- Design and manage AWS infrastructure (with an emphasis on CloudFormation), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and automated deployment pipelines.
- Ensure high availability, scalability, and observability across all environments.
- Secure & Compliant:
- Integrate security best practices and government compliance (FedRAMP, FIPS) into the DevOps lifecycle.
- Collaborate with InfoSec teams to proactively address vulnerabilities and maintain hardened systems.
- Python Proficiency:
- Develop and maintain automation scripts and tooling in Python, with an emphasis on production-grade code and performance.
- Advocate for code quality, documentation, and type safety where applicable.
- Continuous Improvement:
- Optimize CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging systems to improve developer productivity and reduce downtime.
- Mentor junior engineers on DevOps methodologies, offering code reviews and technical guidance.
About You:
- Experience:
- 4+ years in DevOps, site reliability engineering, or a related role, focusing on AWS and container-based architectures.
- Proven track record designing and supporting production environments with a high degree of automation.
- Technical Proficiency:
- Deep understanding of AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, CloudFormation), Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Strong background in Python for writing infrastructure tooling or backend services, with a preference for well-structured, type-informed code.
- Security & Compliance Awareness:
- Comfortable implementing compliance requirements and secure coding practices, particularly in government-regulated environments.
- Collaboration:
- Adept at working cross-functionally, from product managers to security teams, communicating effectively about infrastructure and deployment strategies.
Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience automating compliance checks or vulnerability scanning.
- AWS GovCloud experience.
