Everforth ECS is seeking an Automation Development Engineer to join our team in Sierra Vista, AZ OR Remote.
Everforth ECS is seeking a Automation Development Engineer who can bridge the gap between "scripting for today" and "architecting for tomorrow." Our program has expanded its custom code repository and applications, and we need a seasoned professional to bring structure to our diverse verticals.
Responsibilities will include designing and implementing a standardized CI/CD pipeline and formalizing our existing development infrastructure. Within our program, much of our current automation is maintained by various personnel. We look for a candidate to serve as the "center of excellence"standardizing tools, mentoring others, and ensuring our growth is scalable. As a team member, will transition from designing and implementing a DevOps practice and tooling to migrating our existing automation, applications, and processes to the new DevOps practice and tools.
The candidate will be challenged with taking multiple internal verticals in various states of DevSecOps development into a single unified architecture that is known throughout the program. This isn't a role where you simply follow a manual. You are being hired to write the manual. You will have the authority to shape how our program handles code and infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure Formalization & Standards:
Audit and unify disparate, loosely-structured scripts and environments into a cohesive, production-grade infrastructure.
Establish "best practice" patterns for internal personnel who script/program, acting as the technical lead for automation standards.
Configuration as Code:
Develop, document, and maintain custom Ansible collections to standardize configuration management across the enterprise.
Transition ad-hoc scripts into reusable, modular, and version-controlled automation.
Pipeline & CI/CD Development:
Design and deploy a formal DevOps pipeline to support a multi-language environment (Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, Bash, etc.).
Implement automated testing and validation gates to ensure code quality from non-professional coders.
Application Development & Orchestration:
Build and maintain scalable applications in customer supported languages based on requirements of selected solution decomposition.
Manage and optimize complex workflow orchestration using Apache Airflow.
Salary Range: $170,000 - $200,000
ECS gained market share in 2011 in the Department of Defense and Federal spaces through both organic and acquisition growth. In May, ECS completed its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of OAK Management, Inc., a leading provider of marine environmental services, ship systems engineering, maritime consulting and platform acquisition management. The OAK acquisition kicked off ECS’ intention to add tactical acquisitions as a part of its long term strategy to supplement and expand upon organic growth and to build enterprise value. ECS closed out 2011 with the acquisition of Paradigm Technologies, Inc. The Paradigm transaction added approximately 200 employees to ECS’ existing 900+ employees. Paradigm also added new Defense clients for ECS, including the Missile Defense Agency, the Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Integrated Warfare Systems, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
In 2012, ECS completed the acquisition of iLuMinA Solutions, Inc. iLuMinA brings large-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation and infrastructure design and development to ECS’ expanding capabilities.
ECS will continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and quality processes as we grow and enhance our ability to offer professional excellence to both our customers and our employees.
