This program provides the enterprise hybrid-cloud backbone for product development and testing, enabling the delivery of a strategic national asset. You will work in a dynamic environment that includes a mix of servers, workstations, storage, networks, and custom hardware. Your work will directly contribute to the deployment, implementation, and modernization of cutting-edge infrastructure solutions. This position requires hands-on technical expertise, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and the ability to document and maintain baseline controls. You will also have opportunities to support the integration of cloud and containerized solutions, ensuring scalability and performance across on-premises and virtualized environments. What You Will Do * Develop, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Consul * Support the deployment and customization of software tools, including the creation of templates, dashboards, and scripts to meet program requirements * Assist with the integration and orchestration of containerized platforms, such as Kubernetes and Docker * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, architect, and support build/test pipelines optimized for performance and scalability * Perform Linux system administration tasks, including configuration and maintenance of RHEL 6.0+ environments * Support the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and associated tools (e.g., Jenkins, Artifactory, Bitbucket) * Maintain and integrate Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) products into the IaC environment * Document processes and maintain baseline control for the IaC solutions. Provide technical support and guidance to engineers on specialized tools and best practices * Occasionally travel to customer sites for upgrades and implementation activities as needed ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
