• Must be willing to travel to San Antonio, TX on average 3-4 days every three months.
• Must be able to work in a hybrid environment, spending an average of 1-2 days per week at our Columbia, MD office; flexibility is essential to adapt to schedule changes as needed.
• Must have experience developing and deploying infrastructure in AWS.
• Experience with Kubernetes (or vendor flavor of Kubernetes), including cluster administration and troubleshooting.
• Experience with container (Docker/Podman) build tooling, Kubernetes automation tools (e.g. Helm, Kustomize, Flux CD, etc.).
• Have a solid understanding of Linux systems, hosts, networks, security, applications and proficiency in shell scripting (Shell/Bash).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to identify and troubleshoot complex issues.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Current Secret or TS/SCI level security clearance preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering or Software Development with Python or Go on a Posix-style platform (Linux or Mac OS).
• Experience with writing automation in CI/CD tooling (Gitlab-CI, Travis-CI, Jenkins, etc.).
• Understanding of agile software development methodologies and use of standard software development tool suites (JIRA, Confluence, GitHub, GitLab, etc.).
• Experience with Puppet, Ansible, Maven, virtualization (OVirt, Proxmox, VMware, etc.).
• Prior experience or familiarity with DISA’s Big Data Platform or other Big Data systems (Cloudera CDH Hadoop, MapR Hadoop, Databricks, Apache Spark, etc.) is a plus.
