• Application Modification: Modify and troubleshoot system components built with Java Spring (back-end) and Vue.js (front-end) as needed to support deployment, configuration, and environment-specific requirements.
• Environment Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve issues spanning infrastructure, middleware, and application layers during environment standup and stabilization.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the existing DevOps team, software developers, and system engineers to align deployment practices with the broader RAD architecture and operational standards.

Required Experience:

• Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications with Kubernetes
• Experience developing or modifying applications built with Java / Spring (Spring Boot)
• Experience developing or modifying front-end applications built with Vue.js (or strong experience with a comparable framework such as React or Angular)
• Thorough understanding of Docker and container technology
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployments of distributed web applications (e.g., GitLab CI/CD)
• Linux administration experience
• Experience with Git
  

Desired Experience:

• • Experience deploying applications across multiple isolated or classified network environments
  • AWS experience, including cloud-native architecture and deployment
  • Terraform scripting and VM provisioning
  • Ansible scripting and development
  • Python scripting and development
  • Familiarity with Elasticsearch, NiFi, or MongoDB
  • Familiarity with domain knowledge surrounding government agency reporting and dissemination policies
