- Proficiency with Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, and GitOps workflows.
- US citizenship and US-soil residency.
- Availability for rotational on-call coverage.
Responsibilities
- Reliability and design decisions across multi-cluster Amazon EKS and AWS Commercial/GovCloud infrastructure.
- Advanced incident response, including root cause analysis, resolution, and post-incident reporting.
- Contributing to FedRAMP compliance through vulnerability management, DISA STIG hardening, and implementing NIST SP 800-53 controls.
- Developing and maintaining observability architecture using tools like Prometheus and Grafana, and defining meaningful SLIs/SLOs.

- Competitive W2 hourly rate ($85–$105/hr).
