SAIC • Colorado Springs, CO • 3h ago

Description

Coordinate with Release Manager to package deployables, confirm SIP/CCB entrance criteria, and maintain traceability to baselines.

Troubleshoot deployment failures and pipeline issues across cloud, network, and platform layers; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Develop observability and monitoring (logs/metrics/alerts) and reliability improvements for DSOP operations.

Support cross-domain transfer workflows by preparing and validating artifacts per authorized processes.

Document DSOP run-books, automation playbooks, and operational SOPs; contribute to PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, and retrospectives.
