• Maintain compliance with relevant standards and complete audits.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bamboo).
• Manage infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Ansible).
• Support containerization and orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Troubleshoot and optimize build, test, and deploy workflows in collaboration with developers.
• Onboard and offboard employees, ensuring access and hardware are provisioned/decommissioned.
• Maintain clear technical documentation, diagrams, and SOPs for IT and DevOps processes.
• Educate team members on IT best practices, security awareness, and tool usage.

• Demonstrated ability to design scalable, fault-tolerant IT/DevOps infrastructure.
• Strong collaboration skills with software engineering teams and comfort in agile environments.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
