices, CI/CD automation, and integration across the software delivery lifecycle. The candidate will design and implement governed pipelines, automated stage gates, security and quality checks, deployment automation, and end-to-end traceability between Agile work, source changes, testing, releases, and deployments.

A key focus of the role will be integrating Azure Dev Ops with the existing People Soft delivery environment, including opportunities to use Azure Pipelines and automation to coordinate with PHIRE and other People Soft release and migration processes. Prior People Soft or PHIRE experience is beneficial but not required; strong Dev Sec Ops , CI/CD, Azure Dev Ops, automation, and systems-integration experience is more important.

The candidate will work closely with developers, release-management teams, test automation engineers, infrastructure personnel, DBAs, and cybersecurity teams to improve the speed, consistency, security, traceability, and repeatability of software delivery for mission-critical Federal Government systems.
