DevOps Engineer (TS/SCI with Polygraph)

On-Site in Chantilly, VA | 24/7 Mission Environment

Evans & Chambers Technology is seeking a senior DevOps Engineer to support a large-scale (200+ FTE) technical development program delivering modern Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) solutions within a classified environment.

This is not a maintenance role.

This is a build-and-modernize role.

You will help architect, automate, deploy, and sustain secure cloud-native infrastructure supporting mission-critical systems operating 24/7/365.

You’ll work within an Agile DevSecOps framework and play a key role across the full software development lifecycle — from architecture and design through deployment and operational support.

This position includes participation in an on-call rotation (approximately one full week every two months) to ensure operational continuity of privileged systems.

· Lead and contribute to software programming initiatives supporting system modernization and innovation

· Design, prototype, and deploy secure cloud-native solutions in commercial cloud environments

· Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions to automate provisioning and deployment

· Develop scripts and tooling to automate infrastructure and application delivery workflows

· Support containerization initiatives and transition toward modern container-based architectures

· Establish, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines

· Improve existing DevOps processes and toolchains to increase velocity and reliability

· Deploy build artifacts across multiple environments using GitFlow constructs

· Administer and optimize DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitHub, Rundeck, Nexus)

· Implement and manage AWS services (CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, etc.)

· Perform Linux system administration and privileged access duties

· Support container orchestration and scaling in production (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/ECS)

· Ensure container registry security and DevSecOps best practices

· Partner with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and development teams to ensure user story alignment

· Contribute to scope definition, estimation, architecture, and unit testing

· Communicate technical insights clearly to both engineering and leadership stakeholders

· Strengthen team cohesion and execution discipline across the program

· Active TS/SCI with Polygraph

· BA/BS degree with 11–15 years of relevant experience (or equivalent experience)

· Expert-level Linux systems knowledge

· Advanced experience with:

o Jenkins

o GitHub

o Rundeck

o Nexus

· Deep understanding of the full software development lifecycle in a DevOps environment

· Experience with Agile methodologies and development tempo

· Proficiency with:

o Bash

o Puppet

o YAML

o JSON

· Strong AWS experience including CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, and VPC

· Experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, ECS)

· Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production

· Experience with version control and issue tracking systems (JIRA, Confluence)

· Experience using automated testing tools (e.g., JUnit)

· Strong written and verbal communication skills

· Experience with Elastic stack tools

· Experience working in classified cloud environments

· Experience supporting formal release management processes

· AWS Certification

· Container or Kubernetes certifications
