Full-Time Salary Range: $175,000 - $240,000

The salary range listed is based on external market data. Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate’s experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions.

 About the Team:

Information processing and sense-making systems are the lifeblood of national security efforts, facilitating an understanding of the global situation, strategic planning, and tactical execution. The reliability, accessibility, and sophistication of these systems can determine the outcomes of conflicts before they begin. STR’s Analytics and Command & Control (AC2) Division focuses on developing actionable, advanced technology solutions to provide asymmetric advantages within the information domain. 

The Mission Applications (MA) Group within the AC2 Division specializes in ensuring the technology that STR creates produces outsized mission impact. Staff within the MA group have a deep understanding of missions and technology needs for national security with skills targeting transition of technology to operational use, including product management, UX Product implementation, software integration & mission engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, and program management. MA staff combine with other science and engineering staff from the various STR research and development groups to form dedicated product teams focused on accelerating the operational transition of cutting-edge software technologies. 

This role will take advantage of STR’s flexible, hybrid environment – when the work does not require use of STR’s facilities, you are welcome to work remotely. You should expect to spend some portion of time every week (2-3 days) in STR’s facilities.  You can expect to support software applications deployed on classified operational networks that can only be accessed at STR or government facilities.  

The Role: 

As a DevOps Engineer in the Mission Applications Group, you will work as part of tightly knit Agile software teams to design and implement Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for various unique deployment environments.  

What you will do:

• Support cloud (e.g., AWS) toolsets in unclassified environments
• Configure and maintain multiple CI/CD environments at different classification levels, focusing on developer productivity, application performance, security monitoring, and alerting
• Liaision with corporate IT to ensure team infrastructure toolsets are configured, maintained, reliable, and in compliance with Department of Defense standards
• Coaching team members on DevOps best practices while continuously helping to improve processes 

Who You Are:  

• Active TS/SCI Security Clearance, for which U.S citizenship is required by the U.S government
• BS in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related technical field with 5-7+ years of relevant experience
• Experience with all relevant technologies including:
  • CI/CD tools (Gitlab) and pipeline automation
  • Cloud platforms (such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), and automated provisioning tools (such as Ansible or Chef)
  • Containerization technologies such as Docker and Podman
  • Kubernetes management solutions such as EKS and Rancher
  • Experience deploying, and monitoring Kubernetes clusters and pod configurations
  • Basic knowledge of Linux System Administration
  • Knowledge of Python and Linux Shell
  • Knowledge of Cyber Security fundamentals 

• Organized, detail-oriented, and with an ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• Demonstrated experience as an effective communicator to both technical and non-technical audiences 

Even Better: 

• Advanced Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related technical field 
• Experience in:
  • Full web-service stack, including databases, logging, and monitoring
  • Project tracking tools such as Jira
  • Designing, deploying, and monitoring Kubernetes clusters
  • GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Flux
  • Deploying and maintaining artifact repositories (such as Nexus, Artifactory)
  • Deploying and configuring static and dynamic code analysis tools (such as SonarQube, Coverity)
  • Platforms such as ArgoCD, Flux or TerraForm
  • Leading teams in an Agile/SCRUM software development process
  • Current Security+ Certification
