About the Position:
We are looking for a DevOps engineer to help build, automate, and support the infrastructure and CI/CD systems our engineering and mission teams rely on. Most of our environment is on-prem, with some AWS, so you will work hands-on with servers, pipelines, and the tools that tie them together.
Responsibilities:
- Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines for builds, testing, artifacts, and deployments
- Automate server provisioning and configuration using Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools so environments are consistent and repeatable
- Administer and troubleshoot Linux systems, including services, permissions, storage, and performance issues
- Deploy and support containerized applications, including testing changes and rolling back when needed
- Set up monitoring and alerting, investigate failures, and fix recurring problems at the root cause
- Check backups and test restores for the systems you support
- Handle secrets, service accounts, and access in line with security requirements
- Document your work so other team members can support and maintain it
- Work with developers, IT, and security on network, access, and infrastructure needs
- Take part in incident response and follow up on fixes
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or systems engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Strong Linux administration skills and the ability to troubleshoot problems independently
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
- Comfortable with Git workflows, including branching, merge requests, tagging, and releases
- Scripting in Python and/or Bash to automate tasks, with good logging and error handling
- Hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, or other configuration management tools
- Experience building, running, and troubleshooting Docker containers and registries
- Solid networking fundamentals, including DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, and TLS
- Experience using logs and metrics to track down and resolve issues
- Works well independently, communicates clearly, and keeps others updated on progress
Preferred Requirements:
- On-prem infrastructure experience with physical servers and virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox)
- HPC clusters, job schedulers, or compute-heavy workloads
- Administering self-hosted GitLab and runners
- AWS experience (IAM, VPC, EC2, S3), including GovCloud
- Monitoring and secrets tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, HashiCorp Vault, or OpenBao
- Background in aerospace, test labs, or other regulated engineering environments
