  • 2+ years managing engineers (ideally infrastructure engineers)
  • Strong technical depth with Kubernetes, AWS (or multi-cloud), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Ansible / similar)
  • Strong understanding of hybrid and air-gapped environments and the challenges they present (compliance, connectivity, segmentation, secure operations)
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, and Cybersecurity) and to translate high-level requirements into actionable plans
  • Skilled in setting and governing operational metrics, SLOs, incident response processes, and platform delivery measures
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to convey technical direction and guidance across multiple time zones to both engineers and stakeholders
  • Ability to obtain a Top Secret with SCI eligibility
  • Expertise in GitOps best practices
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, and/or TypeScript
  • Proficiency with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Alloy, Tempo)
  • Experience in DoD / DoW, government, or other regulated environments
  • Experience with the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process (e.g. STIGs, ICD 503)
  • Certifications such as CKA/CKAD, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, or AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional
  • This role requires the ability to obtain Security+ certification within 90 days of hire
