DevOps Engineer (TS/SCI with Polygraph)

Location: On-Site in Chantilly, VA | 24/7 Mission Environment

Required Clearance: Active TS/SCI with Polygraph

Evans & Chambers Technology (EC)

Evans & Chambers Technology is seeking a senior DevOps Engineer to support a large-scale (200+ FTE) technical development program delivering modern Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) solutions within a classified environment.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a build-and-modernize role.

You will help architect, automate, deploy, and sustain secure cloud-native infrastructure supporting mission-critical systems operating 24/7/365. You’ll work within an Agile DevSecOps framework and play a key role across the full software development lifecycle — from architecture and design through deployment and operational support.

This position includes participation in an on-call rotation (approximately one full week every two months) to ensure operational continuity of privileged systems.

Establish, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines
Improve existing DevOps processes and toolchains to increase velocity and reliability
Deploy build artifacts across multiple environments using GitFlow constructs

Implement and manage AWS services (CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, etc.)
Perform Linux system administration and privileged access duties
Support container orchestration and scaling in production (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/ECS)
Ensure container registry security and DevSecOps best practices

Collaboration & Delivery

Partner with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and development teams to ensure user story alignment
Contribute to scope definition, estimation, architecture, and unit testing
Communicate technical insights clearly to both engineering and leadership stakeholders
Strengthen team cohesion and execution discipline across the program
