Remote Observability Engineer Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

DevOps Engineer

• Reston, VA

• Type: Full-time

• Min. Experience: Some Experience

Opportunity

Northramp is seeking multiple DevOps Engineers to own and continuously improve the delivery pipelines, platforms, and automation that enable secure, reliable software delivery for our federal clients. This role partners closely with development, testing, and security teams to ensure security controls are implemented in ways that are repeatable, scalable, and embedded into day-to-day delivery. This position focuses on how software is built, tested, deployed, and operated, with an emphasis on automation, resiliency, and clear ownership. While this role works closely with Security Engineers, it does not own security operations, monitoring, or compliance reporting.

This role is remote-first, with a preference for candidates in the WDC metro area, allowing for limited onsite customer and team interactions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support automated and secure application delivery

• Implement deployment strategies such as blue/green, canary, and rolling deployments

• Build and manage infrastructure as code using tools such as Terraform, Helm, or CloudFormation

• Support containerized and cloud-native platforms, including Kubernetes and managed cloud services

• Partner with Security Engineers to embed security controls into pipelines, infrastructure, and deployment workflows

• Automate environment provisioning, configuration, and release processes

• Improve system reliability, scalability, and recovery through standardization and automation

• Integrate logging, monitoring, and observability tooling into platforms and pipelines

• Collaborate with development teams to improve developer experience and delivery velocity

• Document delivery standards, pipelines, and operational procedures to support consistency and auditability

Required Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship and ability to pass a federal Public Trust background investigation

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent experience

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud engineering roles

• Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code

• Experience supporting containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)

• Familiarity with secure delivery practices and DevSecOps concepts

• Experience working in Agile or iterative delivery environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with Google Cloud

• Experience supporting production systems in regulated or federal environments

• Familiarity with observability platforms such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk

• Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, Bash, or Go

• Federal government consulting experience

Clearance

The selected applicants may be subject to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information, if required.
