Support secure and compliant deployment of services such as Aurora, Lambda, EKS, S3, and EC2
Manage system configurations across development, test, and operations environments
Work in parallel with legacy platform teams to eventually migrate workloads onto your pipelines
Collaborate with Java software developers, systems engineers, and other cross-functional teams
Deliver an MVP pipeline for the greenfield observability product by end of summer, with operational maturity by January
Provide technical leadership and independent initiative in a fast-moving Agile environment
What You'll Learn
Full mission lifecycle of satellite ground control systems
End-to-end DevSecOps deployment in a secure, classified AWS environment
Qualifications You Must Have
Typically requires Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
Active and transferable U.S. government issued TS/SCI security clearance prior to start date.
Experience building secure CI/CD pipelines from scratch (Jenkins, GitLab)
Experience with AWS GovCloud, including provisioning managed services (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Qualifications We Prefer
Experience in DevSecOps toolchains including Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Gradle, Git, Bitbucket, Jira.
Experience with system configuration management across Dev/Test/Ops environments
Experience developing in a high-level programming language in a Linux OS environment.
Proficiency with infrastructure scripting (Python, Shell)
Knowledge of artifact versioning and secure artifact management practices
Agile development experience (Scrum, Kanban)
CompTIA Security+ certification
Java awareness (how it builds, deploys, runs-not necessarily hands-on development)
Familiarity with secure coding standards and deployment best practices
Master's degree in a STEM field
Experience supporting classified systems in a defense or intelligence setting
