DevOps/API Developer

About This Role

Designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, API integrations, and infrastructure for a hybrid environment is the core of this role, supporting mission-critical government clients. This position bridges the gap between development teams and IT operations, ensuring seamless integration between on-premises data centers and government cloud footprints (AWS and Azure). The goal is to automate processes, build robust application interfaces, minimize downtime, and accelerate the delivery of secure, high-quality software.

Responsibilities

• Design and manage end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that deploy software consistently across local servers and cloud environments
• Use DevOps tools to ensure local hardware and cloud environments are managed as code
• Design, build, document, and maintain secure, scalable RESTful APIs, microservices, and web services to enable seamless integration between on-premises applications, cloud-native services, and third-party systems
• Manage and monitor the networking, API request routing, and data synchronization between on-prem storage and cloud-native services
• Leverage site-reliability best practices to ensure continuous service delivery, API resilience, and high-availability across hybrid environments
• Embed security scanning, compliance checks, API authentication protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0, SAML, API keys), and rate-limiting directly into the development lifecycle
• Demonstrate a strong commitment to automation, consistently identifying opportunities to replace manual workflows with scalable, programmatic solutions and automated API integrations
• Exhibit excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between engineering complexities and business objectives
• Maintain composure and provide clear leadership during high-pressure system outages, API failures, or production incidents

Requirements

• Active government security clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3-5 years of progressive experience
• Active CompTIA Security+ CE certification (or higher DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II compliant certification, such as CYSA+, GSEC, or CISSP)
• Proven experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Strong background in API engineering, including experience with API gateways, Open API/Swagger specifications, and web service protocols
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation)
• Hands-on scripting and programming capabilities (e.g., Python, Bash, Go, or Node.js)

Benefits

• Paid time off
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
