Configuration Manager

Tetrad Digital Integrity (TDI) is a leading-edge cybersecurity firm with a mission to safeguard and protect our customers from increasing threats and vulnerabilities in this digital age.

Join TDI as we stand up a brand-new Agile development team at the forefront of federal IT modernization, delivering real digital transformation where it matters most. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to architect, build, and integrate cutting-edge infrastructure solutions in support of some of our nation’s most sensitive and critical missions. The Configuration Manager will ensure baseline control, deployment coordination, and release governance across a complex environment . This role blends hands‑on technical understanding with strong process leadership to coordinate delivery across engineering, DevOps, test, cyber, infrastructure, operations, product management, customer stakeholders, and partner teams.

This is a fully onsite opportunity requiring a daily commute to the Washington, DC area. An active TS/SCI security clearance is required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead end‑to‑end configuration management across all environments (dev through IL5/IL6 production).
• Own CM plans, release procedures, baseline controls, governance models, and change workflows.
• Manage release calendars, cadences, readiness criteria, deployment windows, cutover and rollback planning, and post‑release validation.
• Coordinate release planning and execution across engineering, DevOps, cloud, data, test, cyber, IA, operations, network automation, service management, and customer teams.
• Facilitate release readiness reviews, configuration control boards, go/no‑go reviews, and retrospectives.
• Ensure release packages are complete, reviewed, documented, traceable, and approved (code, infrastructure changes, configs, test evidence, security scans, deployment instructions, rollback plans, release notes).
• Maintain traceability across requirements, defects, risks, and changes using Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and associated CI/CD tools.
• Manage configuration control for software, scripts, data pipelines, dashboards, integrations, IaC, automation workflows, interfaces, COTS/FOSS components, and runbooks.
• Maintain environment baselines for non‑prod, simulators, test environments, IL5/IL6 targets, and operational systems.
• Partner with DevOps to ensure CI/CD pipelines support controlled promotion with proper versioning, approval gates, automated tests, and artifact retention.
• Coordinate DoD‑aligned security requirements, STIG configurations, vulnerability remediation, privileged access controls, and audit evidence.
• Manage release impacts across mission‑critical capabilities (event processing, monitoring, cyber, automation, analytics, integrations).
• Oversee release and configuration coordination for AWS IL5/IL6 platforms and tools such as Elastic/Kibana, Kafka, Logstash, Databricks, ServiceNow, Watson AIOps, Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and network/cyber data sources.
• Identify and manage release risks, dependencies, blockers, environment constraints, and coordination gaps.
• Provide timely status reporting on scope, readiness, risks, defects, deployment progress, and outcomes.
• Develop release dashboards, metrics, decision briefs, and health indicators.
• Support audits, customer reviews, engineering reviews, and readiness assessments through accurate CM records and release evidence.
• Drive continuous improvement of CM and release processes.
• Provide CM and release training, mentoring, and guidance across engineering and operations teams.
• Coordinate with external partners and adjacent systems on integration planning, data dependencies, release alignment, and interoperability.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Active DoD TS/SCI security clearance. Ability to pass additional customer suitability screening(s) prior to start.
• Current Security+ or equivalent/higher.
• Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent experience.
• Experience leading or supporting configuration management (CM), change management, deployment coordination, or baseline management for complex cloud, software, or mission systems, including developing CM/release plans, change control processes, deployment/rollback plans, and release documentation.
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional release planning, readiness, approval, deployment, and validation across multiple environments.
• Experience with Agile/DevOps workflows and tools, including Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket/Git, and related traceability and versioning tools.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, artifact management, branching strategies, automated testing, and promotion pipelines.
• Ability to understand complex systems and coordinate dependencies, risks, impacts, and stakeholder decisions.
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple releases, anticipate issues, close actions, resolve gaps, and maintain discipline in fast-paced environments.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with DoD network or cyber operations, including AWS/AWS GovCloud and IL5/IL6 environments.
• Experience supporting releases for data pipelines, analytics, observability, monitoring, automation, or service-management tools, including configuration management for IaC, COTS/FOSS, security configurations, APIs, dashboards, schemas, and deployment manifests.
• Experience with ServiceNow ITSM and change processes, including facilitating CCBs, CABs, and readiness or approval reviews.
• Experience supporting compliance, STIGs, vulnerability remediation, security scan evidence, or DoD cyber processes.

PAY RANGE:
The anticipated salary range for this position is $130,000 - $145,000. This range is a good-faith estimate and not a guarantee of compensation. Final compensation will be based on factors including experience, education, skills, geographic location, internal equity, market data and applicable contract requirements, and may fall outside the posted range.
