POSITION OVERVIEW
The Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) is an innovative, open-source military simulation framework used extensively by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and related communities. Managed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFSIM supports scenario creation, analytical work, and virtual wargaming, benefiting from a collaborative user community across the military, government, industry, academia, and international partners. To enhance AFSIM's growth, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) is establishing a Model Management Office (MMO).
In this cutting-edge new MMO the DevOps Engineer shall advise or assist in the design, implementation, maintenance, and management of infrastructure, practices, and tools that realize MMO Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) environment while guiding the development and evolution of shared platforms and services that support the continued development and maintenance of critical MMO products and services in collaboration with end users and sponsors at multiple classification levels.
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTION
Resource Provisioning
Configure, provision, and manage infrastructure and services required for the development (and/or deployment) of MMO products and services
Adopt or adapt the principles and practices communicated in the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Reference Design to suit MMO products and services. Infrastructure resources may include virtual machines, containers, or multi-cloud environments (to include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud)
Ensure that infrastructure resources meet scalability, reliability, cost, and performance objectives as conveyed by application development or operations teams
Configuration Management
Manage the configuration of infrastructure and services to ensure consistent management and operation across deployment contexts (e.g., development, test, production) and classification domains
Manage versions, configurations, and automation scripts in accordance with modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration as Code (CaC) practices
Ensure that any configuration artifacts essential to the continued development and maintenance of MMO products and services remain accessible and usable by downstream DevOps teams
Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD)
Instrumentation and Continuous Inspection
Advise or assist in the design, implementation, maintenance, and management of platform, product, and process metrics. Implementation includes the configuration of tools, instrumentation, and dashboards (i.e., 31 common, recognizable, tool -driven process representations such as burn-down/up charts, control charts, cumulative flow diagrams, heat maps, etc...) to provide timely insights into performance or the identification and prevention of potential issues
Advise or assist in the automated collection and presentation of:
Platform performance metrics associated with the health of infrastructure and services to support capacity and capability planning or identify and resolve service reliability and availability issues
Product quality metrics associated with factors such as functionality (e.g., correctness, completeness, unit-test coverage, integration-test coverage, acceptance-test coverage), modifiability (e.g., dependency cycle, modularity, conformity, efferent/afferent coupling, module/package/class cohesion), simplicity (e.g., inheritance depth, module/package/class/function size, cyclomatic complexity), stability (e.g., exception handling, robustness tests, scale tests, load tests), or security (e.g., vulnerability and weakness enumeration, memory safety)
Agile/lean process quality metrics that emphasize speed, cycle time, and quality associated with factors such as planning (i.e., a completion ratio), velocity, capacity, cycle time (i.e., time from requirement capture to delivery), build frequency, deployment frequency, and defects identified or outstanding
Security and Compliance
Coordinate with cybersecurity engineers and managers to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical platforms and MMO products and services
Advise or assist in the implementation of both technical and policy controls to ensure compliance with applicable security policy and regulations
Advise or assist in the design, implementation, maintenance, and effective management of cross-domain workflows that incorporate Controlled Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret, SCI, and SAP information sources
Incident Response
Coordinate with cybersecurity engineers and managers to restore the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of critical platforms and MMO products and services during training events, tabletop exercises, or real-world incidents
Contribute to post-incident reports to support continuous improvement processes.
