CAREERS

DevOps Platform Engineer

As the DevOps Platform Engineer, you will own the installation, configuration, administration, patching, upgrading, and optimization of our enterprise CI/CD platform and its core tools (GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins (master/agent architecture), SonarQube, Jira/Confluence, JFrog Artifactory, Xray, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, FlywayDB, ArgoCD, etc.) running on Microsoft Azure. This is a hands-on tool-administration — not a pipeline-development position. You will be responsible to ensure the tools remain secure, highly available, and compliant for federal missions.

Responsibilities

Own the full lifecycle of CI/CD tools on Microsoft Azure: design, install, configure, harden, patch, upgrade, monitor, and optimize GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins (master/agent architecture), SonarQube, Jira/Confluence, JFrog Artifactory, Xray, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, FlywayDB, ArgoCD, etc. to ensure enterprise-grade performance and FedRAMP compliance.
Proactively manage operating-system and application patching/upgrade, vulnerability remediation, high-availability configurations, and tool upgrades.
Diagnose and resolve complex tool-level issues (not just pipeline failures) while meeting SLAs and minimizing platform downtime.
Collaborate on the design, development, and deployment of cloud infrastructure automation using Terraform and Ansible, enabling scalable, resilient environments.
Develop and deploy containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes, fostering agile development in FedRAMP-compliant settings.
Partner closely with development and operations teams, applying strong scripting or programming skills to automate processes and solve complex challenges.
Manage projects independently from start to finish, thriving in a self-directed role while contributing to team success.
Maintain and troubleshoot Unix (Ubuntu) and Windows Servers, ensuring robust infrastructure for federal workloads.
Deploy and manage resources on Azure (preferred) and GCP, optimizing for cost, security, and efficiency.
Create diagrams and documentation for environments, CI/CD tools, and configurations, supporting compliance and knowledge sharing.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in an IT-related field (or equivalent experience).
3+ years of hands-on administration and production support of enterprise CI/CD tools, with deep experience installing, configuring, and managing at least four of the following: GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins (master/agent architecture), SonarQube, Jira/Confluence, JFrog Artifactory, Xray, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, FlywayDB, ArgoCD, etc.
2+ years of systems administration (Unix/Linux + Windows) with strong troubleshooting of CI/CD platforms.
Proven experience managing CI/CD tools in Azure (preferred) or other cloud environments, including security hardening, backup/recovery, high availability, and integration with Azure services.
Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, such as Shell, Python, or PowerShell.
Familiarity with FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST 800-53 Rev 5 to ensure compliant environments

Azure certification, ideally in DevOps or Solutions Architect.
