Site Reliability Engineer- TS/SCI w/poly
About The Position
GDIT is hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to support enterprise IT operations and mission-essential communications. The role focuses on improving delivery speed and reliability while protecting production from defective, insecure, or non-compliant code. The engineer will establish and publish service-level objectives and indicators, enforce error-budget policies, conduct blameless post-mortems, track DORA metrics, and initiate stabilization sprints when error budgets are depleted. The position develops technology-transfer and sustainment mechanisms for platforms and services, monitors CMDB discovery and performance analytics jobs, and documents validation and remediation. It applies infrastructure as code, configuration as code, automation, and Terraform to build and manage CI/CD pipelines and provision, configure, and secure compute, storage, and networking across C2E providers. The engineer also supports Tableau Server in a highly available multi-node cluster and uses Splunk and Tableau for integrated observability. The role includes technical support, performance monitoring, and engineering analysis for operational software and infrastructure; automated provisioning and storage lifecycle practices; and integration of centralized monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing with HelpNow health indicators and performance objectives. Blue-green and canary deployment patterns are used to limit the impact of releases. This is an onsite role in Chantilly, Virginia, with less than 10% travel and 40 scheduled weekly hours.
Requirements
- 8 or more years of related experience.
- BA/BS degree or equivalent.
- Must currently possess TS/SCI with polygraph clearance.
- U.S. citizenship required.
- Skills in complex systems, systems development, and systems management.
Responsibilities
- Shorten delivery lead time and increase deployment frequency while preventing defective, insecure, or non-compliant code from reaching production and keeping error budgets intact.
- Publish service-level objectives (SLOs) and service-level indicators (SLIs), enforce error-budget policies, and conduct blameless post-mortems with corrective actions and verification of effectiveness.
- Track DORA metrics monthly and run stabilization sprints when error budgets are depleted.

- Collaborate with Tableau subject-matter experts to deploy and optimize Tableau Server across a highly available, multi-node cluster using IaC.
- Use IaC and automation to maintain highly available, resilient infrastructure supporting mission-essential communications, including integrated observability displays using Splunk and Tableau.
- Provide technical support, performance monitoring, and engineering analysis for operational software and infrastructure.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines using IaC and CaC with Terraform to provision, configure, and secure compute, storage, and networking services across C2E providers.
- Apply automated right-sized provisioning, lifecycle-based storage tiering, and scans for unused object storage to support decommissioning and operating efficiency.
- Integrate centralized monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing into pipelines and connect the observability framework to HelpNow system health indicators and performance objectives.
- Apply blue-green and canary deployment patterns to control and limit the blast radius of released changes.
