#II Site Reliability Engineer II

C-ServArlington, VA
Hybrid

About The Position

This role is for a Site Reliability Engineer II in the Metro DC area, operating in a Hybrid model within a 24/7 FedRAMP Operations environment with rotational shifts. The position requires US citizenship and residence on US soil, as it operates within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment where FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are mandatory. This is not a passive monitoring role; engineers are expected to actively investigate and resolve issues, including reading Kibana queries at 3 am, distinguishing between minor fluctuations and security breaches, and acting upon them to ensure the continuous operation of a FedRAMP-authorised cloud platform. This role is ideal for individuals with a couple of years of experience in SRE or cloud support looking to gain experience in FedRAMP and GovCloud environments.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in SRE, DevOps, systems administration, or cloud support.
  • Solid Linux administration (RHEL, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu) and comfort with bash/Python scripting.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes/EKS, AWS core services, and L4/L7 load balancing troubleshooting.
  • Prometheus, Grafana, and ChatOps-via-Slack experience.
  • US citizenship and US-soil residency.
  • Genuine availability for overnight/weekend rotational shifts.

Responsibilities

  • Real-time monitoring and first-response triage across AWS (Commercial/GovCloud) and EKS infrastructure.
  • Log-level root cause investigation using Kibana and Elasticsearch.
  • CVE remediation and STIG hardening within FedRAMP SLA windows.
  • Deployment execution and troubleshooting using GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.

Benefits

  • A defined engagement from mid-September through end of March.
  • Clear shift expectations up front.
  • Competitive W2 hourly rate ($70–$90/hr).
  • Overnight/weekend shift premium.
  • Opportunity to gain FedRAMP/GovCloud experience.
  • Stepping stone toward Senior SRE roles.
  • Support from a delivery partner that treats contractors well.
