We work in small-to-mid size, diverse teams with clear ownership of tasking. Engineers are trusted in solving problems and aren't waiting for permission to execute.

U.S. Navy warfighters need your help to rapidly deliver cutting edge software solutions to the fleet for planning and executing missions for carrier strike groups conducting operations around the world. Mission planners need to collaborate in order plan for anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, ballistic missile defense, autonomous drone swarm information gain, and a wide range of other mission areas.

What you will be doing:

  • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines teams rely on
  • Automate infrastructure so environments are predictable and supportable
  • Support containerized platforms in secure, regulated environments
  • Work directly with software and cyber engineers to solve delivery problems
  • Adjust to different program needs, priorities, and technical stacks
Qualifications

What you will need: 

  • 5 years with BS/BA; 3 years with MS/MA; in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or related field
  • Secret clearance or be able to obtain one
  • CompTIA Security+ Certification or the ability to obtain it within 45 days of hire
  • Must have strong Kubernetes work experience
  • Must be able to live in the San Diego metro area
  • Demonstrated experience with:
    • Containerization (e.g., Docker, Podman, Buildah)
    • Container Orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm)
    • CI/CD automation tools (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, AWS Code Build)
    • Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation
    • Linux systems (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu)
    • Automation and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell)

 Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience with
    • Cloud computing infrastructure or development (e.g., AWS, Azure)
    • Atlassian suite tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket)
