Responsibilities for this PositionWe're seeking an experienced
Senior DevOps Engineer to help modernize a mission-critical submarine combat system. In this role, you will enable the transformation of a large monolithic C++ codebase into secure, scalable Java-based microservices while strengthening the software DevOps capabilities required to deliver those systems reliably, securely, and efficiently.
This is an opportunity for a senior engineer with deep experience in
CI/CD pipelines, build systems, DevOps practices, source-control workflows, and software-delivery modernization. You will support the team's current Bamboo and Bitbucket environment while helping define and execute a practical migration to GitLab.
What You Bring to the Table (Needs)- Organize and accelerate DevOps modernization efforts for the migration of a monolithic C++ application to Java-based microservices.
- Knowledge of DevOps principles, automated testing, artifact management, infrastructure automation, and secure software-delivery practices.
- Strong hands-on expertise in CI/CD pipeline design, implementation, automation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for a complex, multi-repository software environment
- Experience with CI/CD platforms such as Bamboo, Bitbucket, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or comparable tools.
- Assess existing build, test, release, artifact-management, and repository workflows; identify opportunities to improve delivery speed, repeatability, traceability, security, and product quality.
- Define and implement scalable versioning, branching, release, and configuration-management strategies across multiple repositories, components, and technology stacks.
- Experience establishing enterprise-scale repository, branching, versioning, and release-management strategies.
- Develop build infrastructure using modern build, dependency-management, and automation tools-such as Bazel, CMake, Maven, Make, or comparable technologies-to support multiple languages and evolving program needs.
- Collaborate with software, DevOps, systems, cybersecurity, test, infrastructure, and program teams to integrate modern DevOps practices into the delivery lifecycle.
What Sets You Apart (Nice to haves)- Knowledge of container technologies such as Docker, or Kubernetes
- Contribute to database architecture and integration approaches supporting distributed, microservices-based applications.
- Experience with enhancing and standardizing the current Bamboo and Bitbucket environment
- Experience with migration of existing pipeline implementations to GitLab
- Help teams adopt GitLab capabilities, including GitLab CI/CD, repository management, merge requests, runners, package and artifact management, and integrated security scanning.
- Knowledge of GitLab runners, CI/CD templates, package registries, artifact retention, code-quality tooling, and DevSecOps/security-scanning integrations.
- Experience with DoD/Defense contracting work.
