Ideal candidates will have exposure to modern programming languages, version control systems, and software development methodologies. A strong understanding of secure coding practices, troubleshooting, and debugging processes is essential.

Additionally, a collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders are critical for success in this role. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior engineer to develop their skills and gain hands-on experience affecting real-world mission outcomes. The position is Hybrid Remote, with most of the work being done in Arlington, VA.
Qualifications SAIC is seeking candidates with a Bachelor's degree in IT or a related field and 9+ years of experience in IT operations. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in real-time system monitoring, account management, and troubleshooting. Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deploying and managing zarf packages, is essential. Additionally, applicants must hold an active SECRET clearance and be eligible for Top Secret/SCI clearance.
Desired Qualifications: A Master's degree in IT, Systems Management, or a related discipline is highly preferred.
