IT Engineer (DevOps Engineer)
Position Summary
OKSI is seeking an IT Engineer to join our Information Technology team. In this role, the incumbent will design, build, and continuously improve the infrastructure that supports secure software delivery across OKSI's defense and aerospace programs — CI/CD pipelines, hardened Linux environments, multi-cloud infrastructure spanning AWS GovCloud and Azure Government, container and artifact management, and the automation that lets development teams move quickly without compromising compliance. This is a hands-on technical role for a self-driven engineer who takes ownership of the systems they build and plays a central role in standing up and sustaining NIST 800-171 compliant infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) across multiple software programs.
- Build and maintain hardened Linux baselines (RHEL, Alma, Ubuntu); own configuration management and patching.
- Manage and optimize infrastructure across AWS GovCloud (primary) and Microsoft Azure Government.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation) with version-controlled, auditable changes.
- Administer Docker-based container workflows and artifact/image repositories (Nexus, Harbor).
- Implement secure secrets and encryption key management across the provisioning and delivery lifecycle.
- Configure monitoring, alerting, and centralized logging (Grafana, Prometheus, or Elastic/ELK).
- Build and enforce security controls aligned with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171; support ITAR/EAR handling requirements.
