Job description

SRC, Inc. is seeking a part time temporary DevOps Engineer, you will help design, build, and support the tooling and infrastructure that enable rapid, secure software delivery across SRC’s engineering teams. You will contribute to Linux administration, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and environments that support development workloads in mission‑critical contexts.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Bamboo, Jenkins, Artifactory, and Sonarqube.
• Administer and harden Linux‑based systems across development, test, and production environments.
• Support ML/AI development environments used to build, test, and deploy AI/ML tools and products (data pipelines, GPU/accelerator provisioning, model packaging, and promotion).
• Build reproducible infrastructure using Infrastructure‑as‑Code and configuration management tools including SaltStack, Ansible, Terraform, Packer.
• Develop automation scripts and utilities (e.g., Bash/Python) to integrate commercial/open‑source tools and streamline development workflows.
• Instrument systems for observability (logs, metrics, traces) and implement guardrails for security, compliance, and reliability.
• Partner with cross‑functional stakeholders (Software, Systems, Cybersecurity, Firmware, ML, Integration and Test) to translate requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions.
• Contribute to documentation and internal training to enable self‑service builds, deployments, and environment provisioning.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field with 2+ years of relevant DevOps/SRE/Build & Release engineering experience.
• Hands‑on Linux administration experience (user and service management, networking, storage, system security).
• Experience supporting ML/AI technologies and workflows (e.g., MLOps, GPU‑enabled environments, model packaging/deployment).
• Experience with infrastructure management and automation tooling: SaltStack, Ansible, Terraform, and Packer.
• Experience creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with Bamboo, Jenkins, and/or GitLab, and artifact repositories such as Artifactory or Nexus.
• Proficiency with a scripting language (e.g., Bash, Python) and version control (Git).
• Ability to work collaboratively across teams and operate independently to deliver outcomes.

Ways to Stand Out

• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience building, installing, and maintaining server hardware and troubleshooting network infrastructure.
• Experience with security scanning/static analysis integrated into CI/CD.
• Experience in regulated or defense environments; active DoD clearance is a plus.
