Responsibilities

AWS Platform Operations Engineer Job ID: CFG_171 Client: US Department of State Job Type: Full-time (Hourly or Salaried) rate: 65$/hr w2 or 70-75$/hr c2c or 1099 Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 Location: Fully Remote Clearance Required: Secret Work status: US citizens only due to federal/government requirement The Project & Role: We are building a greenfield, shared AWS platform (EKS on Terraform, 99% IaC via GitLab CI/CD) supporting many cloud-native tenant development teams. This is a fast-paced, highly collaborative operations role for a mid-level engineer tracking toward senior. This is not a passive, ticket-taking position. This role covers on-demand requests from other teams building solutions on our shared AWS platform. You will actively triage requests, manage releases, and unblock tenant teams via real-time synchronous collaboration, pair programming, and rapid troubleshooting. If you want to work in isolation or maintain multiple overlapping professional commitments, this environment is not a fit. Our Interview Filter: We test strictly for real-world production scars, bypassing textbook definitions and AI surface-level trivia. We require practical operational intuition—knowing how EKS behaves under load, untangling broken Terraform states, and debugging complex AWS networking limits. Required Skills & Experience: · Core Tech: 4+ years in the field with hands-on experience operating multi-tier production stacks in AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, containers, and GitOps. · Pipelines & Code: Strong familiarity with automation pipelines (GitLab, GitHub, or CodePipeline) and fluency in at least one major language (Python, TypeScript, Java). · Network & Security: Clear understanding of AWS networking (VPC, route tables, peering, ALB/NLB) and cloud security hardening. · Compliance: Experience implementing security countermeasures to maintain system compliance with DISA STIGs or similar U.S. Government frameworks. · Availability: Must align with 9 AM – 5 PM ET standard working hours and travel twice a year to DC for all-hands meetings. Security & Compliance Mandate: Background claims and technical submissions are strictly verified. The final stages of our interview process include live identity verification. Any misrepresentation or fraudulent identity usage constitutes a violation of federal contracting regulations and will be reported to federal authorities.
