Your Dream. Our Team.

About Rise8

Rise8 builds custom, secure software for government organizations, measuring success by impact: lives saved, time returned, and missions advanced.

We think big, start small, and scale fast with elite teams across product, design, and engineering to drive continuous delivery for critical missions.

We believe customer experience starts with employee experience, so we take care of our employees. Rise8 is where you’ll do the best work of your career—supported by a culture you won’t find anywhere else. We offer competitive pay and benefits, but what sets us apart is our commitment to autonomy, growth, and a culture rooted in kindness, candor, and continuous learning.

Certified as a Great Place to Work®, with 100% of employees saying they love working here, Rise8 is where bold ideas become real capabilities. Where mission meets meaning. And where fewer bad things happen because of bad software.

About You

  • You’re mission-driven and measure success by impact (lives saved, time returned, missions advanced), not activity.
  • You think big, start small, and scale fast. You treat time as the biggest vulnerability and security as something that enables speed.
  • You lead with kindness and candor: you give honest feedback, take it well, and raise the bar for everyone around you.
  • You’re an owner. You thrive with autonomy, act decisively, and stay steady when things are uncertain.
  • You're building with AI and see it as a force multiplier not a shortcut.

As a Platform Engineer III at Rise8, you will:

  • Create and implement automated configuration and deployment processes to enhance the performance, accessibility, and ease of management of the platform and its related services.
  • Establish and manage administrator and service accounts, while also maintaining accurate system documentation and effectively resolving technical issues.
  • Utilize scripting tools to craft self-service capabilities within the Platform as a Service (PaaS), fostering a seamless developer experience for development teams.
  • Collaborate closely with developers to diagnose and troubleshoot problems, ensuring smooth operations.
  • Take on the operational responsibility for the services under your team's ownership.
  • Thrive in an environment that nurtures your personal development and growth.
  • Ability to work "on-call" to support customer needs
  • Continuously enhance the product, delivering software that resonates positively with users and meets their needs effectively.
  • Champion AI-augmented ways of working across your engagement(s), leveraging AI tooling to accelerate delivery, reduce cycle time, and drive better outcomes at scale.

Qualifications

  • A background of 3-6 years in cloud/platform operations or related roles across diverse environments.
  • Proficiency in administering cloud environments (AWS, Azure or GCP).
  • Expertise in container orchestration, specifically Kubernetes.
  • Proficient use of Infrastructure as Code (IAC) tools, with a focus on Terraform.
  • Subject Matter Expertise in Linux Operating Systems administration.
  • Skilled in developing automation solutions using scripting languages to streamline recurring tasks.
  • Familiarity with networking concepts and practical experience involving technologies like Load Balancers, DNS, SSL, Firewalls, NAT, and NTP.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot operating systems and applications effectively.
  • Experience handling large-scale production systems and adeptness in resolving production-related challenges.
  • Excellent communication skills, and a keen interest in collaborative work environments.
  • Enthusiasm for skill growth, a penchant for tackling intriguing tasks, and addressing complex issues.
  • A degree (BA/BS) in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Ability to obtain a security clearance for US Government work.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in troubleshooting challenges using the Linux/Unix command line interface.
  • Possession of recognized Professional Certifications such as RHCE, Linux+, MCSA, AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Developer, Security+, CISSP, and CCNA.
  • Background in DevOps automation practices.
  • Direct experience in client interaction.

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.
