Working within a SAFe Agile Release Train (ART), this hands-on individual contributor role will build, secure, maintain, and optimize the automation, infrastructure, and CI/CD capabilities that support ATIS applications in AWS GovCloud.

 

The ideal candidate is a self-directed technical problem solver who can independently solve complex engineering challenges, improve existing solutions, reduce unnecessary complexity, communicate clearly, and collaborate across application, cloud, architecture, and cybersecurity teams. This role requires someone who is comfortable both providing technical direction and personally implementing solutions.

 

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and standardize GitLab CI/CD pipelines, including reusable jobs, parent/child pipelines, runners, triggers, and integrated security testing.

• Build and maintain AWS GovCloud infrastructure using Terraform and other automation, emphasizing reusable, resilient, secure, and maintainable solutions.

• Create and maintain Ansible Playbooks for Windows and Linux installation, patching, hardening, configuration, and operational support.

• Support AWS services and containerized workloads, including EC2, RDS, ECR/EKS, Systems Manager, Secrets Manager, and approved/hardened container images such as Iron Bank.

• Automate security controls, vulnerability remediation, and validation; support DoD security tooling such as ACAS, Elastic Agent, CloudWatch agents, and related capabilities.

• Troubleshoot and independently resolve complex infrastructure, pipeline, operating system, networking, container, and security issues.

• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and improve existing DevSecOps and cloud capabilities while reducing technical debt and redundant solutions.

• Collaborate across application, cloud, cybersecurity, and architecture teams to develop and implement solutions that support changing ATIS priorities.

• Create and maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and reusable patterns that enable team self-sufficiency and knowledge transfer.

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers while remaining directly engaged in hands-on engineering and implementation.

Qualifications Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • 7+ years of hands-on DevSecOps, cloud, platform, systems, or infrastructure automation experience.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and Linux administration in production environments.
  • Experience with configuration management and automation tools such as Ansible.
  • Working knowledge of containers, cloud networking, IAM, and secure infrastructure design.
  • Experience implementing cybersecurity guardrails, vulnerability remediation, and automated security validation in secure or regulated environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure, pipeline, operating system, networking, container, and security issues.
  • Strong technical communication, documentation, and independent problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across application, cloud, architecture, and cybersecurity teams and manage competing priorities.
  • Active DoW Secret security clearance.
  • Active DoDI 8140-compliant certification (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CISM) or ability to obtain.
Preferred Qualifications
  • AWS GovCloud experience and familiarity with NIST, RMF, DoD 8140, and DoD authorization/compliance processes.
  • Experience with Kubernetes/EKS, ECR, GitOps, and containerized application delivery.
  • Experience with Army/DoW security and monitoring tools such as ACAS, Elastic Agent, and CloudWatch agents.
  • Experience standardizing DevSecOps and cloud capabilities at scale and supporting ATO activities.
  • Experience working within a SAFe Agile Release Train (ART) or supporting Army, DoD, or other mission-critical systems.
Travel Requirements
  • Occasional travel required for PI Planning, program events, user engagement sessions, and key milestones.

 

Target Salary Range: $140,000 - 165,000.

Final compensation will be determined by a variety of factors including but not limited to your skills, experience, education, and/or certifications.
