Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Senior Network Automation Engineer supporting AFRICOM J6, you will serve as a critical enabler for the AI and Automation team.
- This role is at the forefront of modernizing defense IT services, operating within a containerized DevSecOps environment to replace manual, inconsistent networking tasks with secure, resilient, and Zero-Trust compliant automated solutions.
- You will build interoperable automation pipelines leveraging Python, Ansible, and RESTful APIs that interface with both legacy enterprise tools and emerging AI platforms.
- This is a unique opportunity to act as a technical pioneer, translating high-level Department of Defense (DoD) CDAO and FULCRUM strategies into tactical, day-to-day engineering realities that drastically reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and improve the overall security posture of the J6 network.
- Infrastructure Automation & Scripting: Develop, maintain, and execute Ansible playbooks and Python scripts within containerized environments to automate routine network configuration, deployments, and compliance validation.
- API Development & Integration: Design and manage secure RESTful APIs (utilizing FastAPI) to ensure seamless interoperability between enterprise tools (ServiceNow, SolarWinds, Cisco IES, Password Vaults) and future AI-driven endpoints.
- DevSecOps & CI/CD Pipeline Management: Champion the software development lifecycle by leveraging tools like GitLab for repository management, Jenkins for automated testing, and Nexus for artifact deployment, ensuring secure and agile code delivery.
- Network & Security Operations: Apply strong networking fundamentals to manage data routing, log scoping, and system monitoring (e.g., Elastic SIEM), while ensuring solutions align with Zero Trust architecture and cyber policy requirements.
- Cross-Platform Systems Engineering: Provide bridging support across environments by applying foundational Windows administration concepts (MECM, LDAPS, Domain Controllers) to ensure holistic C4 network health and automated provisioning.
