#II Site Reliability Engineer II
About The Position
This role requires US citizenship and residence on US soil. It sits within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment, so FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are non-negotiable, not preferred. This isn't a watch-and-wait monitoring seat. Our client needs engineers who can read a Kibana query at 3am, know the difference between a blip and a breach, and act on it, on a FedRAMP-authorised cloud platform that genuinely can't afford downtime. If you're a couple of years into SRE or cloud support and want your next role to open doors into FedRAMP and GovCloud work, this is a strong place to build that experience.
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, with genuine availability for overnight/weekend rotational shifts. This is non-negotiable.
Responsibilities
- Real-time monitoring and first-response triage. Across AWS (Commercial/GovCloud) and EKS infrastructure.
- Log-level root cause investigation. In Kibana and Elasticsearch, you'll actually dig, not just escalate.
- CVE remediation and STIG hardening. On your patch, within FedRAMP SLA windows.
- Deployment execution and troubleshooting. Through GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.
Benefits
- Competitive W2 hourly rate. $70–$90/hr, with overnight/weekend shift premium built in, DOE.
