  • Integrate platform telemetry with Azure Monitor, Sentinel, Dynatrace, ServiceNow, and the enterprise observability architecture.
  • Partner with Security and RMF staff to implement controls and produce reusable evidence from code, pipeline, scan, and configuration outputs.
  • Troubleshoot complex platform failures, lead technical recovery when assigned, document root causes, and convert lessons into platform improvements.
  • Mentor engineers, conduct code/design reviews, and help domain teams adopt approved platform patterns rather than building shadow infrastructure.

  • Experience building or operating CI/CD and artifact/container services inside enterprise or disconnected boundaries using GitLab, Jenkins, Nexus/Artifactory, Harbor, Kubernetes/OpenShift, or comparable platforms.
  • Strong Linux and Windows administration fundamentals plus proficiency in Python, PowerShell, Bash, or another automation language.
  • Experience with container hardening, image/dependency scanning, SBOMs, secrets management, certificate handling, and rollback/recovery.
  • Working knowledge of RMF/STIG controls, change management, operational acceptance, logging/audit, and classified data-handling requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical work, review others' code/designs, communicate risk early, and operate calmly during production issues.
