  • Active TS/SCI with CI Poly security clearance.
  • 5+ years as a DevSecOps Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Systems Engineer, Systems Admin, or similar.
  • Experience administering and troubleshooting Linux systems.

  • Experience administering and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab, or similar).
