DevOps Engineer

About Reingold
Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.
 
We’re proud to say we’ve built a team of curious, passionate pros — from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists — who love what they do and bring their A-game every day. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We believe great ideas come from collaboration, humor, and a little bit of fun along the way.
 
When you work at Reingold, you get more than a job, you get a community. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, a dynamic hybrid work environment, a vibrant workplace and growth opportunities in a variety of specialty areas. That means when we find great people (and they find us), they stick around for the long term.
That’s where you come in... We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer who’s excited to build automation, streamline infrastructure, and make life easier for both developers and clients. In this role, you’ll help move code from development to production efficiently, reliably, and securely, working across multiple platforms, stacks, and cloud services in a fast-paced agency environment.
At Reingold, DevOps isn’t just a support function; it’s a key part of how we deliver high-quality solutions for our clients. You’ll use a code-first approach to define and automate infrastructure, working with cross-functional teams to build systems that are secure, scalable, and repeatable. You’ll also develop fast, reliable deployment workflows that let teams ship code with confidence—and the observability that helps them own it in production, spot issues early, and fix them fast.
We’re looking for someone early in their DevOps career with real-world experience and the confidence to work independently on core infrastructure tasks. You don’t need to be a domain expert yet, but you should be hungry to learn, comfortable navigating unfamiliar systems, and confident in your ability to figure things out.
This is a hybrid role, requiring at least one day per week on-site at our Raleigh, NC, office.
Here’s the role:
Essential Functions:

• Support the automation of deployment, monitoring, and infrastructure management tasks using standard DevOps tooling.
• Collaborate with developers and infrastructure teams to improve CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure performance, reliability, and usability.
• Participate in planning and execution of regular maintenance windows and infrastructure upgrades.
• Monitor system health, triage incidents, and assist in troubleshooting issues to improve uptime and efficiency.
• Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities using common scanning and reporting tools, in coordination with security guidelines.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation and process flows that align with internal standards and operational requirements.
• Perform ad hoc tasks based on evolving team priorities and your individual skills or areas of interest.

This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time.
This role is a good fit for someone with these qualifications, experience and skills:
Required Qualifications:

• Ability to obtain a security clearance. 
• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in computer science, engineering, web development, or related field.
• Formal training in computer science, information technology, DevOps, or a related field either through a college degree program or an immersive professional training program.
• Hands-on experience writing and maintaining Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, and deployment workflows using tools like Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
• Practical experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform).
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and system tasks.
• Familiarity with version control systems like Git and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team-based development environment.
• Understanding of system administration fundamentals, including networking, operating systems, and security best practices, as relevant to modern DevOps workflows.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Familiarity with administering enterprise-grade Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat, Amazon Linux). Exposure to hardened environments (DISA STIG, CIS Benchmarks, NIST 800-53) is a plus.
• Prior experience in a development-focused role - even briefly - especially if you’ve built or shipped real web apps or CMS platforms and understand what makes a dev toolchain usable (or painful).
• Comfort working across cloud-native services, infrastructure components, and security controls - ideally with a sense of when to build, when to buy, and when to automate.
• Excellent problem-solving instincts and a curiosity-driven mindset, especially around performance, reliability, and automation.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with developers, engineers, project managers, leadership, and clients.

Supervisory Responsibilities: This position will not have direct reports but will be expected to mentor junior teammates and to lead by example and influence.
Work environment and physical requirements: Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer. Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds
