  • Lead GitLab-based source control and CI/CD strategy.
  • Promote DevOps and DevSecOps practices.
  • Improve deployment automation, testing, and release management.
  • Establish standards for maintainability, observability, and operational support.
Technology Environment : 

Our current technology stack includes:

  • C#.
  • .NET Framework and modern .NET.
  • Angular.
  • SQL Server / T-SQL.
  • GitLab.
  • REST APIs.
  • Proprietary ERP platform.
  • Cherwell ITSM.
  • ServiceNow (evaluation and future planning).

Our environment is predominantly on-premises due to customer and regulatory requirements, with selective adoption of cloud and hybrid technologies where appropriate.

What We’re Looking For : Required : 
  • 10+ years of software development experience.
  • 5+ years in architecture or technical leadership roles.
  • Deep expertise with C#, .NET, Angular, and SQL Server.
  • Strong experience with GitLab and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience designing enterprise application architectures.
  • Experience leading or mentoring software development teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Public Trust clearance.
Preferred : 
  • Experience with ERP platforms or highly customized enterprise applications.
  • Experience with ServiceNow or enterprise ITSM platforms.
  • Experience in managed services, telecommunications, networking, or field services.

  • Work with modern Microsoft technologies and enterprise-scale systems.
