  • Troubleshoot CI/CD pipeline failures, container issues, Kubernetes deployment problems, and integration challenges.

  • Support the migration of scientific applications from on-premises environments to cloud platforms.

  • Implement Infrastructure as Code and configuration-management practices used to automate environment provisioning and application deployment.

  • Research, evaluate, implement, and document new cloud, DevOps, and automation technologies introduced into the environment.

  • Support the implementation and modernization of application platforms and their underlying technology stacks.

  • Work with information-security teams to implement cybersecurity updates and technical security requirements.

  • Support project collaboration and development workflows using Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and related technologies.

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation supporting deployments, troubleshooting, operations, and knowledge sharing.

  • Collaborate with technical teams to improve automation, reliability, repeatability, and deployment efficiency.

  • Perform other related engineering responsibilities as assigned.

What You Will Bring

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.

  • 2–4 years of professional experience supporting cloud migration, DevOps, software engineering, or scientific application environments.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
