  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, GitOps, and continuous delivery tooling.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, Ansible) and shell scripting basics.
  • Strong YAML competency.
  • Experience with security automation and understanding of API, container, and cloud security.
  • Comfort debugging systems, reading and writing code, and using monitoring/observability tools.
  • Experience working in Agile teams remotely and strong communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Build and automate runtime production environments (Kubernetes, containers, cloud services).
  • Act as the bridge between application teams and the platform; advocate best practices and enable application delivery.
  • Validate solutions and implementations against requirements and business needs.
  • Independently troubleshoot and solve medium-level technical issues; develop small components or automation to address problems.
  • Estimate time and effort for medium-sized tasks and contribute to project planning.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams in an Agile, remote environment.
  • Contribute to security automation and ensure platform compliance with architecture and ATO requirements.
  • Support monitoring, performance instrumentation, and operational debugging.

Education

  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Relevant military technical training, certifications, or vocational education acceptable.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related field preferred.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision (premiums 100% company paid).
  • Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
  • Life and disability insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Company stock options.
  • Home office budget.
  • Flexible Time Off (FTO), federal holidays, extended holiday weeks.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Training and conference reimbursement (travel, lodging, fees).
