Cloud Platform Engineer (PaaS)

Active Ts/sci Security Clearance Required

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 $175-185k. 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.

• Highlights of our benefits include Health/Dental/Vision, 401(k) match, Accrued PTO, STD/LTD/Life Insurance, Referral Bonuses, professional development reimbursement, and more!
