Job Description:

SSI is looking to hire a DevSecOps Engineer to join our distributed operations team, developing modular cloud technologies, optimized infrastructure, and adaptable CI/CD pipelines to enable viable remoting services in distributed environments for the Department of Defense. This role requires a deep understanding of Kubernetes, CI/CD tools, distributed cloud and on-prem technologies to ensure high quality software, dynamic data availability with integrity, to deliver on demand capability to our nation’s warfighters. This Senior DevSecOps Engineer role is in support of the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year $1.2B program to provide the U.S. Navy's next-generation signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and information operations software technologies. The Spectral system is critical to the ability for our forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber and electronic threats of our adversaries.

What You’ll Get to Do:

You will develop and deploy advanced cloud enabled combat systems that make up Spectral, leveraging the most advanced DevSecOps technologies available. Spectral is not only delivering ground-breaking capabilities to the warfighter today, but also building a modular distributed architecture that allows the system to rapidly evolve, deploy, and adapt to scale multi-echelon operations.

Creative solutioning and thinking outside the box to solve manual pain points for the warfighter through innovative engineering and rapid deployment of software running in production. Developing software technologies and leveraging first class tooling to generate high availability, low latency, fault tolerance, and scalability across multi-echelon distributed environments. Optimize deployment pipelines, leverage automated infrastructure as code, and enhance the overall performance and reliability of the distributed Spectral system.

More About the Role:

As a DevSecOps Engineer with SSI, you will bridge the gap between development and operation, ensuring seamless software code deployment for distributed environments.
