What Your Job Will Be Like:

Are you passionate about research and development that supports national security missions in a variety of high-impact areas? If so, you will want to apply for this opportunity to join a team of creative problem solvers in applying computer science and software engineering skills to help secure our nation!

The Enterprise IT Tools and Services Department is seeking an enthusiastic DevSecOps practitioner to help build custom software solutions to maintain and improve Sandia's complex IT environment. Our work directly influences the laboratories’ cyber environment. The entire corporation uses some of the applications developed by our team, while other applications have a very specific user base. Our primary product is a custom DHCP, DNS, and IP Address (DDI) system responsible for enabling automated configuration of more than 50 enterprise networks, as well as user account provisioning, asset tracking and security posture. We pride ourselves for our robust development processes, frequent customer engagement, and acceptance testing. We begin writing code early in a project's lifecycle and iterate until what we have developed meets the customer's needs.

To ensure software quality we use many agile development practices including continuous integration, collective code ownership, code review and paired programming. To this end the team needs an experienced DevSecOps member to help evolve our existing build and deployment pipelines.

All team members are involved and empowered to make big and small project decisions. We believe that great software is developed through collaboration. We support each other with a culture that encourages open developer questions, research, and communication.

Team members are expected to research and implement new technologies, which includes dedicated time for personal interest research that may not have immediate project applicability. In that regard members of our team are encouraged to attend relevant conferences and training. It is encouraged that they contribute their ideas to both open-source projects and the development community as part of their job duties. This emphasis allows for flexibility in the software, frameworks, and processes we use to deliver outstanding software. As a result, our team is often one of the first to introduce new development concepts to the laboratories.

Responsibilities will evolve based on the demands of user-facing applications and mission needs.

This position is eligible for telecommuting and the selected applicant must live within a reasonable distance for commuting to the assigned work location when necessary.

Qualifications We Require:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or other relevant field or related field plus five (5) years’ experience; or a master’s degree in a related field plus one (1) year of experience, or thirteen (13) years’ experience

• Professional experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) (e.g., .NET application deployment, Git, etc.)
• Professional experience with Azure DevOps (Server) or other automation platforms (e.g., GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
• Strong automation experience (e.g., PowerShell, REST API usage, configuration manage, etc.)
• The ability to acquire and maintain DOE Q level clearance

Qualifications We Desire:

• System administrator experience (e.g., DNS knowledge, Windows Server, IIS, IIS Express, Linux, Ansible, etc.)
• Application Development experience (e.g., .NET, dotnet, Node.js, Angular, etc.)

Security Clearance:

Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
