Summary

Location: Reston, VA Salary: $75.00 USD Hourly - $79.00 USD Hourly Description: The Judge is currently seeking an Infrastructure Automation Engineer to support a newly awarded contract with the SEC. This position is remote, but requires residency in the Washington, DC area.

This is a w2 only opportunity, please no third parties.

In this Role you will:

  • Architect and implement the SEC enterprise infrastructure and operations automation capability using Ansible Automation Platform and Ansible.
  • Establish reusable AAP organizations, projects, inventories, credentials, execution environments, job templates, workflows, RBAC, and operational standards for multiple technical teams.
  • Develop and maintain reusable Ansible roles, playbooks, collections, and workflows for infrastructure configuration, software deployment, agent deployment, upgrades, patching, and operational procedures.
  • Integrate GitHub Enterprise with AAP so automation source, version control, review, testing, and promotion are governed through an auditable Git-based process.
  • Integrate AAP with CyberArk or the approved SEC secrets-management capability so credentials are protected and are not embedded in repositories or automation content.
  • Design and implement API-driven and event-driven automation, including approved integrations with Datadog, ServiceNow, and other enterprise systems.
  • Build the automation required to support Datadog onboarding, agent deployment, configuration, tagging, upgrades, and other repeatable observability tasks.
  • Develop approved automated-remediation workflows that can be triggered by Datadog events or other operational conditions, with appropriate authorization, safety controls, auditability, and rollback considerations.
  • Support infrastructure automation for Windows, Linux/Unix, OpenShift/Kubernetes, virtualization, storage, networking, and other applicable infrastructure domains while respecting the technical ownership of those teams.
  • Work with the GitOps/CI/CD engineer to determine where Ansible/AAP should integrate with OpenShift and application delivery workflows without duplicating GitOps or container CI responsibilities.
  • Establish development, testing, approval, and production-execution standards for automation so teams can safely build and manage their own approved automation within the shared AAP framework.
  • Evaluate manual operational processes, identify appropriate automation opportunities, and engineer reusable solutions that reduce repetitive work and operational toil.
  • Develop and validate automation in lower environments, test failure and rollback behavior, and establish evidence that demonstrates reliable execution before production use.
  • Document architecture, standards, integrations, runbooks, automation usage guidance, and support procedures for the long-term operation of the platform.
  • Work collaboratively with the OpenShift/Kubernetes GitOps and CI/CD engineer and other engineering teams to establish a cohesive enterprise automation capability.


Basic Qualifications

  • Typically requires a BS degree and 8-12 years of prior relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 6-10 years of prior relevant experience. Additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of degree requirements where permitted by contract.
  • Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing enterprise infrastructure, configuration-management, or operations automation.
  • Strong experience with Ansible and/or Ansible Automation Platform in production environments.
  • Experience designing reusable automation including roles, playbooks, collections, inventories, credentials, execution environments, jobs, and workflows.
  • Experience using Git-based workflows to develop, review, test, and promote automation content.
  • Experience integrating automation platforms with APIs, webhooks, ITSM systems, secrets-management systems, or monitoring/observability platforms.
  • Experience administering or engineering automation controls such as RBAC, service accounts, credentials, execution environments, and audit logging.
  • Production experience automating Windows and Linux/Unix infrastructure and at least one of Kubernetes/OpenShift, virtualization, cloud, storage, or network platforms.
  • Strong scripting and programming skills using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or comparable languages for automation and API integration.
  • Strong troubleshooting, systems integration, and technical problem-solving skills across infrastructure and enterprise platforms.
  • Ability to architect solutions, evaluate alternatives, document technical decisions, and communicate recommendations to technical teams and customer stakeholders.
