Company Overview

CCG is a technology company focused on equipping customers with the capabilities and support to conduct intelligent and successful cyber operations. We do this by finding the most talented engineers and operators in the country, give them some of the most challenging problems facing the US government, and help them unleash their creativity and problem-solving skills. Excellence is our standard and mission success is our metric.

 

Role

This position is for a software engineer who is comfortable living at the intersection of how computer and software systems are intended to operate and how they actually operate. Surrounded by experts in a wide range of specialties, the engineer must be able to effectively operate autonomously, be it through independent investigation of issues, through communicating and collaborating with team members, recommending alternative courses of action, or announcing expected system maintenance actions and their impacts.

An ideal candidate will be both curious about solving problems and excited to disseminate knowledge gained from solving those problems. The candidate will need to be comfortable working from a shell environment in a virtual machine with connectivity to other network resources. A solid understanding of DNS, certificates, and Linux administration will provide a good basis for this work, as will containerized environments. An intermediate understanding of Kubernetes Clusters and Resources will also be a boon for this work.

 

Responsibilities

  • Consult and collaborate with team members to develop courses of action for issues without straightforward solutions
  • Apply, maintain, and encourage development, code, and testing standards
  • Identify and troubleshoot deployed off-the-shelf (and some custom) software services
  • Investigate and address reported user issues
  • Develop approaches for maintaining and patching running services
  • Maintain automated backups of service data
  • Monitor services for anomalies (via dashboards and notifications)
  • Facilitate version upgrades of services
    • Initiate backup/restore of service data
    • Database migrations
  • Work closely with service development teams
    • Understand and assist with deployments of new services
    • Become familiarized with operations of new services
    • Identify (and/or develop) improvements to maintenance automation
  • Communicate clearly with developers and users to plan upgrades and maintenance
  • Document upgrade processes
  • Document detailed logs of the specific operations performed during maintenance events
  • Develop and maintain schedule for security scanning and updates of applications
  • Participate in the planning and proposal process for improvements to services
  • Participate in reviews to vet incoming code and deployment changes

 

Required Qualifications

  • Current US TS/SCI security clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Degree requirement can be met with four years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, DevSecOps, software engineer or similar full time position
  • Must be able to demonstrate the ability to develop software based capabilities - this is typically achieved after a minimum of 5 years of full time industry experience and a bachelor’s degree 
  • Experience providing daily guidance and oversight to other engineers
  • Proficient in containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Podman)
  • Proficient with container orchestration using Kubernetes
  • Understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (Terraform preferred)
  • Comfortable and proficient in Linux-based development environments
  • Working knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)
  • Ability to collaborate as a team but execute independently
  • Comfortable in a high-trust, adaptable, team environment
  • General understanding of Cloud Infrastructure (Azure preferred)
  • General understanding of networking, DNS, proxies, and certificates
  • Familiarity with GitLab and GitLab Runners
  • Proficiency with Python

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • More than 5 years of industry experience in a DevSecOps or DevOps role
  • Experience deploying, updating, and maintaining production deployments of Kubernetes Clusters and Cluster-based applications
  • Experience with building container images, performing security scans, and remediating images
  • Experience communicating with customers and end-users

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Chameleon Consulting Group’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
