***No C2C, we can NOT work with outside agencies/vendors, and we can NOT do 1099-ACTIVE TOP SECRET OR TS/SCI CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED***

Join a great Satellite Ground Systems team, where you'll be building mission-critical software that powers real-time communication, surveillance, and defense systems for the intelligence community. In this DevSecOps role, you won't just support pipelines—you'll architect, build, and lead the transformation of how we deliver secure, scalable, and resilient software in support of national security.

You'll be responsible for developing new CI/CD pipelines from the ground up for applications, provisioning infrastructure in AWS GovCloud, and helping us migrate away from legacy tooling.

Due to the clearance requirements, this is an onsite position.

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND SKILLS:

• Active and transferable U.S. government issued Top Secret or TS/SCI security clearance is required prior to start date.
• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of experience.
• Experience building secure CI/CD pipelines from scratch (Jenkins, GitLab)
• Experience with AWS GovCloud, including provisioning managed services (Terraform, CloudFormation)

DESIRED SKILLS:

• Experience in DevSecOps toolchains including Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Gradle, Git, Bitbucket, Jira.
• Experience with system configuration management across Dev/Test/Ops environments
• Experience developing in a high-level programming language in a Linux OS environment.
• Proficiency with infrastructure scripting (Python, Shell)
• Knowledge of artifact versioning and secure artifact management practices
• CompTIA Security+ certification
• Java awareness (how it builds, deploys, runs—not necessarily hands-on development)
• Familiarity with secure coding standards and deployment best practices
• Master's degree in a STEM field
• Experience supporting classified systems in a defense or intelligence setting

POSITION OVERVIEW

• Design and build modern CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab for new, cloud-based products
• Integrate security scans, static analysis, container scans, and approval gates into the pipeline from Day 1
• Provision and manage AWS GovCloud infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation
• Support secure and compliant deployment of services such as Aurora, Lambda, EKS, S3, and EC2
• Manage system configurations across development, test, and operations environments
• Work in parallel with legacy platform teams to eventually migrate workloads onto your pipelines
• Collaborate with Java software developers, systems engineers, and other cross-functional teams
• Deliver an MVP pipeline for the greenfield observability product by end of summer, with operational maturity by January
• Provide technical leadership and independent initiative in a fast-moving Agile environment

What You'll Learn

• Full mission lifecycle of satellite ground control systems
• End-to-end DevSecOps deployment in a secure, classified AWS environment
