Required: TS/SCI security clearance

​​​​​​Onyx Point 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 Senior DevSecOps Engineer role is in support of the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year $1.2B program to provide the U.S. Navy's next-generation signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and information operations software technologies. The Spectral system is critical to the ability for our forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber and electronic threats of our adversaries.
What You’ll Get to Do:
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.

More About the Role:
As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you will have the opportunity to foster a pattern of continuous improvement within our Distributed Operations and Remoting Services team for Spectral. This team provides the powerful capability for Spectral capabilities to be used across multiple platforms, and to share information with remote sites dramatically expanding the power of the system. Our DevSecOps Engineers work within an Agile development team leveraging scaled agile practices to rapidly deliver incremental software solutions to our customer’s, focused on ideation, development, quality, deployment, and sustainment of high-quality software products. This is a role where you will be a resident practitioner, forward leaning in engineering approaches to solve for the next problem to ensure the Spectral system outpaces our adversaries’ capabilities. This position is for an innovative team contributor, with remote and hybrid work, who will perform key responsibilities as:
 

• • Deploy highly available and scalable infrastructure as code across distributed cloud and on-prem data centers.
  • Deploy distributed databases and message queues technologies like Kafka, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.
  • Automation and repeatable CI/CD for distributed environments.
  • Zero-downtime strategy employment for blue-green type deployments in distributed environment.
  • Continuous authority to field CI/CD pipeline technologies to support distributed application deployment.
  • Infrastructure as code provisioning for operating in distributed environments with leveraging tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible, Helm charts to reduce downtime.
  • Implement health and status remoting capabilities across distributed environments.
  • Enable optimized networking solutions in distributed environments using VPNs, VPC peering, and service mesh technologies.
  • Ensure compliance with data dissemination for distributed systems like JICD.
  • Knowledgeable in employing best security and encryption practices and tools for scaled distributed systems.
  • Implement chaos engineering practices to continuously improve fault tolerance across distributed environments.
  • Employ modular container orchestration across distributed impact levels and environments.
  • Deploy air gap technologies for distributed environments at multiple impact levels.
  • Knowledge in implementing and leveraging automated cross domain solutions to enable continuous authority to field software packages in distributed environments.
  • Facilitate cross team communications, mentorship, and provide senior level guidance in software application designs.
