The Opportunity:
Are you a software engineer who loves to code but hates being isolated from how your software actually runs in the real world? We are looking for a Software Engineer – Cloud Infrastructure to join a mission-critical team.

In this role, you will sit at the intersection of core software development and cloud infrastructure. You won’t just write code and throw it over the fence; you will have the autonomy to build complex applications and architect the environments, pipelines, and containers required to deploy them successfully into operations. If you are a hard-charging developer who loves full-stack ownership and solving tricky deployment puzzles, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

  • Write, test, and maintain clean, scalable code for complex applications and microservices.
  • Design and configure Kubernetes clusters and use Helm/Argo CD to deploy your software seamlessly into active operations.
  • Construct and optimize secure, automated CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) to accelerate software delivery.
  • Write advanced scripts (Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code to automate environment setup, testing, and maintenance.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot application-level bugs and underlying infrastructure issues simultaneously.


Qualifications:

Required: 

  • Active TS/SCI U.S. Government Security Clearance with adjudicated Polygraph

  • Active IAT Level II or III certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or CASP+)
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field
  • 8+ years of software engineering and/or DevOps experience
  • Ability to work in office full time
  • Strong software development skills with proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Python, Go, Java, C++) and scripting (Bash).
  • Strong understanding of Kubernetes, including experience deploying applications to clusters using Helm charts or similar tools.
  • Practical experience working with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure) and automated CI/CD tools (GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills across both application code and runtime environments.


Desired:

  • Experience delivering microservices in Kubernetes-based systems.
  • Hands-on experience with container tools (Docker, Podman).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
  • Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment.
