TIAG is now hiring a Senior Dev Ops Engineer to support the NIWC PAC team. In this role, you will architect and manage robust CI/CD pipelines and automate cloud infrastructure to accelerate software delivery. As a senior lead, you will bridge the gap between Development and IT Operations—driving initiatives that enhance system reliability, security, and scalability across the enterprise. You will also take end‑to‑end ownership of features, architecting and developing solutions that span from a Django back‑end to our React front‑end.

You will act as a contributor to the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept to deployment and maintenance.

This position is based in San Diego, CA with the ability to work a hybrid schedule and may require travel up to 10% of the time. An active Secret Clearance will be required to perform this work, so US Citizenship is a requirement.

• Design and implement automated end‑to‑end CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, repeatable, and secure code deployments.
• Optimize build and release workflows to reduce lead time for changes and improve Time to Production metrics.
• Standardize branching strategies and version control best practices across multiple development squads.

• Architect and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure using IaC tools.
• Monitor and tune system performance, ensuring high availability and proactive resolution of infrastructure bottlenecks.
• Manage containerization strategies to ensure environment parity from development to production.

• Integrate security scanning (SAST/DAST) and automated compliance checks directly into the delivery pipeline.
• Ensure adherence to DoD security standards, including STIG compliance and RMF (Risk Management Framework) requirements.

• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable Python code using the Django framework.
• Develop robust, scalable RESTful APIs using Django Rest Framework to support the front‑end application.
• Implement new user‑facing features and build reusable components using React.js.
• Translate UI/UX prototypes and wireframes from a Jupyter Lab environment into high‑performance, production‑grade code.
• Design and manage database schemas and data models for our application (e.g., using Postgre
  
  SQL).
• Ensure the performance, quality, and responsiveness of the full application stack.
• Work within our container‑based development workflow using OCI tools like Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo in a Linux environment.
• Write clean, well‑documented code for both the front‑end and back‑end, and participate actively in peer code reviews.

• Active security clearance or ability to obtain one; US or Naturalized Citizenship required.
• CompTIA Security+ (or ability to obtain within 60 days of hire).
• 6+ years of Dev Ops experience, including:
  • Containerization (Docker, Podman, Buildah).
  • Container Orchestration (Kubernetes, Open Shift, Helm).
  • CI/CD automation tools (Git Lab, Jenkins, AWS Code Build).
  • Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud Formation).
  • Linux systems (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu).
  • Automation and scripting (Bash, Python, Power Shell).
• 5+ years of professional experience as a Full‑Stack Engineer or similar role, with a portfolio showcasing both front‑end and back‑end projects.
• Front‑End development (React.js, Django Rest Framework).
• Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+).
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs.
• Experience with relational databases (Postgre
  
  SQL, MySQL) and data modeling.
• Proficiency in implementing structured and effective logging for application monitoring and diagnostics.

• Bachelor’s degree in STEM or equivalent.
• Demonstrated experience with:
  • Cloud computing infrastructure or development (AWS, Microsoft Azure).
  • Full‑stack software development (Java, .NET, JavaScript, SQL).
  • Utilizing Atlassian suite or equivalent (JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket).
  • Security+ Certification.
