About This Role
We're looking for a skilled Hybrid Cloud Platform Engineer to join a collaborative Agile team building and maintaining a large-scale Platform as a Service (PaaS) capability for an Intelligence Community customer. This is mission-critical work — you'll be helping teams across multiple security domains deploy applications and data services on a modern, cloud-native platform.
If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, working across teams, and making a tangible difference in national security, this role is a great fit.
What You'll Do
- Operate and maintain Red Hat OpenShift environments across multiple security domains — both in the cloud and on-premises (vSphere)
- Support key OpenShift frameworks including Crossplane, Kyverno, and Red Hat GitOps
- Deploy OpenShift to new sites as the platform expands
- Collaborate with internal and external teams to understand integration needs and scale the platform accordingly
- Partner with Security teams to ensure compliance and build secure-by-design solutions
- Manage data services including RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL, and the Elastic Stack
- Write clear, thorough documentation to support teammates and future maintainers
- What We're Looking For
- Required:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
- 5–8 years of developer or platform engineering experience
- Active TS/SCI clearance
- DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification (one of the following): Security+ CE, CND, SSCP, GSEC, GICSP, CySA+, or CCNA
Nice to Have
- (but not all required — bring what you have!):
- Hands-on experience deploying and managing Red Hat OpenShift in cloud or vSphere environments
- Familiarity with AWS
- Scripting skills in Python or Shell, and comfort with Git
- Experience with Linux (RHEL/RHCOS, CentOS)
- CI/CD experience using GitLab CI or Jenkins
- Knowledge of container technologies — Docker, Kubernetes, and the broader CNCF ecosystem
- Why You'll Love Working Here
- Work on meaningful, high-impact missions that matter at a national level
- Join a team that values autonomy and trust — you'll own your work
- Grow your skills in a modern cloud-native environment
- Be part of an Agile team that moves fast and collaborates openly
- Ready to Apply?
- If you meet most of the qualifications and are excited about the work, we encourage you to apply. We know great engineers don't always check every box.
- U.S. Citizenship and an active TS/SCI clearance are required for this position.
- Additional Information
- All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
- Compensation is unique to each candidate and relative to the skills and experience they bring to the position. The salary range for this position is typically $155-165k. This does not guarantee a specific salary as compensation is based upon multiple factors such as education, experience, certifications, and other requirements, and may fall outside of the above-stated range.
