Clearance Requirements: None

Position Status: Contract

Pay Rate: $60/hr W2

Position Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer to support a large-scale modernization of on-premises infrastructure in Raleigh, NC. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who thrives in automation-driven environments and enjoys collaborating across development and operations teams.

This position is approximately 60% infrastructure automation and 40% development/scripting, with a strong emphasis on PowerShell scripting, CI/CD pipeline engineering, and enterprise systems administration.

You will play a key role in modernizing legacy environments, migrating “Classic” pipelines to YAML, upgrading enterprise servers, and contributing to next-generation initiatives including AI infrastructure build-out. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who can design solutions, develop implementation roadmaps, and execute complex technical projects independently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement infrastructure automation solutions using PowerShell and Desired State Configuration (DSC)
• Administer and modernize Windows Server (2022+) and Ubuntu Linux (24) environments
• Build, maintain, and migrate Azure DevOps Server (on-premises) CI/CD pipelines from Classic to YAML
• Develop and support .NET web applications across WebForms, MVC, Razor Pages, and Blazor (Server and WASM)
• Manage IIS, Active Directory, certificate management, networking, and enterprise security configurations
• Implement containerization solutions using Docker and Docker Compose
• Support source control and package management using Git, NuGet, and NPM
• Configure logging, environment settings, and SQL Server integrations
• Lead technical initiatives including server upgrades, infrastructure hardening, and deployment automation
• Create detailed technical documentation, implementation plans, and project timelines
• Present new technologies and architectural approaches to cross-functional teams
• Collaborate closely with developers, operations teams, and stakeholders to evaluate and implement scalable solutions

Desired Skills:

• Windows Server 2022+, Windows 11 desktop administration
• Ubuntu Linux 24 administration
• Active Directory, IIS configuration, certificate management
• Networking, machine configuration, and security administration
• SQL Server database integration
• PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell 5
• Desired State Configuration (DSCv1 and DSCv3)
• Strong scripting and automation engineering experience
• Azure DevOps Server (On-Premises)
• Build pipelines, deployment groups/environments
• CI/CD pipeline engineering (Classic and YAML)
• Git-based source control workflows
• .NET / .NET Framework
• WebForms, MVC, Razor Pages, Blazor (Server & WASM)
• Configuration management and application logging
• NuGet and NPM package management

Project & Communication Skills:

• Experience leading multi-week and multi-month technical projects
• Strong documentation and implementation planning skills
• Ability to present technical concepts and drive cross-team alignment
• Self-starter with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities

Why This Role Stands Out:

• High-impact modernization initiative
• Enterprise-level DevOps transformation work
• Significant ownership and technical autonomy
• Opportunity to influence infrastructure strategy and automation standards
• Collaborative environment that values innovation and continuous improvement
