Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer with a strong background in software development, infrastructure automation, and custom-built deployment systems. Unlike traditional cloud-based DevOps environments, we operate with a legacy inheritance that includes a custom version control system, a proprietary patch builder, and an installer that integrates a wide range of internally developed tools. At the same time, we leverage modern DevOps technologies, including Git, Jenkins, Nexus, Docker, Ansible, Bash, PowerShell, SQL, and Python, with a strong focus on Go (Golang) programming. We also plan to incorporate Terraform into our infrastructure management.

Operating in the Defense sector, we work in a highly secure environment where an internet connection cannot be assumed. This presents unique challenges in installation, patching, and software deployment, requiring innovative and offline-friendly solutions. Additionally, compliance with security regulations and up-to-date software requirements is essential, ensuring that all deployments are hardened, secure, and meet industry and government standards.

The ideal candidate should have a solid programming foundation, quickly adapt to new technologies, and act as a sparring partner for brainstorming solutions tailored to our unique ecosystem.

Your mission

• Maintain, enhance, and optimize our custom-built DevOps toolchain.
• Design, implement, and automate deployment workflows for our specialized environment.
• Work with traditional DevOps tools like Git, Jenkins, Nexus, Docker, Ansible, and Terraform (future integration).
• Develop solutions that accommodate air-gapped environments with no internet access.
• Ensure compliance with security regulations, standards, and policies related to software deployment.
• Implement and maintain secure software development practices and patching strategies.
• Collaborate with development teams to improve scalability, performance, and security.
• Troubleshoot, monitor, and optimize existing infrastructure and software processes.
• Engage in architectural discussions and provide technical insights tailored to our custom systems.
• Explore and integrate new DevOps tools and methodologies where applicable.
  
  

Your Capabilities

• Strong programming skills, especially in Golang, Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
• Experience working with custom-built DevOps tools rather than only cloud-based solutions.
• Proficiency in Git, Jenkins, Nexus, Docker, Ansible, and SQL.
• Familiarity with infrastructure automation, configuration management, and build systems.
• Understanding of air-gapped environments and how to handle offline patching, software updates, and deployment.
• Experience with security compliance frameworks, vulnerability management, and secure coding practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think critically about complex systems.
• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to proprietary technologies.
• Excellent communication skills and willingness to engage in brainstorming sessions.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Terraform (or strong willingness to learn and implement it).
• Experience with version control systems, including custom or non-standard implementations.
• Knowledge of package management, patching, and installer creation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD principles, even in non-cloud-native environments.
• Experience working with highly customized infrastructure.
• Understanding of government and defense-specific security compliance standards.
• Open-source contributions or a strong interest in knowledge-sharing.
