Delivery Engineer - Cloud & Automation

Delivery Engineer — Cloud & Automation

Design and Integrate Systems for Mission Success

As a Delivery Engineer at Bluestaq, you'll deliver integrated, verified systems that meet operational requirements across both government and commercial environments. You'll operate with growing independence, taking ownership of infrastructure, environments, and system components end-to-end, partnering with Product, Program, Architecture, and adjacent engineering teams to deliver outcomes that matter to customers operating in complex, high-stakes environments.

You'll bring a well-rounded technical foundation across systems, cloud platforms, and automation, applying practical engineering judgment to support both internal platform environments and customer-facing deployments.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design, integration, and operation of production systems and supporting infrastructure within your team's scope
• Contribute to provisioning, configuration, and maintenance of Windows and Linux environments across cloud and on-prem deployments
• Apply automation and scripting to improve reliability, repeatability, and deployment efficiency (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
• Participate in debugging and resolving system and infrastructure issues across environments, escalating with context when needed
• Contribute to documentation so others can understand, operate, and maintain systems and environments
• Support observability and operational health through monitoring, logging, and system performance awareness
• Integrate systems using cloud-native patterns and platform capabilities
• Manage services and event-driven architecture where they fit, not cloud as a glorified hosting layer

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product Owners and Program partners to clarify requirements and manage scope
• Collaborate with Software, Platform, Security, and Operations teams to ensure systems are deployable, secure, and operable
• Communicate status, blockers, and risks clearly in team forums and async updates
• Participate in customer-facing deployments, integrations, or technical support activities as needed
• Build working relationships with adjacent team members to understand cross-team dependencies

Growth, Mentorship & Culture

• Provide light mentorship to Associate-level colleagues; help them ramp up faster
• Invest in your own growth by tackling work at the edge of your current skills
• Share knowledge through documentation, internal talks, and peer conversations
• Accept and apply feedback from design discussions and reviews constructively

Outcomes

• You reliably deliver system components, environments, and automation work independently with minimal re-work
• Your contributions improve system stability, deployment efficiency, and operational clarity
• You contribute meaningfully to technical discussions and help raise the team's quality bar
• Your teammates and leads know they can count on you to follow through on commitments
• You grow your systems, cloud, and automation capabilities continually and seek out stretch opportunities
• Your work directly contributes to secure, scalable systems that customers depend on

Qualifications & Skills

• 2–5 years of hands-on experience in systems engineering, infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or a closely related discipline
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux systems administration fundamentals
• Familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Designs with cloud primitives, not just deploys to them
• Has managed services, platform APIs, and cloud-native patterns over lift-and-shift defaults
• Experience with automation and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
• Exposure to monitoring, logging, or operational tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, or similar)
• Understanding of virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V, or similar)
• Strong engineering fundamentals and problem-solving skills
• Clear communicator who can collaborate across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Track record of following through on commitments and owning work end-to-end

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to MBSE, SysML, or architecture artifacts
• Experience working in regulated, security-conscious, or high-availability environments
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience, including cluster deployment and troubleshooting

Required Education

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience, OR Associate degree in a related field and 6+ years of relevant experience, OR High School Diploma/GED and 8+ years of relevant experience.
