DevOps Engineer

In defense manufacturing, system reliability and compliance are inseparable. Every deployment must uphold confidentiality, integrity, and availability under CMMC Level 2 and ITAR requirements. As a DevOps Engineer, you will design, automate, and maintain secure, high-availability infrastructure that supports mission-critical applications both on-premises and in the cloud. You’ll report to the Director of IT and collaborate closely with software engineers, QA, and security teams to ensure that every build, deployment, and runtime environment meets the highest standards for security and compliance.

Design, implement, and manage Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and cloud) for secure, containerized workloads.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to enable controlled, automated deployments across environments.

Develop infrastructure-as-code solutions using Ansible, Helm, and other automation tools.

Secure containers and clusters with hardened baselines (DoD STIG/FIPS) and continuous compliance scanning.

Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting across infrastructure using open- source or commercial observability stacks.

Automate image builds and vulnerability scanning in accordance with CMMC / ITAR controls.

Manage configuration drift, access control, and audit trails in line with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.

Collaborate with software, QA, and security teams to integrate DevSecOps principles throughout the SDLC.

Optimize build and deployment workflows for reliability, reproducibility, and speed in regulated environments.

Participate in on-call rotations and incident response to maintain uptime and security posture.
