Job Profile:

Dev Ops Engineer III (Inst)

Job Summary:

The Regulated Research team within the Research Cyberinfrastructure group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Division of Information Technology is hiring two Dev Ops Engineers for a regulated research platform. These individuals will plan, develop, and operate a compliance-ready environment for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 (Self and C3

PAO) requiring NIST 800-171 controls, and other regulated research areas over time.

These roles will be responsible for defining the architecture and configurations, along with evaluating the impact of changes, to ensure we meet the security and compliance needs. This will include helping define, build, and maintain Infrastructure as Code solutions and CI/CD practices within a Microsoft Azure environment. The roles will also include development and operation of interconnections between the platform and other UW Madison platforms or systems, including those on-premise and in the cloud.

You will collaborate closely with IT in schools and colleges, the Office of Cybersecurity, and technical teams in central and distributed IT to ensure alignment of environments with campus policy and researcher requirements. You will engage with researchers and their teams across the University to understand their needs for the environment and build systems to enable their research. You will be the primary contact point for converting researcher, control requirements, or other professional needs into platform architecture, Infrastructure as Code, and Dev Ops pipeline implementations.

Applicants for this position will be considered for Dev Ops Engineer III (Inst) and Dev Ops Engineer IV (Inst) titles. The title is determined by the experience and qualifications of the finalist.

The candidate selected for this position may perform a combination of on-site and remote work subject to an approved flexible work arrangement (FWA), which is reviewed and approved annually. Remote work requires successful candidates to possess their own high-speed internet and phone to perform the work on a university provided computer. Per University policy, transportation between home and assigned work location is not payable/reimbursable and will be at the expense of the employee.

This position is expected to be primarily remote but will require some onsite presence for in-person meetings or design workshops.

The Division of Information Technology (DoIT) is an exciting and dynamic work environment grounded in organizational principles that include family and personal life/work balance; an inclusive, respectful, and supportive work environment; professional development opportunities; innovation; and alignment with the campus's teaching, learning, and research missions. DoIT provides core IT infrastructure services to the university, develops and implements services for the university and in some cases, for the Universities of Wisconsin, plays a major role in managing the state-wide higher education network and regional networks.
