• Help configure and troubleshoot workloads, services, namespaces, ConfigMaps, Secrets, storage, networking, and access controls.
• Monitor pipeline and deployment results; review logs and system health information; document issues; and support corrective actions.
• Assist with container and dependency scanning, vulnerability remediation tracking, software bills of materials, and release evidence.
• Support DISA and other DoW customer deployment activities by collecting environment information, executing documented procedures, and escalating technical issues.
• Develop and maintain setup instructions, deployment checklists, troubleshooting notes, release documentation, and other technical guides.

• Familiarity with Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Ansible, Terraform, or comparable automation and infrastructure tools.
• Exposure to security scanning, vulnerability management, software bills of materials, artifact signing, container registries, or software supply chain practices.
• Familiarity with REST APIs, JSON, PKI, mutual TLS, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, or enterprise identity and access management concepts.
