This is also a unique growth opportunity within DPG. You would be the first DPG employee supporting this program in Virginia, helping establish our presence with the customer and creating a strong foundation for future growth.

You will work alongside infrastructure, software, cybersecurity, and mission teams to modernize and operate secure systems in a classified environment. The ideal candidate brings strong Linux administration experience, a DevSecOps mindset, and the ability to troubleshoot across the stack.

Develop and maintain automation using tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Bash, and Python.
Support CI/CD tooling and developer platforms, including Git, Bitbucket, Artifactory, Jira, and related pipeline tools.
Work with virtualization and platform technologies such as VMware ESXi, vCenter, Rancher, Kubernetes, and containerized services.
Integrate security and compliance into the platform through access management, encryption, vulnerability remediation, configuration control, and secure deployment practices.
Collaborate with software, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and mission stakeholders to deliver reliable and secure technical solutions.
Provide operational support for mission systems, including troubleshooting applications, Linux services, infrastructure, and deployment issues.
Support storage and infrastructure operations, including NAS, SAN, and related enterprise systems.
Required Qualifications
7 to 10 years of experience in Linux systems administration, DevOps, DevSecOps, infrastructure engineering, or platform operations.
Strong hands-on experience administering Red Hat Linux systems with minimal supervision.
Experience with RHEL provisioning, kickstart, patching, Satellite servers, RPM package creation, performance tuning, networking, user management, hardening, and troubleshooting.
Experience with Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages.
Experience with automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or similar frameworks.
Experience with VMware ESXi, vCenter, Rancher, Kubernetes, containers, or similar platform technologies.
Experience with CI/CD and developer tools such as Git, Bitbucket, Artifactory, Jira, and pipeline automation tools.
Experience troubleshooting applications and infrastructure services running on Linux-based systems.
Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Desired Qualifications
Experience developing, testing, securing, and delivering applications within a DevSecOps framework.
Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Rancher, or Helm.
Experience supporting secure software factories, hardened pipelines, or mission application environments.
Experience with AWS, GovCloud, or hybrid cloud environments.
Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, Packer, or Ansible.
Experience with STIGs, vulnerability remediation, access controls, RMF, or compliance-driven environments.
Experience working in Agile environments using Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a technical owner who understands how systems are built, how they fail, how to automate repeatable work, and how to keep secure mission environments stable and scalable.
This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys hands-on engineering, wants visibility with the customer, and is excited by the opportunity to help DPG grow into a new program area. You will have the chance to make a direct impact technically while helping establish DPG’s reputation as a trusted partner in Virginia.
