DevOps Engineer

All applicants must currently reside in the United States

our team supports mission-focused software development, data operations, and Dev Sec Ops  practices across DoD environments. We integrate modern engineering tools, cloud platforms, automated pipelines, and collaborative workflows to enhance system reliability, enable secure deployments, and optimize development and testing operations across NIPR and SIPR enclaves.

The Dev Ops Engineer will support software development, QA, and operations teams by building and maintaining automation scripts, supporting CI/CD workflows, managing data pipelines, and improving JIRA-based team processes on NIPR systems.

This role is designed for a technically strong early-career engineer with a background in Python, Linux, data workflows, and reproducible computational projects who is motivated to grow into a full Dev Ops skillset including containerization, orchestration, CI/CD, and cloud deployments.

A structured progression path is provided to advance from Junior to Mid-level responsibilities through hands-on work, mentorship, and exposure to Kubernetes, Git Lab CI/CD, AWS, .NET application environments, Databricks, and mission operational workflows.

• Develop, maintain, and document Python-based automation scripts to support QA, development, and operations teams.

• Assist with CI/CD pipeline operations in Git Lab/Git Hub, including build automation, pipeline testing, and deployment workflows.

• Support containerization tasks using Docker and assist with Kubernetes-based application environments as skills develop.

• Help maintain version control branches, merge processes, and repository structure for development teams.

• Support data handling, SQL-based querying, and structured data preparation for development, QA, and operational analysis workflows.

• Assist with Databricks and AWS-based data workflows (training and onboarding provided).

• Contribute to testing activities including functional testing, regression testing, defect logging, and pipeline validation.

• Optimize JIRA workflows, dashboards, ticket structures, and sprint boards to improve operational efficiency.

• Work on NIPR systems supporting developers, testers, and ops teams; assist with preparing artifacts and documentation for eventual SIPR migration.

• Participate in building repeatable processes that improve deployments, environment stability, and traceability.

• Progress toward SIPR access and elevated responsibilities as clearance adjudication allows.

• Collaborate with developers, QA analysts, product owners, and operations engineers to streamline delivery workflows.

• Assist with backlog refinement, user story preparation, acceptance criteria gathering, and sprint execution activities.

• Document processes, results, and improvements clearly and consistently.

• Bachelor’s degree and 0-2 years of relevant experience; OR

• Master’s degree and 0–3 years; OR

• 8–10 years without a degree.

• Proficiency in Python for automation, data workflows, or computational scripting.

• Working knowledge of Linux environments.

• Familiarity with Git, Git Hub or Git Lab workflows.

• Basic understanding of SQL, RDS, and Data Bricks.

• Exposure to Docker or containerized compute environments.

• Strong analytical problem-solving skills; ability to debug technical workflows.

• Ability to document technical steps and collaborate in an Agile/Scrum environment.

• Must be able to work on NIPR systems.

• Eligibility to obtain a SECRET clearance highly preferred.

• Exposure to Kubernetes concepts or container orchestration.
