Leidos is seeking a TS/SCI-cleared DevOps Software Engineer to join a high-energy team building and deploying a cutting-edge technology stack in support of the DIA-NDOC DOMEX Technology Platform (DTP).
As a DevOps Software Engineer, you will design, maintain, secure, and improve automated software build, test, artifact, and deployment pipelines to enable product teams to deliver software reliably through standardized, repeatable, and observable DevSecOps workflows.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines for application build, test, security scanning, packaging, promotion, deployment, and release activities.
- Implement standardized pipeline templates, reusable automation, and self-service delivery capabilities for product development teams.
- Integrate automated unit testing, code-quality analysis, dependency scanning, container-image scanning, infrastructure/configuration validation, and other DevSecOps controls into CI/CD workflows.
- Use Helm to configure Kubernetes deployments for new features and evolving requirements.
- Manage and support source-control integration, branching strategies, build triggers, artifact repositories, container registries, versioning, and release-promotion processes.
- Support GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, configuration-as-code, and automated environment provisioning practices.
- Troubleshoot failed builds, pipeline errors, deployment failures, artifact issues, configuration drift, and CI/CD tool integration problems.
- Monitor CI/CD pipeline health, performance, reliability, throughput, and failure trends; identify and implement improvements.
- Provide support to the Platform Team for platform-related activities, such as deployment troubleshooting, Kubernetes configuration support, Elastic integration, observability, and automation.
- Participate in Agile release planning, scrums, design sessions, bug triage, and related team activities.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Sciences, Systems Engineering, or related field with 8+ years of relevant experience; 6+ years with a Master's.
- Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain/maintain a TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience designing, developing, or maintaining CI/CD pipelines for production software systems using platforms, such as GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or equivalent.
- Experience with source control and collaborative development workflows using Git.
- Experience building and managing containerized applications using Docker or comparable container technologies.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes deployment concepts, including manifests, secrets, namespaces, and Helm.
- Experience with artifact repositories and container registries.
- Experience integrating automated testing, static code analysis, dependency scanning, software composition analysis, container-image scanning, or security gates into delivery pipelines.
- Experience developing automation using scripting or programming languages.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, or deployment templating tools.
- Ability to troubleshoot across application build, testing, packaging, containerization, deployment, networking, configuration, and environment layers.
Preferred Skills:
- Knowledge of Agile methodologies
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes administration and operations.
- Troubleshooting pod failures, networking issues, image pulls, scheduling constraints, and application connectivity
- Experience supporting or administering at least one shared data or application platform service.
- Familiarity with infrastructure and platform automation tools.
- Working knowledge of platform security practices
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools and practices
- Ability to create and maintain clear technical documentation.
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills.
- Development experience
