Our Platform Engineering team owns and operates the Kubernetes clusters running on OCI, as well as the developer tooling that supports DMDC and its 200+ applications. We provide CI/CD pipeline infrastructure, support application deployments, and host tooling for the broader DMDC user base (GitLab, Nexus, Rancher / RKE2, SonarQube, StackRox, security tooling, etc.) while continuously strengthening the organization’s DevSecOps practices and high availability (HA). On the team you will split your time between O&M support of the current platform (on-call incident, image patching, request / change support) and engineering work that uses these operational insights to automate, standardize, increase HA, and scale delivery. Initially we would integrate you into the team coordinating and managing the O&M support over the next years, you could transition to independent development of enhancements and automation.

Responsibilities:

• The management and execution of the ITSM queue supporting incidents, requests, and changes. Coordinate cross-functionally with teams including UNIX, observability, defense ops, application team, and incident response.
• Build automated GitLab CI/CD pipelines to deploy and test new versions for a host of supported tools and application base images.
• Identify, scope, and implement infrastructure changes and automations though agile sprints that need to be made to increase platform stability.
• Identify gaps in operations documentation and work with engineers on the team to build useful guides.
• Implement new enhancements and automations to support best practice DevSecOps processes and cloud infrastructure.

Qualifications:

• Secret security clearance.
• A Security+ certification (Preferred but can be taken while onboarding).
• Direct experience with GitLab CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, and pipeline automation.
• An understanding of cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and DevSecOps principles for development communities.
• Familiarity with the ELK Stack or other comparable monitoring tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as GitLab / GitLab Runners, Nexus, Cloud managed services, AI dev assist capabilities, and Rancher/RKE2.
• Familiarity with ServiceNow and Jira.
• Familiarity with other tools such as SonarQube, Fortify, TestRail, ArgoCD, and Renovate.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Cloud certifications form AWS, Azure, or OCI.
• Basic scripting and automation skills.
