Department

Information Technology

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; it 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.
