Description

  • Package, configure, and integrate foundational Kubernetes services across identity, secrets management, service mesh, policy, and observability layers.
  • Define reusable packaging patterns, schemas, validation rules, and automation for platform service bundles and packages.
  • Build, validate, and maintain OCI images, deployment bundles, Helm charts, and Kubernetes manifests for consistent delivery across environments.
  • Automate service delivery workflows using Go, Python, and CI/CD to reduce manual deployment steps and improve reliability.
  • Establish secure software supply chain practices, including artifact provenance, vulnerability management, dependency tracking, signing, and validation.
  • Build and maintain GitLab CI pipelines for packaging, testing, scanning, validation, promotion, and publishing of service artifacts.
  • Define validation, health check, rollback, and upgrade patterns for repeatable deployments across cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments.
  • Contribute to Architecture Decision Records for packaging standards, deployment patterns, security controls, and platform integration decisions.
  • Partner with and mentor engineers across teams to help them adopt service packaging patterns and Kubernetes deployment constraints.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting production Kubernetes services.
  • Deep experience packaging, configuring, upgrading, and maintaining Kubernetes-based services using OCI images, Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and deployment bundles.
  • Proficiency with GitLab CI, GitOps workflows, FluxCD, Helm, and Kustomize.
  • Strong understanding of Linux, container runtimes, OCI images, DNS, TLS, ingress, service mesh concepts, network policy, and Kubernetes networking.
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning, dependency management, SBOMs, artifact provenance, image signing, and secure promotion workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with three or more foundational platform service categories such as identity and access management, secrets management, observability, service mesh, policy enforcement, or admission control.
  • Strong professional software engineering experience with Go and/or Python, automated testing, code review, debugging, and maintainable automation.
  • Ability to view services, infrastructure, Kubernetes primitives, deployment workflows, and team boundaries as parts of one platform system.
  • An engineering mindset that anticipates asynchronous failures in distributed systems and designs highly available, self-healing control planes.
  • Investigative debugging experience with complex Kubernetes and distributed service failures involving controllers, network dependencies, certificates, secrets, and startup order.
  • Preferred: experience delivering software into disconnected, restricted, regulated, or high-security environments.
  • Preferred: hands-on production operations experience supporting services and improving reliability from incident feedback.
  • Preferred: advanced telemetry-driven debugging using metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerts, and Kubernetes events.
  • Preferred: experience managing long-term service lifecycle concerns such as upgrades, compatibility testing, deprecation planning, and repeatable releases.
  • Preferred: demonstrated ability to use AI tools to accelerate engineering work, improve tests and documentation, and increase delivery speed.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $120,000 to $345,000.
  • Opportunity to work on mission-focused national security platforms supporting the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense.
  • Equal opportunity employer consideration for all qualified applicants regardless of protected status.
  • Work on a modern engineering environment with advanced workflows, CI/CD, and secure DevSecOps practices.
  • Chance to join a people-focused organization that emphasizes growth, innovation, and valued contributions.
