Staff Infrastructure Engineer
Staff Infrastructure Engineer building and operating secure cloud-native and edge platforms for military collaboration software. Requires 5+ years production infrastructure experience, deep Kubernetes expertise, and ability to obtain SECRET clearance.
About the job
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
- 5+ years operating production infrastructure in DevOps/DevSecOps, Platform, SRE, Cloud, or Infrastructure roles
- 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
- 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
