Role Summary

This role supports production Kubernetes platforms operating in secure, compliance-driven environments. The work is operational and sustainment-focused, not application feature development or greenfield cloud builds.

Engineers in this role own Kubernetes clusters used by mission teams. Responsibilities include day-to-day operations, upgrades, compliance activities, and reliability of existing systems.

This is not a DevOps “pipeline” role and not a software engineering position.

What You Will Be Doing

• Operate and sustain production Kubernetes clusters in secure environments
• Configure and maintain Kubernetes networking, RBAC, storage, and core services
• Deploy and manage workloads using Helm and Git-based workflows
• Perform compliance-driven sustainment (patching, upgrades, documentation, change records)
• Monitor system health using logging and observability tools
• Troubleshoot cluster-level issues impacting availability, performance, or security
• Maintain operational documentation, runbooks, and audit artifacts
• Coordinate with mission stakeholders, security teams, and ISSOs

Required Skills (Non-Negotiable)

You must have hands-on experience with all of the following:

• Operating Kubernetes clusters (not just developing against them)
• Kubernetes networking and configuration in secure or classified environments
• Supporting compliance, sustainment, or operations work with attention to detail
• Linux system administration in production environments
• Writing and maintaining technical documentation and change records
• Working in environments with evolving security and mission requirements

Required Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI with FS Polygraph
• Prior experience supporting production systems (not lab or training clusters)
• Comfort owning operational responsibility for mission systems

Desired (But Still Specific)

• Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Salt)
• Helm-based deployment and cluster management
• Rancher or similar Kubernetes management platforms
• Observability tools (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Grafana, Prometheus)
• Security+ or equivalent certification

Work Environment

• Secure mission environment
• Telework available up to 16 hours per week (role is not fully remote)
• Operational responsibility for systems already in production
