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:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field
• 8+ years of software engineering and/or DevOps experience
• 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.
• Ability to work in office full time
• Active TS/SCI U.S. Government Security Clearance with Polygraph
• Active IAT Level II or III certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or CASP+).

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.
