Résumé du poste

Trase Systems is seeking a Senior or Staff DevOps Engineer to build, deploy, and operate the infrastructure supporting federal incuabations and partner companies. You will join the RCF/RCP support team with a focus on government programs and enterprise-grade deployments.

The role involves hands-on work across Kubernetes, IaC, secure releases, observability, and production support, collaborating with partner engineers, software engineers, TPM, Platform Engineering, and GRC.

Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship is required.
• 10+ years of software, platform, infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps engineering experience, including hands-on ownership of production systems.
• Deep hands-on experience with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and production cluster operations.
• Strong experience with Helm and infrastructure as code, such as Terraform or Pulumi, including reusable modules, state management, testing, and change review.
• Hands-on infrastructure experience with at least two of AWS, Azure, and GCP, including compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed services.
• Experience deploying and operating software in customer-controlled, private-cloud, hybrid-cloud, or on-premises environments, including adapting cloud-native products for these deployment models.
• Strong understanding of networking, DNS, ingress, load balancing, certificates, IAM, secrets management, persistent storage, and service-to-service security.
• Experience operating CI/CD or GitOps systems for releases, upgrades, and rollbacks, plus observability and incident response for production services.
• Strong software engineering and automation skills in Python, Go, TypeScript, or a similar language, with the ability to work across application and infrastructure layers.
• Experience hardening production infrastructure and container images, investigating vulnerability findings, and delivering validated security fixes with security teams.
• Strong partner-facing communication and troubleshooting skills, with ownership of technical issues from initial report through validated resolution and operational handoff.
• Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted coding and engineering tools to accelerate development, infrastructure automation, troubleshooting, operational analysis, or incident investigation.

Responsabilités

• Build and operate RCF/RCP partner environments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and customer-controlled or on-premises infrastructure, adapting to each program’s access, networking, and security requirements.
• Package and validate Trase OS services and dependencies using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and approved registries. Maintain complete, versioned image inventories, release manifests, and image digests so partner deliveries contain the required artifacts.
• Create reusable infrastructure-as-code modules, cluster bootstrap automation, and CI/CD or GitOps workflows using Terraform, Pulumi, Argo CD, or comparable tools.
• Prepare and validate networking, IAM, secrets, certificates, storage, registries, and model-provider connectivity. Support restricted-network and disconnected deployment patterns where required, in partnership with application engineers.
• Remove or abstract cloud-specific dependencies that block partner deployments. Validate representative agent workflows end to end, including service integrations, authentication, model access, and persistent state.
• Own technical triage and troubleshooting for partner deployment and production issues across application services, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and networks. Coordinate fixes and escalations with named owners and verify resolution with partners.
• Deliver tested releases, patches, and upgrades with automated validation gates, version compatibility checks, smoke tests, rollback procedures, and clear release notes. Confirm the deployed artifacts match the approved release.
• Operate metrics, logs, traces, audit logging, dashboards, alerts, and SLOs for partner environments. Support incident response, recovery, capacity planning, and reliability improvements.
• Partner with GRC and RCF security teams on container hardening, vulnerability scanning, CVE remediation, SBOMs, and engineering evidence for applicable STIG, RMF/ATO, and impact-level requirements. Verify fixes through rescanning and deployment validation; coordinate exceptions and approvals with security owners.
• Support sustainment of federal deployments, including Second Front where applicable, through patching, image updates, configuration changes, and ongoing security remediation within agreed Trase/partner responsibilities.
• Maintain deployment guides, environment inventories, operational runbooks, and troubleshooting documentation. Provide partner onboarding, knowledge transfer, and operational handoffs with clear prerequisites, access boundaries, and support ownership.
