Job Description:

GIESLER LLC is looking to hire a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join our distributed operations team, developing modular cloud technologies, optimized infrastructure, and adaptable CI/CD pipelines to enable viable remoting services in distributed environments for the Department of Defense. This role requires a deep understanding of Kubernetes, CI/CD tools, distributed cloud and on-prem technologies to ensure high quality software, dynamic data availability with integrity, to deliver on demand capability to our nation’s warfighters.

 

This role is in support of the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year program to provide both hardware and software solutions for our naval forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex range of cyber and electronic threats from our adversaries.

 

You will develop and deploy advanced cloud enabled combat systems that make up Spectral, leveraging the most advanced DevSecOps technologies available. Spectral is not only delivering ground-breaking capabilities to the warfighter today, but also building a modular distributed architecture that allows the system to rapidly evolve, deploy, and adapt to scale multi-echelon operations.

 

Creative solutioning and thinking outside the box to solve manual pain points for the warfighter through innovative engineering and rapid deployment of software running in production. Developing software technologies and leveraging first class tooling to generate high availability, low latency, fault tolerance, and scalability across multi-echelon distributed environments. As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer collaborate closely across Integrated Product Teams to optimize deployment pipelines, leverage automated infrastructure as code, and enhance the overall performance and reliability of the distributed Spectral system.


We are looking to fill multiple positions with an immediate start date
