Job Description:

Ready for a challenge that puts you at the center of AI innovation for cyber operations? Are you an experienced DevOps/platform engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys owning infrastructure end to end, and wants to help shape how AI is deployed and delivered across a national mission?

If so, then apply today and be part of a team that supports the United States Cyber Command (USCC). Our team is standing up USCYBERCOM’s AI Enterprise capability — the central hub that mission teams turn to when they want to move an AI solution from prototype to a secure, governed, enterprise-scale service. As a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer on this team, you will build and run the infrastructure, pipelines, and control-plane guardrails that let the command adopt AI safely and at scale, with significant, visible impact on the mission of the USCC.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Provide embedded operations support, capability integration, and rapid prototyping for AI-enabled tools in support of our customer.

• Design, implement, and maintain robust infrastructure for enterprise AI applications in cloud environments (AWS, Microsoft Azure) and on-prem/air-gapped/classified environments.

• Develop and optimize engineering workflows and processes to support AI model and agent development, deployment, and maintenance.

• Architect and manage CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and continuous delivery of AI models, agents, and applications.

• Implement and manage containerization and orchestration solutions using Docker and Kubernetes, and build and maintain control-plane guardrails — identity, policy enforcement, approvals, audit/logging, and observability.

• Ensure efficient AI model and agent lifecycle management, including versioning, monitoring, and scaling.

• Collaborate with AI/ML engineers and data scientists to streamline deployment processes and optimize resource utilization.

• Oversee system performance, security, and scalability of AI infrastructure, and support security accreditation (RMF/ATO) of AI systems.

• Continuously research and implement new DevOps tools and practices to enhance efficiency.

Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S. in a relevant technical field with 10 years of experience, or M.S. in a relevant technical field with 8 years of experience

• Active TS/SCI clearance w/ Poly

• Advanced proficiency in DevOps principles and practices

• Demonstrated expertise in containerization using Docker and Kubernetes

• Proven experience in architecting and managing CI/CD pipelines

• Extensive experience with AI model lifecycle management and maintenance

Desired Qualifications:

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure) for infrastructure deployment and management

• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams

• Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)

• Understanding of machine learning concepts and their implications for infrastructure; continuous learning mindset to stay abreast of cutting-edge DevOps and AI advancements
