Under the SMIT Contract, the Leidos team is responsible for the core backbone for the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet, including cybersecurity services, network operations, network engineering, service desk, seat support services, and data transport.\nThe SRE will also develop and execute tests focused on system resilience, performance under load, and failure scenarios. They will work in tandem with other Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and development teams to create automated testing frameworks that simulate real-world conditions that validate system behavior under normal and stress conditions, ensuring our services are resilient and meet established service level objectives (SLOs). Your work will contribute to the development of robust and scalable services that operate reliably in production.\nYour responsibilities will include maintaining complex computer systems by writing code to automate software releases, monitor systems, and detect and fix problems before users even know there is an issue. You will use these skills to improve site performance and overall reliability.\nThe SRE Engineer role is responsible for supporting, migrating, automation and optimization of software development and deployment process, infrastructure as code, and contribute to the overall maturity of the Site Reliability Engineering program.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nWork alongside the development and operations teams to ensure speedy and reliable software deployments, monitor systems, and improve overall reliability of the platform. In addition, as you discover and document system bugs, you have the motivation to go off and fix them yourself.\nDevelop features utilize the AI coding tool and repository of scripts to automate, scale, test, and secure the cloud infrastructure and the pipelines.\nEnhance performance monitoring of the various systems via Splunk or other dashboard reporting tools\nIdentify performance bottlenecks and optimize the performance of cloud infrastructure\nContribute to continuing our SRE journey by suggesting ways to improve engineering build, maintenance, automation and reliability across the platform with SRE/DevOps tools and Infrastructure-as-Code. \nDevelop and code high-quality pipeline automation workflows to support inside and outside the cloud platform that are appropriate for business and technology strategies.\nDevelop and execute test strategies that simulate real-world failure scenarios, including network disruptions, hardware failures, and system overloads.\nCreate, script, and run performance tests to measure system behavior under varying levels of load and traffic. Identify bottlenecks, performance degradation, and areas for optimization.\nDesign, implement, and maintain automated test suites for infrastructure and application components. Ensure that testing is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to validate system reliability with every release.\nBuild automated systems for continuous performance testing, stress testing, and load testing.\nWork closely with SREs, developers, and operations teams to define reliability goals and develop appropriate testing strategies to validate those goals.\nEnsure that new services and features undergo thorough testing for performance, reliability, and failure recovery before deployment to production.\nValidate that monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms are functioning correctly by testing systems under failure conditions.\nEnsure that Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are accurately measured and tracked through automated testing frameworks.\nResolve most conflicts between timeline, budget, and scope independently but intuitively raise sophisticated or consequential issues to senior management.\nBasic Qualifications\nRequires BS and 4 - 8 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 2 - 6 years of prior relevant experience. Additional years of experience may be accepted in lieu of a degree\nCurrently possess and ability to maintain an active DoD Secret security clearance\nMinimum of DoD 8570.01 IAT Level II Certification required prior to onboarding and must maintain certification while supporting the SMIT Contract\nMust be able to support program execution in classified environments and access SIPRNet from an NMCI location on short notice (local travel).\nExperience with automated script design, coding, debugging, and maintenance skills (using bash, python, etc.) preferred\nExperience in CI/CD toolsets (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab, etc.)\nGood command of Linux/Unix and command line knowledge\nExperience in application administration, configuration, and integration\nFamiliarity with agile development methodologies\nSkilled and disciplined to work with a distributed team\nAbility to work in a highly collaborative, forward thinking, and innovation-driven environment\nKnowledge of Agile and DevSecOps/SRE concepts and best practices, with a desire to grow that knowledge\nHand-on experience with Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, etc.)\nExperience creating JIRA and/or Azure DevOps workflows, projects, custom configurations\nExperience administrating/maintaining SRE platform via Ansible playbooks (e.g. upgrading Jenkins)\nExperience in automating tasks with scripting languages like PowerShell, or Python\nIntegrating/maintaining with various 3rd party CI/CD tools like Jenkins and Gitlab\nExperience with PaaS using Red Hat OpenShift/Kubernetes and Docker containers\nExperience with commercial cloud infrastructure deployment environments such as AWS and Azure\nExperience with automated provisioning and configuration tools like Terraform, Cloud Formation, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, or similar technologies\nWorking knowledge of the Risk Management Framework (RMF), DISA STIGs\nWorking knowledge of Git, Bitbucket, Jenkins and Jira for software development activities\nPreferred Qualifications\nPrevious work experience providing support to the NGEN-NMCI program\nExperience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation for automating test environments\nITILv4, Scrum Master, or Agile SAFe certification(s) or applicable experience\nKey Metrics of Success for the Team:\nImproved system reliability, as measured by adherence to Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and reduced Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).\nComprehensive and regularly updated automated test coverage for all critical systems and infrastructure components.\nTimely identification and resolution of performance bottlenecks and failure points.\nIntegration of automated testing into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring continuous reliability validation.\nIncreased scalability and performance of systems under high load due to effective performance testing.\nNGEN\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
