Description

Etegent Technologies is a defense-focused technology company with offices in Beavercreek and Blue Ash, OH.

The Position:

Etegent is seeking a Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) Engineer to help maintain and sustain software, services, and development environments on large-scale computing systems to benefit our Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) customers.

• Writing efficient, modular, and well-documented code. 
• Creation and maintenance of a Git-based software deployment system, including Docker containerization and Helm chart deployment to Kubernetes systems.
• Development of a Gitlab-based continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD) system.
