The Opportunity: 
Today’s dynamic technology landscape demands constant and rapid innovation. To facilitate this transformation, we must ensure continuous integration and application development. That’s why we need a DevOps engineer like you who’s eager to help us engineer, test, and program critical applications for our clients who need them most.

As a Software Factory DevOps Engineer on our team, you’ll help pipeline our software development from requirements to testing in production. Your team will incorporate automation and cloud resources to minimize repetitive tasks and free up the team’s developers to do what they do best—innovate. You’ll work with professionals to implement continuous integration and delivery to limit manual testing and troubleshooting.

This is an opportunity to broaden your experience in software engineering while helping to develop software that will completely transform workflows and make a real impact. Here, we invest in technology, and we’ll invest in you. With access to continuing education resources, tuition assistance opportunities, and technology development programs, you’ll grow your skills as you work at the leading edge of technology.

Work with us as we build and test tools to transform the future.
