We strive to take care of all the people we support, including our employees, clients, troops, and community. We are in the people business, and that principle is what drives our culture. We hire people for a career, not just a particular project.\nWhen we concentrate on genuinely taking care of you, we know you will do what you can to care for the client. Fathom 4 grows when we build teams that feel the same way.\nSecurity Clearance Statement: This position requires a government security clearance, you must be a US Citizen for consideration.\nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nFathom 4 is seeking an experienced engineer to help transform how our customers build, test, and deploy IT systems.\nOur goal is to replace manual, time-consuming IT system integration processes with automated, repeatable deployment pipelines capable of delivering complete system baselines, including Windows laptops, RHEL virtual machines, and containerized applications.\nWe're looking for someone who can design the approach, select the right tools, and turn the vision into a working solution.\nThis work takes place in secure DoD environments where CUI, classified systems, disconnected networks, and cybersecurity requirements introduce unique challenges. We need an engineer who can navigate these constraints, develop practical solutions, and make meaningful progress without waiting for perfect conditions.\nThe ideal candidate combines strong technical fundamentals, creative problem-solving, and communication skills to bring others along with their vision.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nArchitect and implement end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for automated system builds, testing, security validation, and deployment.\nAutomate provisioning and configuration of Windows and Linux systems, virtual machines, containers, and supporting infrastructure.\nApply Infrastructure as Code (IaC), configuration management, and scripting to create consistent, reproducible system baselines.\nIntegrate automated testing, cybersecurity scanning, STIG compliance, and release management into deployment workflows.\nEvaluate technologies and develop solutions appropriate for secure, restricted, and disconnected DoD environments.\nCollaborate with engineering, cybersecurity, and government stakeholders to demonstrate solutions, communicate technical direction, and drive adoption.\nMINIMUM SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS:\nEDUCATION\nBS degree in Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or in a relevant IT major from an ABET accredited program required.\nAgile Developer certification or Certified Scrum Developer certification.\nEXPERIENCE\n7+ years of demonstrated experience designing, building, or improving automated IT infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, or software deployment processes.\nStrong working knowledge of Windows or Linux systems, virtualization, containers, and networking fundamentals.\nProficiency in scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell, Python, Bash, Ansible, or equivalent technologies.\nFamiliarity with Git-based development, CI/CD concepts, automated testing, and configuration management.\nSKILLS & ATTRIBUTES:\nStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to independently research, evaluate, and implement solutions.\nExcellent communication skills, including the ability to explain technical approaches, build consensus, and translate ideas into actionable plans.\nWe value engineers who understand how systems work and can learn new tools over those who simply have experience with a particular technology stack.\nSECURITY CLEARANCE\nMust be a US Citizen\nCurrent DoD SECRET minimum security clearance preferred or the ability to obtain a SECRET security clearance is required. A SECRET level security clearance is required as military base and facility access is critical and must be maintained throughout employment.\nLOCATION\n The work location is N. Charleston, SC, with 0-5% travel expected. This is an on-site position.\nADDITIONAL DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:\nExperience with GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar automation platforms.\nExperience with VMware, Hyper-V, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, or OpenShift.\nExperience automating Windows imaging, RHEL deployments, or complete system baselines.\nFamiliarity with DISA STIGs, ACAS, SCAP, RMF, and DoD cybersecurity requirements.\nExperience working in CUI, classified, air-gapped, or otherwise restricted environments.\nPrevious NIWC, DoD, or defense systems integration experience.\nEQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER\nFathom 4.
