- Support deployments, maintenance, and recovery across AWS and RHEL
- Build CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and Ansible
- Run containerized deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
- Turn recurring problems into fixes: scripts, automations, runbooks, or process changes
What you bring
- US Citizenship (required for Public Trust); DHS USCIS Public Trust a plus
- Bachelor’s plus 4+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent), including 3+ years in platform engineering
- Strong REST API troubleshooting and API gateway experience (Apigee strongly preferred)
- Working knowledge of AWS, Linux, CI/CD, and networking
- Independent skill in Terraform-based IaC or Kubernetes/Helm deployments
- Scripting in Python, Node.js, or Bash
- Clear communication with engineers and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to have: AWS (EKS, VPC, CloudWatch, Lambda), RHCSA / AWS / Kubernetes / Terraform certifications, federal program experience
