•    Active Top Secret clearance

QUALIFICATIONS

•    ITIL v4 Foundation certification

•    Experience integrating configuration management with monitoring, observability, or service management platforms

•    Exposure to SRE concepts such as SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and reliability engineering

•    Experience supporting regulated or mission-critical environments

•    Knowledge of network configuration management tools and automated discovery solutions

•    Familiarity with Splunk, Ansible, Tenable, or Microsoft enterprise environments

TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT

The selected candidate will operate within the following technology environment: Microsoft, Linux, Splunk, Ansible, Tenable, GEMS. Cloud environments include AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud. The environment spans traditional data center (bare metal), cloud, and hybrid cloud architectures.
