Your Mission:

Join ClearEdge as a DevOps Engineer, where you will build, package, promote, and operate the infrastructure behind one of our core AI-enabled products including CI/CD, containers, hardening, and both hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped deployment paths, supporting AI services and application platforms built with tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores. Delivery is AI-assisted, and you own the pipelines, automation, and outcomes.

You will support and enhance a containerized application stack, deploying and operating identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production, and automating complex processes with both deterministic and non-deterministic tools.

You Will Excel in This Role If You Are:

  • Experienced with Infrastructure-as-Code practices and tooling
  • Skilled in containerized and orchestrated deployments, and comfortable in Linux environments
  • Fluent with AI-native IDEs and comfortable using them as your default way of working
  • Strong in version control habits
  • Comfortable working in hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped environments
  • Familiar with deploying and operating apps in the TypeScript/Python/React ecosystem
  • Capable of automating deployment and configuration management processes, using both deterministic scripting and AI-assisted/agentic tools
  • Experienced troubleshooting deployment and infrastructure issues
  • Comfortable scripting in Python or TypeScript, with tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores


A Day in the Life:

  • Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code solutions
  • Automate configuration management and deployment processes
  • Deploy and manage containerized applications within orchestration environments
  • Support secure system builds and hardened infrastructure baselines
  • Deploy and operate identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production systems
  • Collaborate with system administrators, engineers, and security teams
  • Troubleshoot deployment, orchestration, and infrastructure issues
  • Support documentation and security accreditation activities
  • Support development efforts in Python or TypeScript as needed


What We Are Expecting From You:

  • Active TS/SCI with Poly clearance; U.S. citizenship
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field (4 years of experience may substitute)
  • 2-5 years of experience as a DevOps or Software Engineer
  • Fluency with AI-native IDEs
  • Strong version control habits
  • Practical depth in hybrid deployment (on-prem and cloud), including air-gapped deployment, containers, Linux, and CI/CD
  • Experience with layered systems and how apps get deployed - language secondary; scripting/automation often in Python or TypeScript, using tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores
  • Familiarity with deploying/operating apps in the TypeScript/Python/React ecosystem
  • Understands how to deploy and operate identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production systems
  • Implements pipelines and promotion paths; debugs and remediates with tools and automation
  • Understands how to automate complex processes with deterministic and non-deterministic tools
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and/or Packer


Nice to Have:

  • Systems administration background or SSP accreditation experience
  • Infrastructure as Code experience at production scale
  • Production observability stack experience
  • Experience supporting RMF/ATO (hardening baselines, control evidence, vulnerability remediation)
  • Experience with physical security or facility accreditation practices, such as ICD 705 or similar frameworks
  • Familiarity with tools used by security and compliance teams
