DevOps Software Engineer - TS​/SCI Cleared

Description

Leidos is looking for our next TS/SCI-cleared Dev Ops Software Engineer to join a high-energy team building and deploying a cutting-edge technology stack in support of the DIA-NMEC (National Media Exploitation Center) DOMEX Technology Platform (DTP). This role is part of a 10-year program supporting the DOMEX Data Discovery Platform (D3P) Modernization effort, where you'll contribute to mission-critical capabilities alongside a collaborative, innovative, and growth-oriented team.

While the majority of work is performed on-site at our customer location in Bethesda, MD, we offer a flexible schedule and occasional opportunities for remote work.

As a Dev Ops Software Engineer, you’ll help design, deploy, and maintain a full-stack, containerized microservices architecture. You’ll also support systems administration, installation, configuration, and the broader adoption of Dev Ops best practices across cross-functional engineering teams. In this fast-paced environment, you’ll collaborate closely with systems engineering, architecture, development, security, operations, and integration teams.

You will work with a multidisciplinary group of developers, integrators, and system administrators to:

• Deploy, triage, and maintain a production big-data pipeline built on Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, and Kafka
• Enhance and maintain CI/CD pipelines and Dev Ops automation to accelerate development and improve reliability
• Design and support scalable, redundant infrastructure across physical and virtual environments
• Use Helm to configure Kubernetes deployments for new features and evolving requirements
• Partner with Systems Engineers to architect solutions for new capabilities
• Contribute technical input to engineering documentation, diagrams, and models
• Participate in Agile release planning, scrums, design sessions, bug triage, and related team activities

You’re enthusiastic, collaborative, and comfortable working with teammates across a range of technical backgrounds. You also meet the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience) with 4-8 years of relevant experience; 4+ years with a Master’s
• Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain/maintain a TS/SCI with Polygraph
• Strong Linux proficiency
• Hands-on experience with containers and Kubernetes
• Experience with CI/CD orchestration and Git Lab
• Familiarity with Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana
• Demonstrated success working in cross-functional engineering environments

You’ll stand out even more if you bring:

• Experience operating systems at scale
• Knowledge of Agile methodologies
• Development experience (Bash, Power Shell, SALT, Python, Groovy, Java, etc.)
• Experience supporting enterprise or production systems
• Familiarity with:
  • Kafka or other messaging systems (AMQP, JMS)
  • Kubernetes monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana)
  • GPU-based Kubernetes
  • SALT for deployment automation
  • Helm / Helmfile
  • Nexus
