Evans & Chambers Technology (EC)

Evans & Chambers Technology is seeking a senior DevOps Engineer to support a large-scale (200+ FTE) technical development program delivering modern Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) solutions within a classified environment. This is not a maintenance role. This is a build‑and‑modernize role. You will help architect, automate, deploy, and sustain secure cloud‑native infrastructure supporting mission‑critical systems operating 24/7/365. You’ll work within an Agile DevSecOps framework and play a key role across the full software development lifecycle—from architecture and design through deployment and operational support. This position includes participation in an on‑call rotation (approximately one full week every two months) to ensure operational continuity of privileged systems.

What You’ll Do

Engineering & Automation

• Lead and contribute to software programming initiatives supporting system modernization and innovation
• Design, prototype, and deploy secure cloud‑native solutions in commercial cloud environments
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions to automate provisioning and deployment
• Develop scripts and tooling to automate infrastructure and application delivery workflows
• Support containerization initiatives and transition toward modern container‑based architectures

DevOps & CI/CD

• Establish, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines
• Improve existing DevOps processes and toolchains to increase velocity and reliability
• Deploy build artifacts across multiple environments using GitFlow constructs
• Administer and optimize DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitHub, Rundeck, Nexus)

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Implement and manage AWS services (CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, etc.)
• Perform Linux system administration and privileged access duties
• Support container orchestration and scaling in production (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/ECS)
• Ensure container registry security and DevSecOps best practices

Collaboration & Delivery

• Partner with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and development teams to ensure user story alignment
• Contribute to scope definition, estimation, architecture, and unit testing
• Communicate technical insights clearly to both engineering and leadership stakeholders
• Strengthen team cohesion and execution discipline across the program

Required Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
• BA/BS degree with 11-15 years of relevant experience (or equivalent experience)
• Expert‑level Linux systems knowledge
• Advanced experience with: Jenkins, GitHub, Rundeck, Nexus
• Deep understanding of the full software development lifecycle in a DevOps environment
• Experience with Agile methodologies and development tempo
• Proficiency with Bash, Puppet, YAML, JSON
• Strong AWS experience including CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, and VPC
• Experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, ECS)
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production
• Experience with version control and issue tracking systems (JIRA, Confluence)
• Experience using automated testing tools (e.g., JUnit)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with Elastic Stack tools
• Experience working in classified cloud environments
• Experience supporting formal release management processes
• AWS Certification
• Container or Kubernetes certifications, including Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)

Why Evans & Chambers Technology?

At EC, we build secure, scalable systems that support national security missions. We operate where compliance, performance, and reliability matter—and where engineering excellence is non‑negotiable.

You’ll Be Joining a Team That Values

• Continuous modernization over status‑quo maintenance
