About the Role
Own the reliability, security, and scalability of our cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines. You'll take a DevSecOps-first approach to building and maintaining the systems that keep our platform running — automating everything from provisioning to compliance hardening, shifting left on security, and ensuring our environments meet the rigorous standards expected by federal and regulated-industry customers.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, builds, and zero-downtime deployments across multiple environments
- Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
- Operate and optimize container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS) for production workloads
- Implement compliance hardening across environments to support federal security frameworks including FedRAMP and NIST 800-53
- Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability stacks to ensure platform health and rapid incident detection
- Manage secrets management solutions, IAM policies, and environment isolation strategies
- Lead incident response efforts and develop runbooks, post-mortems, and operational documentation
- Collaborate closely with engineering, security, and compliance teams to embed security into every stage of the software delivery lifecycle
- Evaluate and implement tooling improvements to increase deployment velocity, reliability, and auditability
Requirements
- 3–5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS or Azure cloud services in production (GovCloud experience preferred)
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or equivalent tooling
- Solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in production environments
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar)
- Scripting proficiency in Bash, Python, or similar languages for automation and tooling
- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, firewall rules, load balancing, and DNS
- Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or CMMC
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent professional experience
Nice to Have
- Active security clearance or eligibility to obtain one
- Direct experience supporting a FedRAMP authorization or continuous monitoring program
- Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, CKA, or similar)
- Experience with GitOps workflows and tools such as ArgoCD or Flux
- Familiarity with SIEM/SOAR platforms and log aggregation tools (Splunk, Sentinel, ELK)
- Configuration management experience with Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
- Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, or CKS)
