- Integrate and sustain DevSecOps pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or equivalent platforms.
- Support migration and sustainment activities associated with OneSAF and other simulation, training, and experimentation systems.
- Assist with onboarding of new mission partners, capabilities, and cloud-hosted services including distributed T&E platforms and mission systems.
- Monitor system performance, availability, and operational health to ensure platform reliability during mission-critical events and exercises.
- Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, identity, and security issues within classified and constrained operational environments.
- Coordinate with cybersecurity personnel, system administrators, software developers, architects, and government stakeholders to ensure secure and stable operations.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, standard operating procedures, architecture diagrams, and configuration baselines.
- Support continuous modernization and optimization of cloud environments to improve scalability, resiliency, and operational efficiency.
