U.S. Navy warfighters need your help to rapidly deliver cutting edge software solutions to the fleet for planning and executing missions for carrier strike groups conducting operations around the world. Mission planners need to collaborate in order plan for anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, ballistic missile defense, autonomous drone swarm information gain, and a wide range of other mission areas.

What you'll do:

  • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines teams rely on
  • Automate infrastructure so environments are predictable and supportable
  • Support containerized platforms in secure, regulated environments
  • Work directly with software and cyber engineers to solve delivery problems
  • Adjust to different program needs, priorities, and technical stacks

Qualifications

What you'll need:

  • 8 years with BS/BA; Minimum of 6 years with MS/MA in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or related field
  • Secret clearance or be able to obtain one
  • Must have strong Kubernetes work experience
  • Must live in the San Diego metro area
  • CompTIA Security+ Certification or the ability to obtain it within 45 days of hire
  • 5+ years of demonstrated experience with:
    • Containerization (e.g., Docker, Podman, Buildah)
    • Container Orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm)
    • CI/CD automation tools (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, AWS Code Build)
    • Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation
    • Linux systems (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu)
    • Automation and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated experience with
    • Cloud computing infrastructure or development (e.g., AWS, Azure)
    • Atlassian suite tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket)
