Everforth ECS is seeking a Senior CI/CD Pipeline Engineer to work in the National Capital Region covering the Pentagon, Falls Church, and Fairfax. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

The War Data Platform (WDP) is a key initiative within the U.S. Department of War's (DoW) AI-First strategy introduced in early 2026. The WDP focuses on operational warfighting data and aims to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) on the battlefield. The WDP extends to Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments, and supports collaboration between Combatant Commands, Joint Staff directorates, Senior Executive Service leaders, and operational analysts.

  • This role leads operations and validation of AI and machine-learning model-serving pipelines across Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret mission environments, sustaining enterprise delivery reliability and enclave-parity configuration management across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS for WDP Core Integration model deployment workflows.
  • Leads operations and validation of artificial intelligence and machine-learning model-serving pipelines across Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret mission environments, advancing enterprise delivery reliability for War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration model deployment workflows.
  • Operates enclave-specific pipeline executions, validates artifact behavior under enclave constraints, and maintains technical parity across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS environments through coordinated configuration management, dependency alignment, and security control consistency.
  • Executes five to ten model or service promotions per month across multiple networks using cross-domain transfer mechanisms, release orchestration patterns, and enclave-tailored packaging logic meeting mission assurance standards.
  • Implements automated scanning, packaging, and deployment workflows using GitLab CI, Argo Workflows, Kubernetes, container hardening tools, software composition analysis platforms, and model artifact registries to detect vulnerabilities, integration bottlenecks, and configuration deviations.
  • Integrates test and evaluation gates into deployment workflows to maintain developmental rigor, reliability, and operational readiness of production-serving components.
  • Collaborates with platform engineering, cybersecurity engineering, and cross-domain solution teams to coordinate enclave-specific deployments and resolve constraints affecting artifact mobility and network interoperability.
  • Provides Tier-4 support for defect remediation, deployment failures, security scanning anomalies, and enclave-specific incidents within SIPR and JWICS operational pipelines.
  • Develops release documentation, enclave architecture mappings, operational diagrams, and reliability metrics that strengthen model-serving resilience, accelerate deployment throughput, and advance War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration program value across all mission networks.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.

About the Company

ECS Federal LLC

ECS was founded in 2001 by experienced IT professionals with a commitment to quality processes, people and performance. Led by our Chairman, Roy Kapani, and an experienced executive leadership team, ECS provides our customers with solutions and services that support their critical needs and further mission objectives. This commitment has paved the way for expansive growth, year over year.

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.
