The ideal candidate will:

• Has 5+ years of experience supporting Kubernetes-based deployments on AWS.

• Has relevant experience with containerizing applications and Docker-based dev workflows.
• Has lots of experience building CI/CD pipelines.
• Be eager to learn new technologies and expand their roles and responsibilities.
• Be familiar with event-streaming architectures (using Kafka & service meshes).
• Be familiar with modularity and microservice architectures.
• Has some experience in a startup environment.
• Has experience building scalable, maintainable data pipelines and/or event streams.

Bonus points (but not required):

• Preferably have an active clearance or be clearable to TS//SCI.
• Has supported an air-gapped deployment - ideally on Kubernetes.

The soft skills or non-technical skills required are just as important than the hard skills and are simply:

• Be a self-motivating individual.
• Take initiative and be effectively autonomous.
• Be flexible and patient enough to learn new skills and adapt to changing requirements.

Office hours are flexible as needed with most work performed remotely (as we are a geographically dispersed team).

Some travel may be required on an as needed basis, but not often. Must be a US citizen.
