About the position

CACI is seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the F3I program for the AFRL customer in locations such as Rome, NY, Omaha, NE, or Hampton, VA. In this role, you will utilize various software development methodologies, including Agile, Waterfall, and DevSecOps, to design, develop, and integrate solutions that encompass products, hardware, software, and sustainment services. You will have the opportunity to interact and present to executive and senior management, ensuring that your work aligns with organizational requirements related to information assurance principles, including confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, and non-repudiation. As a DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for familiarizing yourself with and applying DoD/IC system security control requirements, roles, missions, and operational enterprise architecture. You will employ information security systems engineering principles and virtual machine technology, developing IT security principles and methods such as firewalls, demilitarized zones, and encryption. Additionally, you will guide systems through the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process and work with commercial certificates, TLS, and self-signing certificates. Your expertise in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and Open Shift will be crucial, along with a solid understanding of storage, networking, PKI, and administration. You will also need experience with automation frameworks such as Ansible, Puppet, or Chef, and familiarity with VMware (ESXi, vCenter). Working with a Cloud Service Provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) is essential, as is a strong background with Linux Systems, particularly RedHat. This position requires an active TS/SCI security clearance and a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related engineering discipline, along with 8 years of relevant experience. Extensive experience in software architecture and full lifecycle development of embedded software for DOD technical development efforts is also required. You will act as the software engineering technical lead for a medium program, and certifications such as AWS (Developer, DevOps, or Architect) and Security+ CE are necessary qualifications.
