What you'll build

Since 2018, we have delivered the most trusted AI systems operating in real-world use cases-providing a layer of assurance underneath hundreds of deployed models that monitors performance, manages drift, and sustains systems long after they leave the lab.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are where the platform meets the mission. Our systems stay online and reliable in the field because of what you build, automate, and maintain. You will interface directly with customers and work across teams. You'll define what needs to be built, deploy it, and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy the challenge of debugging complex Kubernetes clusters where connectivity is a luxury, not a given. You are someone who can navigate the unique constraints of local hardware today and write the automation that ensures seamless, reliable performance across the customer's hybrid stack tomorrow.
What we're looking for

6+ years of direct, hands-on experience in:

• Microservices deployment in Kubernetes
• Diagnosing and resolving issues within containerized environments
• Helm Chart and Kustomizations development/deployment
• Python and/or Golang programming, or other general purpose programming languages
• Automation and IaC, e.g., Terraform
• Cloud infrastructure: AWS and Azure
• Managing and troubleshooting Linux systems, e.g., networking and bash scripting
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance and US citizenship

The following isn't required, but we'd love to see it:

• Familiarity with DOD networking, tools, infrastructure, security requirements, and policies
• Proficiency with US federal information system security policies, including STIGs, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and ICD 503
• Experience with software deployments to on-premises and cloud-based unclassified, CUI, and classified networks within the DOD
• Experience with DevSecOps/DevOps and CI/CD for the administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers
• Experience deploying or maintaining CNCF projects
• Experience with NAS and SAN technologies
• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications and services in DDIL impact environments

You will be remote or hybrid/on site at our customer sites at Joint Base Lewis-McChord In Tacoma, WA. If remote, you must be located in the Pacific or Mountain time zone. You will be expected to travel up to 25% of the time.
