We’re building and operating the cloud platform that runs on AWS with Kubernetes (EKS), a fully GitOps deployment model, and infrastructure defined entirely as code. We’re a FISMA-Moderate environment actively maturing toward a multi-account federal landing zone, so this role sits right at the intersection of platform engineering, security, and compliance — where the interesting problems are. You’ll be a senior hand on a small, high-trust team. We move real infrastructure through code and pipelines, not tickets and click-ops, and we hold each other to that standard. If you like owning the whole path from a Terraform plan to a running, verified, signed workload and doing it in a way that stands up to an ATO review then this is the job for you.

Job Responsibilities

• Own Terraform for a multi-environment, multi-account AWS estate - modules, state, and the safe reconciliation of live infrastructure into code
• Operate Amazon EKS clusters (not just consume them): networking, autoscaling, add-ons, workload identity, and cluster lifecycle
• Run and extend our GitOps delivery model (ArgoCD) where a merge is a deployment, so the review gate and the verification loop matter
• Build and harden CI/CD pipelines in GitLab: security scanning, secrets detection, policy-as-code, container image scanning and signing, and the evidence trail behind them
• Advance our security and compliance posture against NIST 800-53 - least-privilege IAM, network isolation, continuous monitoring, and the artifacts that support an Authority to Operate
• Help design the migration to a federal multi-account landing zone: identity, cross-account networking, and promotion between environments
• Mentor mid and junior engineers, and raise the bar on change control, review discipline, and “prove it with evidence” engineering

Here's What You Need

• 7+ years in infrastructure / platform / DevOps, with senior ownership of production systems
• Deep, hands-on Terraform — you’ve written reusable modules, managed remote state, and untangled drift between code and live infrastructure without breaking things
• Strong AWS depth: VPC and networking, IAM, EKS, RDS/Aurora, S3, CloudFront, Secrets Manager
