Job description

Work Where it Matters

Pinnacle Solutions, an Akima company, is not just another federal contractor. As an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), our mission and purpose extend beyond our exciting federal projects as we support our shareholder communities in Alaska.

At Pinnacle Solutions , the work you do every day makes a difference in the lives of our 15,000 Iñupiat shareholders, a group of Alaska natives from one of the most remote and harshest environments in the United States.

For our shareholders, Pinnacle Solutions provides support and employment opportunities and contributes to the survival of a culture that has thrived above the Arctic Circle for more than 10,000 years.

We are looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to bridge the gap between our cloud infrastructure, on-premise training environments, and our cybersecurity operations. This role focuses heavily on maintaining both functionality and security across our technical environments, spanning from backend servers and AWS cloud initiatives to localized physical classroom setups and end-user devices. The position takes ownership of general systems administration, including daily Active Directory management, enterprise mobile device management (MDM), and the deployment of physical training hardware, while simultaneously driving our AWS cloud initiatives forward. Because the organization operates in a highly regulated space, a major part of the job involves translating complex security frameworks into actionable technical controls. The ultimate goal of this position is to keep our systems resilient, hardened, and fully compliant with federal security mandates across all infrastructure whether cloud-hosted or locally deployed in closed networks.

• The core of this position involves a mix of cloud infrastructure management, local classroom administration, security operations, endpoint management, and compliance tracking.
• On the infrastructure side, the role requires architecting, deploying, and managing AWS resources.
• This includes provisioning EC2 instances, setting up subnets, and building automated deployment pipelines.
• In addition to cloud environments, this engineer will physically and logically support local classroom setups, maintaining on-premises hardware and ensuring localized training systems are operational and secure.
