iQuasar LLC has an exciting opportunity for a Gateway Automation Engineer to join our growing team. The Gateway Engineer will develop, validate, and maintain API-gateway automation components that integrate with Government-owned CI/CD pipelines and approved DevSecOps toolchains. This role focuses on gateway-side pipeline integration, deployment automation, validation gates, configuration promotion, GitOps/configuration-as-code artifacts, and migration/onboarding automation while not owning or administering the enterprise CI/CD platform.. iQuasar is a comprehensive professional and technical solutions provider for the Federal government. We combine functional and technical expertise in cloud engineering, data management, cybersecurity and emerging technologies to deliver mission success. 
We are seeking a Gateway Automation Engineer for a contract position. 
  • Position: Gateway Automation Engineer
  • Position Type: Full-time-Remote
Role Specific Duties/ Role Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain EAG/API-gateway automation components that integrate with Government-approved CI/CD pipelines.
  • Create and validate configuration-as-code, pipeline-compatible deployment artifacts, gateway promotion workflows, API validation gates, and migration automation components.
  • Support automated checks for API specification quality, governance compliance, Zero Trust controls, telemetry, configuration drift, and production-readiness evidence.
  • Build automation and validation evidence that supports PWS automation outcomes, including 75 percent manual onboarding reduction, 90 percent automated onboarding success rate, and 100 percent Zero Trust/governance compliance prior to production deployment.
  • Troubleshoot gateway-side CI/CD integration issues, including deployment failures, configuration errors, credential/certificate dependencies, environment promotion issues, and validation gate failures.
  • Support Git-based version control, branching, pull/merge request workflows, artifact repositories, and release evidence.
  • Coordinate with Government CI/CD, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, identity, network, and release teams for platform-owned dependencies.
  • Produce pipeline documentation, automation runbooks, validation logs, deployment evidence, rollback steps, and knowledge-transfer materials.
Required Qualifications:
  • 4+ years of experience in automation engineering, API gateway engineering, DevOps-adjacent application/platform engineering, integration engineering, or software delivery automation.
  • 2+ years integrating application/platform components with CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience with Git, YAML/JSON, scripting, build/deploy automation, environment promotion, artifact management, and configuration-as-code.
  • Experience with API gateways, API management platforms, middleware, microservices, or application integration platforms.
  • Familiarity with pipeline-integrated validation, automated deployment checks, security gates, telemetry checks, and release evidence.
  • Experience working within enterprise-controlled CI/CD environments where another team owns the toolchain.
  • Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Active IRS MBI or recent IRS suitability
  • Experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Tekton, Argo CD, Harness, Bamboo, or comparable tools.
  • Experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, GitOps, containers, secrets/certificates management, or cloud deployment patterns.
  • Experience automating API gateway configuration for Kong, Apigee, MuleSoft, Azure API Management, AWS API Gateway, IBM API Connect, IBM webMethods, WSO2, 3scale, or comparable platforms.
  • Experience implementing automated governance, Zero Trust validation, API specification validation, telemetry validation, or migration-readiness checks.
  • FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, IRS IRM 10.8, IRS Publication 4812, or comparable federal security-control experience.
  • Experience with OAuth2/OIDC/SAML/JWT/mTLS, certificate lifecycle management, and gateway policy automation.
