Responsibilities:
- Automate Everything: Write Python scripts and automation to glue disparate systems together. If you have to do it twice, you automate it.
- Architect the Cloud: Design, build, and maintain robust infrastructure in AWS and/or Azure, ensuring our solutions are as scalable as they are secure.
- Treat Infrastructure as Code: Manage deployments and configuration via code, because clicking around a web console manually is a sin.
- Bridge Dev and Sec: Embed security into the pipeline from day one. You will ensure we operate compliantly without grinding development to a halt.
- Elicit Requirements: Talk directly with end-users and developers to extract their true infrastructure requirements—helping them build what they actually need, rather than what they think they want.
- Python Proficiency: You are a developer at heart and know your way around Python (and the good news is, we won't make you touch JavaScript or center a div).
- Cloud Expertise: Deep, battle-tested experience with AWS and/or Azure.
- IaC Mastery: Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools, specifically Terraform or Ansible.
- Sysadmin Chops: A solid foundation in system administration and Linux (because deep down, you know the problem is usually DNS).
- Git Workflows: Familiarity with GitLab for day-to-day version control, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development.
- Experience with AI-assisted software development or engineering workflows (knowing how to effectively prompt your way out of a corner).
- Proficiency with agentic AI harnesses and frameworks to automate complex, multi-step infrastructure tasks.
- Knowledge of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems.
- Experience with production CNO (Computer Network Operations) capabilities and operations.
- Service containerization and orchestration experience using Docker and Kubernetes (because "it works on my machine" is not a valid deployment strategy).
