The Opportunity:
CACI is seeking a skilled CI/CD Pipeline SME to lead the development, standardization, and implementation of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines across multiple program areas within the Department of State. This critical role supports DevSecOps initiatives and plays a central part in modernizing application delivery through automation and repeatable deployment processes.

The CI/CD Pipeline SME will be responsible for building and maintaining automated pipelines that support multiple .NET environments, writing build and deployment scripts, and integrating industry-standard tools for testing, scanning, and compliance. The role involves close collaboration with developers, testers, security, and operations staff to ensure robust, secure, and efficient software delivery.

Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to support enterprise .NET environments.
• Automate build, integration, testing, and deployment workflows across Dev, Test, Staging, and Production environments.
• Write and maintain build and deployment scripts to ensure consistency and repeatability.
• Integrate testing tools (e.g., Selenium), code quality analysis (e.g., SonarQube), and security scanners (e.g., Fortify) into pipelines.
• Support the installation, configuration, and administration of CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and Azure DevOps.
• Develop and enforce policies, standards, and governance related to CI/CD operations and tooling.
• Provide onboarding, training, and ongoing support to development teams on source control, CI/CD processes, merge conflict resolution, and deployment standards.
• Contribute to DevSecOps practices by enabling automated security testing and secure release pipelines.
• Troubleshoot pipeline-related issues and maintain baseline CI/CD pipeline templates.
• Produce supporting documentation and deliverables to support process standardization and knowledge transfer.

Qualifications:

Required: 
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university; advanced degree preferred.
• A minimum of ten (10) years of related experience in software development, DevOps, or systems engineering.
• Experience designing, documenting, and developing CI/CD pipelines for complex enterprise software systems.
• Experience automating configuration processes using tools such as PowerShell DSC.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Microsoft Azure DevOps or Jenkins, including installation, administration, and user training.
• Experience supporting automated CI/CD testing and deployment in .NET environments.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, including working with product backlogs and Product Owners.
• Experience integrating compliance and security tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify) into CI/CD workflows.

Desired:

• Microsoft certifications related to DevOps or Azure DevOps.
• Experience integrating automated test frameworks such as Selenium into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience designing and supporting DevSecOps environments, including code repositories, binary repositories, CI/CD tools, and error tracking systems.
• Demonstrated ability to train and support development teams in modern DevOps practices.
• Experience managing and grooming Agile product backlogs in collaboration with development and stakeholder teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in technical documentation and developer support.
