  • Integrate automation with ServiceNow, Git/GitLab, Red Hat Satellite, Splunk, Dynatrace, vulnerability-management platforms, and monitoring tools. Maintain GitLab CI/CD, GitOps, configuration-as-code practices, and Docker container operations.
  • Implement and automate DISA STIG configurations, ACAS remediation, Linux hardening, and compliance activities supporting RMF and NIST SP 800-53 controls.
  • Maintain architecture diagrams, operational procedures, configuration records, and recovery instructions. Mentor Tier I and Tier II personnel in administration, troubleshooting, escalation, and customer support.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
