You will build and maintain deployment pipelines, automate infrastructure, support release and cutover activities, troubleshoot production issues, and help ensure systems remain secure, reliable, and audit-ready across IL5, IL6, and classified deployments. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in environments where change control is strict, access is limited, and operational rigor is critical.
Responsibilities
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows for federal environments

- Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, or similar infrastructure-as-code tools
- Maintain hardened infrastructure, configuration baselines, patching processes, and operational controls for restricted environments
- Troubleshoot complex deployment, infrastructure, application, and platform issues in coordination with Engineering and Security teams
- Build and maintain logging, monitoring, alerting, and operational telemetry to improve system visibility and reliability
- Support incident response, recovery, postmortems, and corrective actions for federal platform environments
- Partner with Engineering, QA, Security, and Product teams to improve deployment readiness, operability, and release quality
- Maintain runbooks, deployment documentation, operational procedures, and configuration records for federal systems
- Support continuous monitoring, audit readiness, and authorization activities by producing required technical evidence and artifacts
- Assist with vulnerability remediation, security hardening, compliance drift detection, and system configuration validation
- Use AI-assisted tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms to improve automation, troubleshooting, documentation, scripting, and operational efficiency
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, Release Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or a related technical role
- Hands-on experience deploying and operating systems in IL5, IL6, FedRAMP High, classified, or similarly restricted government environments
- Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, release automation, deployment workflows, and production change management
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or similar
- Experience with AWS GovCloud and/or Azure Government
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar languages
- Strong understanding of secure configuration, patching, logging, access control, and operational hardening practices
- Experience with observability, including logs, metrics, alerting, and production troubleshooting
- Familiarity with federal security and compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, RMF, DoD Cloud Computing SRG, and related operational controls
- Experience working in environments with strict change control, limited access, and formal release processes
- Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to diagnose issues across infrastructure, applications, networking, and deployment pipelines
- Ability and willingness to use AI-assisted tools effectively to support scripting, automation, troubleshooting, documentation, and operational analysis
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Keeper is FedRAMP authorized; therefore all applicants must be a U.S. Person
