About The Role:
Expression is seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to support the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Federal Spectrum Data Systems (FSDS) program within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The FSDS program supports the modernization of federal spectrum management systems through improved technology, automation, data integration, and interoperability. These systems help NTIA manage federal spectrum use and support essential government missions.
As the DevOps lead for the program, you will design, implement, and maintain secure cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines supporting applications, data services, and analytics across Azure Commercial, Government, and Secret cloud environments.
