A funded Senior DevOps Engineer opportunity supporting NSA intelligence authoring and dissemination tool modernization at Annapolis Junction, MD (135 National Business Parkway). This is a hands-on individual contributor role requiring 8+ years of production DevOps experience, with deep expertise in Docker/Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, and ELK stack administration in classified Linux environments. Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph — no exceptions, no waivers. The position is primarily onsite with up to one telework day per week at project discretion; there is no travel and no relocation assistance, so local or locally-committed candidates only. On-call rotation is mandatory at approximately one weekend per month. Compensation ranges from $160,000 to $200,000. Ideal candidates come from NSA, NGA, or NRO contractor programs (Leidos, Booz Allen, SAIC, Peraton) with hands-on Kubernetes and ELK at scale in air-gapped or classified cloud environments.
