## Description

Linchpin Software is a small, growing company, and we're hiring a DevOps / Platform Engineer in Chantilly, VA (50% telework). You'll design, build, and improve Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines on containers and Kubernetes, and keep the core systems and networks underneath them healthy. Our pipelines deliver applications and machine learning solutions into on-prem, hybrid, and air-gapped environments, so reliability and security matter.

Here's what we care about, and we hire for it:

 - Be helpful. Answer the question, share what you know, and leave things better than you found them.
 - Take care of the customer. Our customers have hard missions. We listen, follow through, and make their day easier.
 - Be a good teammate. Review the code, jump in on the tough bug, cover for each other, and celebrate the wins together.

We also build software differently. Our engineers use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, GitLab Duo) every day to design, code, test, and debug faster.

What You'll Do:

 - Design, build, and maintain enterprise CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins
 - Containerize applications and run them on Kubernetes
 - Automate testing and deployment across multiple environments
 - Support ML workflows and GPU-backed AI infrastructure
 - Manage infrastructure as code and configuration management
 - Keep core systems and networks reliable, secure, and observable
 - Troubleshoot complex software, infrastructure, and deployment issues
