• A problem solver who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments
• Comfortable switching between various architectural paradigms
• Eager to work in a containerized landlord/tenant environment and develop tools that enhance software production efficiency
• Passionate about collaborating across teams to support advanced computing and DevOps culture

A Day in the Life:

• Integrate, install, configure, upgrade, and support COTS/GOTS software in heterogeneous operating systems
• Manage software sustainment efforts, including updates and documentation for the full software stack
• Write and execute test codes to assess and characterize software performance
• 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

Must Haves:

• 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
