Job description

We need a DevOps Engineer who can take a vague technology request and return a documentation-first system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. What lands on the table: 3-plus years behind you, $69,000 - $100,000 for it, and a runway at Lockheed Martin that keeps climbing.

Key Responsibilities

• Read the Resilience stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
• Stitch GitLab CI events into the ELK Stack pipeline feeding Lockheed Martin's technology reports
• Pull Lockheed Martin's Amazon ECS stack out of the MI region before the migration deadline
• Stand up observability so Lockheed Martin sees failures before customers in MI do
• Translate AWS Lambda metrics into the one chart Lockheed Martin leadership checks each morning
• Spike a Site Reliability Engineering proof of concept fast when Lockheed Martin needs a yes-or-no answer

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Hands-on CloudFormation experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• A point of view on Lockheed Martin's space, sharpened by your own reading

Lockheed Martin is the client-focused MI company that built its name on technology work nobody else wanted to do properly. As a mid-level DevOps Engineer, you'll have a real voice in shaping how the technology team operates.

We anchor everything in $69,000 - $100,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your remote schedule around real life.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.
