## Description

The DevSecOps/ Openshift Engineer will configure and sustain secure delivery and operating environments for FEM / IBM Maximo Application Suite. You will connect application builds, infrastructure changes, security evidence and recoverability. The role supplies technical evidence to the designated RMF/ATO specialists; it is not a substitute for independent authorization-support ownership. This position is contingent based on award, with an anticipated salary range of $125,000-$135,000 based on candidate qualifications and final contract requirements., FEM supports facilities and equipment maintenance at Air Logistics Complexes. It is a highly customized Government overlay on IBM Maximo, covering work orders, inventory, costing, projects and calibration. The disclosed transition includes Cloud One hosting and Red Hat OpenShift dependencies.

FEM platform and build/release operations spanning the customized Maximo application and disclosed Cloud One/OpenShift transition. RHEL, WebSphere, Oracle, Jenkins, Artifactory and GitLab/Arcturus are in the source baseline; confirm inherited versions and boundaries before changing them., Application-aware platform delivery

 * Maintain FEM container/deployment configurations, Helm charts and environment-specific settings supporting Maximo and database/application-server dependencies.
 * Operate the approved pipeline and assist the disclosed Arcturus/tool transition while preserving deployable artifacts, review gates and platform configuration history.
 * Maintain versioned infrastructure as code, provisioning requests and environment baselines; test changes before promotion and investigate configuration drift.

Security and operational resilience

 * Implement assigned identity, least-privilege, encryption, segmentation and STIG controls; monitor logs, performance and security findings with accountable remediation.
 * Prepare application recovery runbooks and COOP exercise evidence; coordinate with the FEM hosting enclave without taking ownership of its COOP.

Release evidence and technical coordination

 * Retain pipeline/test/security-scan and component/SBOM evidence, architecture changes and control inputs; coordinate rather than grant ATO or production acceptance.
 * Escalate architecture decisions to the assigned senior lead and Government reviewers; support authorized deployments, rollback and incident recovery.
