About The Position

Peraton is seeking GEOINT Platform Engineers to develop, operate, and sustain cloud-based platform services and runtime environments that support mission applications and tenant workloads. The role focuses on standardized application hosting, multi-tenant platform environments, tenant configuration, deployment integration, performance, capacity, and application lifecycle management. The position is fully onsite in Chantilly, Virginia. Engineers build and operate standardized tenant environments across approved security domains, support repeatable development through recovery environment patterns, and maintain tenant-specific configurations and integrations while preserving common platform standards. They host mission applications in standardized cloud and containerized environments, integrate applications with shared platform and data services, and support deployment, scaling, monitoring, lifecycle management, and retirement. The role also monitors availability, utilization, performance, and capacity across tenant environments; performs capacity and performance analysis; recommends infrastructure and configuration changes; and supports troubleshooting, Tier 3/4 production operations, and scheduled maintenance. Engineers collaborate with application development and other engineering teams to ensure reliable integration and continuous improvement of platform services.
