• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with development, cybersecurity, and systems teams to integrate solutions and address challenges effectively.
• Process Optimization: Identify and implement automation opportunities to improve team workflows and reduce manual effort.

• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance and polygraph.
• 3-5 years of experience with DevOps or infrastructure automation, or an equivalent combination of education, certifications, and demonstrated experience in related fields.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform, Ansible, Packer, or Docker.
• Experience with CI/CD tools, preferably GitLab or similar platforms.
• Knowledge of virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Proxmox, or Hyper-V).
• Comfortable with network engineering, such as configuring switches and routers.
• Understanding of Linux environments and command-line tools.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across hardware and software domains.

Nice to have (Preferred):

• Expertise in containerization technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes, for orchestration and microservices architectures.
• Familiarity with OpenStack for building and managing private cloud infrastructure
• Advanced experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) to design and manage secure, scalable infrastructure.
• Proficiency in advanced scripting and automation using Python or similar languages to create robust tools and workflows.
• Familiarity with logging, monitoring, and observability tools, such as ELK Stack, Prometheus, or Grafana, to ensure system reliability and performance.
• CompTIA Security+ or similar DoD 8570 Certification
