DevOps Engineer II

About the Role

Own the reliability, security, and scalability of our cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines. You'll take a DevSecOps-first approach to building and maintaining the systems that keep our platform running — automating everything from provisioning to compliance hardening, shifting left on security, and ensuring our environments meet the rigorous standards expected by federal and regulated-industry customers.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, builds, and zero-downtime deployments across multiple environments
• Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
• Operate and optimize container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS) for production workloads
• Implement compliance hardening across environments to support federal security frameworks including FedRAMP and NIST 800-53
• Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability stacks to ensure platform health and rapid incident detection
• Manage secrets management solutions, IAM policies, and environment isolation strategies
• Lead incident response efforts and develop runbooks, post-mortems, and operational documentation
• Collaborate closely with engineering, security, and compliance teams to embed security into every stage of the software delivery lifecycle
• Evaluate and implement tooling improvements to increase deployment velocity, reliability, and auditability

Requirements

• 3-5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS or Azure cloud services in production (GovCloud experience preferred)
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or equivalent tooling
• Solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in production environments
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar)
• Scripting proficiency in Bash, Python, or similar languages for automation and tooling
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, firewall rules, load balancing, and DNS
• Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or CMMC
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent professional experience

Nice to Have

• Active security clearance or eligibility to obtain one
• Direct experience supporting a FedRAMP authorization or continuous monitoring program
• Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, CKA, or similar)
• Experience with GitOps workflows and tools such as ArgoCD or Flux
• Familiarity with SIEM/SOAR platforms and log aggregation tools (Splunk, Sentinel, ELK)
• Configuration management experience with Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, or CKS)
