  • Monitor and troubleshoot large Linux clusters, leveraging tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
  • Administer and monitor Kubernetes clusters, using Helm for deployment and GitLab CI/CD pipelines to optimize workflows
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation with tools like Ansible, SaltStack, or Puppet
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance software efficiency and performance
  • Use Atlassian tools (JIRA, Confluence) and Git for version control and task management

Requirements

  • TS/SCI clearance with polygraph
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field with eight (8)+ years of related experience or five (5) years of full-time Computer Science experience can substitute for a degree, with an additional eight (8) years in relevant roles
