Senior Cloud Platform Engineer (Remote)

The Cloud Engineer role is a highlyself-driven, technically curious position that sits at the intersection of modern cloud native software engineering and the rugged physical systems domain. In this role you will design, build, and operate the scalable, secure infrastructure that powers our ocean current visualization and prediction platform, delivering massive, real time data streams from models and digital twins to end user operators. You will be responsible for creating end to end cloud solutions that ingest, store, and process scientific data, provision compute resources for high-performance digital twin simulations, and expose robust, versioned APIs (REST, gRPC, WebSocket) that downstream applications consume. Because many of our products run on physical platforms such as unmanned surface vessels, offshore rigs, and defense grade sensor suites, we seek candidates with proven experience building cloud centric data pipelines, container orchestrated workloads, and automated DevOps/CICD frameworks for robotics, automotive, manufacturing, oil &gas, IIoT, defense, or aerospace applications. Your ability to translate complex scientific workloads into reliable, cost effective cloud services will directly enable operators and analysts to visualize and act on critical maritime information. Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able to conduct research, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand. What you'll do Design a cloud deployment architecture that bridges multiple customer clouds Deploy and manage containerized simulation workloads on Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) or on managed batch services. Implement job scheduling, autoscaling, and provisioning for compute-intensive models. Collaborate with backend engineers to design secure, versioned services. Implement APIgateway, throttling, and authentication (OAuth2 / OpenID Connect) that the frontend UI consumes. Observe using centralized logging (ELK/EFK), metrics (Prometheus + Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor), and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) to achieve SLOgrade incident detection and rootcause analysis Enforce leastprivilege IAM policies, data encryption at rest/inflight, secret management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), and vulnerability scanning (Trivy, Snyk). Ensure the environment meets FedRAMP/NIST80053 baselines required for any government funded work. Evaluate emerging cloud services (e.g., serverless GPUs, managed AI pipelines, datamesh concepts) that could accelerate digital twin simulations or improve data latency. Qualifications Core Requirements Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain a US DoD/DoW Secret clearance. Must have excellent written and oral communication skills. 4+ years of relevant experience in cloud architecture and management Ability to travel up to approximately 20% of time. Additional Desired Skillsets Experience running Digital Twins or Simulations in the cloud Familiarity with compliance frameworks like FedRAMP, DoD/DoW SRG, and NIST-800-53 Knowledge and understanding of back-end development using tools and languages such as: Rust Node.js C++ Experience with network configurations, protocols, certificates, and firewalls. Experience with scripting in BASH or Powershell About Integer Technologies Integer Technologies is an applied research and product development company founded by scientists and engineers with a passion for technology and national security. We perform R&D on next-generation systems and technologies for the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government agencies. We are hardware and software developers with experience turning research into impactful products for military and commercial applications. Our core portfolio of research includes projects in power & energy systems, unmanned systems (with an emphasis on maritime systems), digital engineering, and advanced manufacturing. We are a startup founded for the purpose of putting research into action. Our mission is to create a safer world by translating scientific discoveries into reliable products that address urgent national security needs… at the speed of relevance. Our mission solutions portfolio includes work on critical enabling technologies for more reliable, more intelligent, and longer-duration unmanned systems. We are now expanding our maritime analytics portfolio with a new, cloud-based system that visualizes ocean currents and predicts the trajectories of maritime platforms. This effort will leverage modern full stack web technologies, high fidelity ocean current models, and emerging digital twin concepts to give operators, scientists, and decisionmakers actionable insight into the marine environment.
