The Opportunity We're looking for a
Senior DevSecOps / Platform Engineer with significant experience in
AWS to help us build and support the core infrastructure that powers our Navy logistics and asset visibility platform. You'll help design, deploy, and maintain a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment that runs containerized apps across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You'll work closely with developers, DevSecOps engineers, and Navy users to ensure stability, security, and speed.
Remote (U.S. Based) | Some Travel Required
ResponsibilitiesWhat You'll Do - CI/CD & Pipeline Engineering: Architect, build, and maintain robust GitLab Pipelines for seamless application deployment.
- Migration Support: Play a key role in assisting the Platform team with the migration of legacy repositories and workflows from BitBucket to GitLab.
- Infrastructure Provisioning: Design, deploy, and manage the infrastructure behind our apps-across AWS GovCloud, edge, and Navy networks using Terraform, Ansible, and GitLab.
- Containerization & Orchestration: Drive containerization efforts for mission-critical applications (NADACS, SPECTR, etc.) and manage Kubernetes
- Resilience & Recovery: Develop and maintain Helm Charts for deployments and ensure cluster resilience through automated Kubernetes backups and recovery testing (e.g., Velero).
- Security & Compliance Automation: Engineer automated processes for RHEL image hardening and execute automated STIG checklists.
- ATO Integration: Integrate continuous, automated security scanning directly into pipelines to maintain Authority to Operate (ATO) status and support ICAM integration.
- Platform Operations: Establish comprehensive continuous monitoring, alerting, and reporting mechanisms (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana) across the platform.
- Secrets Management: Oversee cryptographic lifecycles through rigorous secrets management and automated key rotations.
QualificationsWhat We're Looking For - Clearance & Certification: Active Secret clearance or higher (required) and meet DoD 8570/8140 baseline certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+ CE).
- Experience Level: 5+ years of experience (Mid-to-senior level) functioning as a DevSecOps or Platform Engineer, specifically within DoD, federal, or highly regulated environments.
- Cloud Expertise: Significant experience deploying and managing cloud infrastructure using AWS GovCloud and hybrid cloud environments.
- Orchestration: Hands-on Kubernetes administration and custom Helm chart development (CKAD or CKA preferred).
- Operating Systems: Strong background in RHEL system administration and scripting automated system/container hardening.
- Tools: Advanced proficiency building pipelines natively in GitLab, with experience handling migrations from BitBucket.
- Core Competencies: An automation-centric approach to eliminate manual toil and a security-first mindset that treats security as a foundational element.
- Technical Breadth: Knowledge of secure identity and access management (ICAM) protocols (SAML, OAuth2, OIDC) and proficiency in at least one language (e.g., Python).
Bonus Points For: - Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- Prior experience with U.S. Navy programs or command and control platforms.
- Experience securing or operating IL5+ environments.
- AWS Certification (Solutions Architect or Developer Associate).
