Job summary

Landshark Recruiting is sourcing a Senior Infrastructure Engineer for a fast-growing defense technology company building secure data management and AI platforms for maritime domain awareness. The role focuses on operating a developer platform inside classified networks and air-gapped environments.

You will self-host critical tools, deploy services on Kubernetes, and contribute to CI/CD, DevSecOps, and security practices. Work setup is hybrid in Suitland, MD with on-site as needed.

Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI clearance required.
• Extensive self-hosting experience in on-prem or bare-metal environments.
• Deep experience with Kubernetes and Docker; cluster setup from scratch is a plus.
• Infrastructure as code using Pulumi or Terraform.
• Strong AWS experience, building environments from the ground up.
• Experience with identity management/SaaS (SSO) like Keycloak/Authentik.
• Experience with package/artifact management (Artifactory/Nexus).
• CI/CD experience, preferably GitHub Actions.
• Strong Linux and networking fundamentals.
• Ability to code in TypeScript and/or Go.

Responsibilities

• Bring existing infrastructure-as-code into classified and air-gapped environments; deploy, troubleshoot, and make it work.
• Write new code when environments behave differently; 60% adapting existing code, 40% new code.
• Commit changes as a full contributor to the main codebase.
• Self-host and maintain tools for a secure developer environment (Git hosting, artifact repos, SSO, package management).
• Deploy and run services on Kubernetes without managed services.
• Assist with CI/CD, DevSecOps pipelines, secrets and configuration management, and observability.
• Collaborate across codebases; the team is small with no narrow lanes.
