Position Summary
We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to drive infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipeline engineering across our cloud environments. This role owns the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Terraform-managed infrastructure and the automated build/test/deploy pipelines that ship it, working closely with development and platform teams to increase deployment velocity, reliability, and security. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can independently design and deliver infrastructure and pipeline solutions with minimal oversight.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Design, build, and maintain modular, reusable Terraform code for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure across dev, staging, and production environments.
Implement and enforce Terraform state management, workspace strategy, and module versioning to support multiple teams safely.
Establish and follow IaC best practices: code review standards, automated plan/apply workflows, drift detection, and policy-as-code guardrails.
Identify and remediate technical debt in existing infrastructure code to improve maintainability, security, and cost efficiency.
Collaborate with architecture and security teams to ensure infrastructure design aligns with security baselines and compliance requirements.
CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment of applications and infrastructure changes.
Standardize pipeline patterns across teams/repositories to reduce duplication and increase deployment reliability and speed.
Implement deployment safety mechanisms: automated testing gates, canary/blue-green deployments, rollback automation, and release approvals.
Partner with development teams to identify and remove build/deploy friction, shortening lead time from commit to production.
Monitor pipeline health and performance, proactively resolving bottlenecks and failures.
General Engineering & Operations
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for infrastructure and deployment-related issues; contribute to blameless postmortems and follow-through on action items.
Document infrastructure designs, pipeline architectures, and operational runbooks for team use.
Mentor junior engineers on Terraform and CI/CD best practices as opportunities arise.
Stay current with evolving Terraform, cloud provider, and CI/CD ecosystem capabilities, and bring recommendations back to the team.
Required Qualifications
Active DoW Secret clearance (or higher) required at time of hire.
5+ years of DevOps/infrastructure engineering experience.
Deep, hands-on production experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code across multi-environment cloud deployments.
Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, CodePipeline, or similar).
Strong working knowledge of core cloud services (networking, IAM, load balancing, monitoring/logging).
Experience with version control workflows (Git) and code review practices for infrastructure and pipeline code.
Solid scripting/automation ability (Bash, Python, or similar) to support pipeline and infrastructure tooling.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document and explain technical decisions clearly.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with policy-as-code tools (Sentinel, OPA/Conftest) and Terraform automation platforms (Terraform Cloud/Enterprise).
Experience with containerized workloads (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes) as pipeline deployment targets.
Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch) for infrastructure and pipeline monitoring.
Relevant certifications (HashiCorp Terraform Associate, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, or equivalent).
Prior experience supporting federal, DoD, including familiarity with STIGs/CIS benchmarks and RMF processes.
