Maintain and support Kubernetes and containerized application deployments.
Support on-prem lab infrastructure, virtualization platforms, virtual machines, and related network/storage dependencies.
Support development teams by creating reusable deployment patterns, templates, documentation, and runbooks.
Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD workflows using tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
Troubleshoot issues across Linux systems, virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes resources, networking, DNS, TLS, ingress, and application runtime environments.
Manage and support artifact repository workflows using tools such as Nexus or Artifactory.
Maintain deployment documentation, environment standards, operational procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
Help ensure customer demos, training environments, and prototype deployments are stable, prepared, and repeatable.
Automate environment setup, validation checks, deployment steps, and routine operational tasks using Bash, Python, or similar scripting tools.
Contribute to platform and deployment design discussions by recommending practical improvements and helping turn architecture direction into repeatable implementation patterns.
Support basic security and compliance activities, including patching, vulnerability remediation, secrets management, TLS/certificate management, RBAC, least privilege, and secure configuration practices.
Lab and demo environments are more stable, better documented, and easier to maintain.
Development teams can deploy more consistently using standard patterns, templates, and runbooks.
Customer demos, product experiments, and training environments require less last-minute manual effort and are more reliable.
Education and Background
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
The ideal candidate will have experience in platform engineering, DevOps, systems engineering, cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related technical role. Experience should include hands-on work with Linux systems, containers, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure concepts, virtualization or on-prem lab environments, networking fundamentals, and deployment automation.
Years of Experience
4–6 years
Required Skills
4–6 years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, systems engineering, cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related technical role.
Hands-on Linux administration and troubleshooting experience.
Experience working with containers and Docker.
Kubernetes user-level experience, including deploying applications, reviewing pods/logs/events, and working with services, ingress, namespaces, config maps, and basic Helm usage.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or similar tools.
Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts, preferably with AWS and/or Azure.
Experience supporting lab, development, or demo environments using virtualization or on-prem infrastructure.
Understanding of networking fundamentals, including DNS, TLS, ingress, routing, firewalls, and basic connectivity troubleshooting.
Experience writing Bash, Python, or similar scripts to automate repeatable platform, deployment, or operational tasks.
Experience with artifact repositories such as Nexus or Artifactory.
Ability to work in ambiguous environments, identify practical next steps, and drive tasks to completion.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining reliable, documented environments.
Experience with Proxmox, VMware, Hyper-V, or similar virtualization platforms.
Experience with Ansible or other configuration management tools.
Experience with Harness or other modern CI/CD platforms.
Experience with SonarQube or similar code quality/security tooling.
Experience with Vault or other secrets management platforms.
Familiarity with container/image scanning, vulnerability management, and secure software delivery practices.
Basic awareness of CMMC, NIST 800-171, ATO, FedRAMP, STIGs, or federal compliance environments.
AWS Associate-level certification.
RHCSA or other Linux certification.
Working Conditions
This role is hybrid, with occasional on-site support required for lab and demo environment activities. Work will primarily involve computer-based engineering tasks, including platform operations, troubleshooting, documentation, CI/CD support, automation, and collaboration with development teams.
The role may occasionally require support for customer demos, training environments, prototypes, and internal engineering activities. The position may require limited physical interaction with lab equipment, servers, networking devices, or workstations, including basic setup, cabling, inspection, or troubleshooting. No significant physical labor is expected.
