## Description

Leverage AWS and CI/CD technologies to streamline and maintain a DevSecOps pipeline for mission critical-software applications. Since most of the work is conducted remotely (from home), this highly motivated engineering team uses Agile (Scrum) processes and online collaboration tools to coordinate activities. The objective is to fully automate the software processes that build, test, harden, package, and deploy applications across multiple cloud platforms (AWS GovCloud, SC2S, C2S). The result is an enterprise-wide DevOps pipeline that delivers mission functionality to operational environments. This hybrid, highly motivated engineering team uses Agile (Scrum) processes and online collaboration tools to coordinate activities. Work will include researching new technologies, implementing new solutions, and providing recommendations to reduce program risk / cost. The specific technologies and activities are described below but heavy emphasis will be placed on Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible,
Terraform), AWS platforms and services, and CI/CD technologies (GitLab, Jenkins).
Recurring responsibilities include:

 * Overseeing builds, deployments, packaging, integration, automation and releases
 * Continuously evaluating the Monitoring and Performance of the environment
 * Providing standards and practices around Infrastructure as Code
 * Ensuring automated processes for builds and deployments are streamlined
 * Participating in technology, architecture, and design discussions
 * Developing the architecture and automation templates for infrastructure provisioning, and configuration / change management
 * Building and optimizing an architecture for supporting production applications
 * Level-2 support for a production environment, Our technical competencies include Big Data analytics (batch and streaming), Cloud Computing infrastructure, multi-INT visualization, and enterprise architectures. We support operational missions (All-Source, Financial, CND) and serve as Product Owners for our open-source research initiatives.
