Principal Infrastructure Engineer

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, test, iterate, and deploy secure production systems across cloud-native and edge appliance deployments
• Embed with cross-functional teams and advise on infrastructure, security, and deployment best practices that hold up in production
• Own end-to-end infrastructure outcomes for one or more critical programs or priority infrastructure initiatives
• Harden the artifact pipeline so the same signed builds run in cloud, single-tenant high-side, and air-gapped appliance deployments

What We Look For

• 8+ years operating production infrastructure in DevOps/DevSecOps, Platform, SRE, Cloud, or Infrastructure role
• Full-stack engineering experience when necessary, e.g., production experience designing, building, and operating services in a modern backend language (e.g., Go, Python, Rust, TypeScript)
• Deep production Kubernetes experience: operators, networking, storage, multi-cluster operations, and a feel for what breaks at scale
• Expertise with major cloud providers (e.g., Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure), with strong instincts for designing across providers and profiles
• Strong application and infrastructure security fundamentals: identity, network segmentation, secrets management, common vulnerability classes, and sound security judgment under ambiguity
• Demonstrated ability to build working solutions from scratch, connect disparate applications together, and jump into existing code bases to add value
• Experience packaging and shipping workloads into disconnected or air-gapped environments
• Demonstrated leadership/mentorship experience
• Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance

Nice to Have

• Active US SECRET or TOP SECRET security clearance
• Government cloud expertise (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government)
• FedRAMP, IL4/IL5, IL6, or JWICS environment exposure
• Audit experience (FedRAMP, SOC 2, or equivalent)
• Big data and distributed data experience
• Prior experience supporting defense, intelligence, or other regulated industries
