  • Integrate open-source technologies and custom components to improve resilience, performance, and maintainability.
  • Automate operating-system provisioning, configuration, and deployment workflows.
  • Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to solve complex platform integration and operating-system issues.
  • Use Go or Python to build platform automation and supporting tools, depending on the specific opening.
  • Strengthen platform monitoring, security, and operational documentation.

These are hybrid openings based from our office in Columbia, MD or San Antonio, TX. The current openings generally anticipate about one or two office days per week, depending on the specific opening. Some Columbia assignments include periodic travel to San Antonio. Customer needs may change onsite frequency and travel requirements.

  • Openings requiring more extensive experience: at least 9 years with a related bachelor's degree; 7 years with a related master's degree; or 13 years with a high-school diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong Linux fundamentals, including hosts, networking, system security, troubleshooting, and shell/Bash scripting.
  • Hands-on AWS infrastructure deployment and/or administration, according to the specific opening.
  • Experience deploying or managing Kubernetes and associated workloads.
  • Ability to write platform code or automation in Go or Python, depending on the specific opening.
  • Strong systems integration skills, a practical understanding of infrastructure as code, and the ability to work independently toward architectural goals.
  • Ability to meet office attendance and periodic travel requirements.
  • An applicable DoD 8140/8570 certification may be required, depending on the specific opening and customer direction.
  • Candidates are considered for openings that match their skills; experience in every specialty below is not required.
  • Go-focused platform engineering: Depending on the specific opening, use Go to integrate services, automate AWS infrastructure, and develop platform capabilities.
  • Kubernetes administration and GitOps: Depending on the specific opening, work with cluster administration, Docker or Podman, Helm, Kustomize, Flux, and deployment troubleshooting.
  • Infrastructure, provisioning, and storage: Depending on the specific opening, use Ansible, Puppet, Kickstart, or infrastructure-as-code tools; support Ceph, Rook, Longhorn, or other storage layers.
  • Cloud integration and automation: Depending on the specific opening, design AWS-hosted capabilities, improve existing codebases, and develop Python or Go tooling.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
