Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Cloud DevOps EngineerRune Technologies builds mission-critical software for military logistics and sustainment. Our flagship product is TyrOS, an AI-enabled logistics command and control platform that gives commanders a single, real-time operating picture of their sustainment fight, from inventory and distribution to medical and operational planning, even in degraded and contested environments.We're not a traditional defense contractor. We're a small, fast-moving team that combines deep operational experience in and with the DoD with the software discipline of the best product companies, and we apply that combination to a customer set that desperately needs it. We stay close to our users by embedding directly with military units during exercises and rotations, and we ship constantly based on what we learn.The U.S. military and its allies face a real logistics modernization problem. We're building the software to solve it.About the RoleAt Rune, we are building the infrastructure that powers logistics operations across cloud and edge environments — from centralized systems to distributed nodes operating in constrained and disconnected conditions. As a Cloud DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for scaling and operating the cloud backbone that supports this system.This is not a traditional cloud role. You will take a functional, early-stage platform and scale it into a highly available, multi-environment system, capable of coordinating with edge deployments and supporting distributed workloads. You'll work on infrastructure that must remain reliable while interacting with thousands of nodes across heterogeneous environments, including systems with intermittent connectivity.You will design and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS and multi-cloud environments, build and maintain Kubernetes-based deployment systems, and ensure that our platform can scale, recover, and evolve as usage grows. You'll also help bridge the gap between cloud and edge — enabling synchronization, deployment, and observability across a distributed mesh of systems.This role combines platform engineering, deployment engineering, and SRE, with a strong emphasis on building systems that actually run in production — not just in ideal cloud conditions.What You'll DoDesign, build, and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS and multi-cloud environments.Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes (EKS and other environments), ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, enabling repeatable and auditable deployments.Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI) to support rapid and reliable software delivery.Implement and operate observability systems (metrics, logs, tracing) to monitor system health and performance.Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to ensure services are designed for scalability, resilience, and operability.Support integration with edge-deployed systems, including handling synchronization, connectivity, and deployment workflows across distributed environments.Debug and resolve production issues across cloud infrastructure, networking, and application layers.Contribute to best practices around security, reliability, and performance across the platform.Qualifications5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure or software engineering roles.Strong experience with AWS (e.g., EC2, RDS, autoscaling, networking) in production environments.Deep experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes.Proficiency with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools.Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI or similar).Strong scripting skills in Bash; proficiency in Python or Go is a plus.Experience operating production systems with a focus on reliability, observability, and performance.Strong understanding of networking fundamentals and distributed systems behavior.Desired QualificationsExperience working in multi-cloud environments or supporting deployments across heterogeneous infrastructure.Familiarity with Kubernetes at the edge (e.g., k3s, RKE2) or deploying to constrained/on-prem systems.Experience building or operating systems that interact with distributed or intermittently connected nodes.Exposure to GovCloud or regulated environments.Experience working closely with engineering teams to build internal platforms and developer infrastructure.BenefitsRune offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees to include a full suite of insurance options at no cost for employees and low-cost to spouses and dependents.
