Fairlead - DevOps Specialist - WFL060425 - KE066151

The customer is a manufacturer supporting U.S. Navy submarine production, pursuing a strategic modernization of its manual, paper-based shop-floor operations. The business goal is to replace fragmented, paper-driven manufacturing processes with a proprietary AI-enabled workforce readiness platform that gives Foremen, Technicians, QC Inspectors, and Program stakeholders AI-generated work instructions, smart technician assignment, and real-time quality and compliance visibility. The engagement is delivered in two phases across six workstreams: a FedRAMP High/IL4-compliant Google Cloud Platform Landing Zone that establishes the secure cloud foundation, followed by platform development spanning a manufacturing data integration engine, data connector migration, Looker analytics, and a workforce enablement platform powered by four AI agents. Delivery is distributed across multiple GFT delivery locations to balance cost and specialized skill availability, all within the strict US-persons-only access controls required once the customer's Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is in use. Landing Zone Build & Implementation: executes the build and implement phases of the compliant cloud foundation

• Executes the Build and Implement phases of the FedRAMP High/IL4-compliant Landing Zone (WS1), standing up infrastructure ahead of compliance validation.
• Works from the Cloud Architect's design and alongside the Cloud Engineer to stand up the Terraform-based infrastructure foundation.

CI/CD & Infrastructure-as-Code Pipelines: builds and maintains deployment pipelines across the program

• Builds and maintains Terraform/IaC deployment pipelines, with Sentinel policy-as-code applied where enterprise governance requires it.
• Supports pipeline needs for both the Landing Zone build and the platform's GFT-environment build.

Environment Promotion Coordination: prepares platform promotions, coordinating with the US-based execution counterpart

• Prepares and packages platform code moving from the GFT development environment toward the customer's production environment.
• Coordinates directly with the USA-based DevOps resource who executes the final deployment into the customer's environment, since CUI/FedRAMP policy restricts that execution step to US-person personnel.

Synthetic Data & Dev Environment Segregation: supports the non-US-citizen-accessible development environment

• Supports the segregated development environment containing only synthetic data, which remains accessible to non-US-citizen developers before and after the CUI cutover.
• Supports the promotion pipeline that moves code from that segregated environment toward the IL4 production environment for final deployment.
