At geocgi we pride ourselves on not losing our focus. We started out and remain GIS experts (or geeks. . . depending on your perspective).

We are a talented, hardworking group that share values and characteristics that drive client, professional, and personal success. Geocgi is looking for a skilled DevSecOps / Platform Engineer to support our client, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Supreme Allied Command Transformation (SACT) onsite in Norfolk, Virginia.

• Implement Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and observability practices, including monitoring, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing.
• Support high-throughput, service-oriented architectures with a focus on resilient and scalable deployments.
• Deliver incremental capabilities in Agile and DevSecOps environments (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban).
• Design and manage secure networking and service mesh solutions (TLS, Istio, Linkerd, API gateways) for reliable service-to-service communication.
• Apply zero-trust principles and compliance automation to enforce security policies and validate system compliance.
• Manage identity, access, and secrets using modern, secure approaches (tokens, certificates, least-privilege access controls).
