About Swoop:Swoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world’s military and critical infrastructure. We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world’s equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf. Imagine the world’s equipment - consisting of the electrical grid, communications architectures, manufacturing facilities, and militaries as a trapped supply of inputs possessing the potential to ensure Western military advantage, sovereign control of economically competitive manufacturing capacity, or the creation of a grid that fosters energy dominance. Swoop is liberating these trapped assets, allowing them to contribute to the world’s future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety. That is what Swoop is building. Not in the data center or cloud or edge on-premise computing node. In the physical world.Impact:As a member of our Deployment and Test Engineering team, you will operate as a critical link between our cutting edge technology development and real world operational deployment. The deployment, integration, and sustainment of Swoop technology, for mission critical customers, will usher in the advancement and reduction of time fielding these capabilities. You’ll work alongside Product and DevOps engineers to create successful technical outcomes for our customers, continuously improve our technology, and ensure post deployment that processes and deployment readiness are always evolving.What You’ll Do:Coordinate and execute software deployments across multiple environments (staging, testing, production)Collaborate with development and operations teams to plan and schedule deployment activitiesImplement and maintain Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelinesMonitor and troubleshoot deployment processes to ensure smooth execution and timely delivery. Address and resolve any issues or failures in deployment processesAutomate deployment tasks where possible to reduce manual intervention and increase efficiencyEnsure version control and proper documentation of deployment procedures and configurationsPerform post-deployment testing to ensure functionality and performance are as expectedMaintain and update deployment tools and scripts to improve reliability and automationProvide support to the development team in testing, validating, and deploying application changesWork with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) to manage deployments and configurationsEnsure compliance with security and operational standards during deploymentsProvide regular status updates on deployment progress and potential risks to stakeholdersYou Should Have:Active US Top Secret Security clearance3-5+ years experience delivering, integrating, or operating technology solutions in DoD network environments (deployment, release engineering, or related roles)Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose product issues, determine root cause, troubleshoot, implement fixes, and escalate when necessary; detail-oriented with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable outcomesStrong grasp of OSI networking principles, both in general and within DoD-specific contextsAbility to operate independently with technical and non-technical parties, in dynamically changing environments, bringing excellent collaboration and communication skills (written and verbal)Ability to adapt to fast-paced environments and handle deployment issues under pressure; Demonstrated adaptability and success operating in resource-constrained environmentsExpertise and experience with various technologies across: CI/CD tools, containerization technology, version control systems, cloud platforms, infrastructure automation, and monitoring toolsAbility and interest to travel as needed. Up to 50%, but requirements may varyBonus if you have:Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related fieldExperience writing and/or readability in Python, C, Rust, or Assembly code.Scripting experience in Bash, Python, PowerShell, etcKnowledge of one or more of the following environments: Distributed Systems, Embedded Systems, Bare Metal environments, Hardware VirtualizationUnderstanding and experience administering operating systems (RTOS, various Linux flavours, and Windows)Knowledge of databases and database deployment strategiesSwoop Technologies is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
