• Infrastructure automation
• Software development tool administration

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience migrating on-premises applications from Windows environments to Docker containers running on Red Hat Linux, automating virtual machine deployments, and developing middleware and applications to support engineering tool integration. The engineer will also support DevSecOps initiatives, maintain continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and develop Python-based web and desktop applications to improve the management and functionality of software development environments. This is a highly technical, hands-on position requiring independent problem-solving, infrastructure modernization experience, and the ability to collaborate with engineering teams across multiple projects.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field from an accredited institution.
• Minimum of 5 years of related software engineering, software infrastructure, or development environment experience.
• Strong hands-on Python programming experience, including development of automation scripts, applications, or infrastructure management tools.
• Practical experience with Docker, including deploying, configuring, maintaining, or migrating containerized applications.
• Strong Linux proficiency, including command-line operations, troubleshooting, scripting, and working with Linux-based development environments.
• Experience supporting software development infrastructure, engineering toolsets, or server-based applications.
• Understanding of software development lifecycle processes, version control, and CI/CD practices.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues and independently manage engineering priorities.
• Strong communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Requirements

• Experience with Docker Swarm and container orchestration.
• Experience administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) environments.
• Experience installing, configuring, upgrading, or administering Atlassian Data Center products, including Jira, Bitbucket, and Confluence.
• Experience migrating on-premises applications from Windows servers to Linux-based container environments.
• Linux or Windows server administration experience.
• Experience automating virtual machine creation, configuration, and deployment.
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline development, DevSecOps practices, and software assurance tool integration.
• Familiarity with Java, Groovy, JSON, SQL, and middleware development.
• Experience supporting compilers, build systems, version control platforms, and other software engineering infrastructure.
• Experience developing web-based or desktop GUI applications using Python.
• Familiarity with UML, CMMI Level 3 processes, and formal software engineering methodologies.
• Experience supporting embedded software development environments, preferably within automotive, commercial vehicle, or other complex engineering industries.

Benefits

• Remote Position: Candidates may work remotely. Proximity to Oshkosh or Madison, Wisconsin, is preferred but not required.
• Hours: Typically 40–45 hours per week, with core availability between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Central Time.
• After-Hours Support: Occasional evening or weekend work may be required for planned maintenance, system migrations, or infrastructure updates, approximately once every two to three weeks.
• Contract Duration: Through June 2027, with the possibility of extension.
• Interview Process: One virtual panel interview conducted through Microsoft Teams.
