Job description

Systems Engineer (Infrastructure and Platform Operations)

At Cybastion, we build digital infrastructure that governments depend on, across eleven countries and counting. High bar, no room for failure — and a company still being built, which you help shape. International complexity, visible impact, real ownership. Benefits vary by country and are detailed during the recruitment process.

Summary

Deploy, operate and maintain Defense & Intelligence (D&I) infrastructure and platform environments at headquarters and in country programs, emphasizing automation, availability, recovery, change control and transferable operations.

Mission

Operate a bounded infrastructure and platform perimeter that can be rebuilt, recovered and handed over rather than depending on one engineer.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy and maintain servers, networks and platform services against approved architecture.
• Automate provisioning and configuration, and maintain baselines and inventories.
• Operate backup, recovery, capacity, incident and change management with documented runbooks.

Your Profile

• Infrastructure or platform-operations experience including automation.
• Prior experience in a defense, intelligence or federal environment is required.
• Hands-on hardening, patching, vulnerability remediation and constrained-deployment experience.

Salary range: $60,000 - $72,500
