Job Description
Job Title: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer
Location: Remote (U.S.-based only)
Clearance Required: Active Secret
Employment Type: Full-Time, 6-Month Engagement (starting ~August 1, 2025)
Salary & Benefits: Competitive base + bonus structure, 401(k) match, comprehensive health benefits, generous PTO, and full remote flexibility
About the Role
Metronome is seeking a skilled Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer to support the delivery of a prototype OTA project aligned with the U.S. Air Force's Platform One (P1). This is a 6-month engagement focused on building the infrastructure foundation for our internal product, Fractive, which will compete against other offerings during a "flyoff" to secure a long-term production OTA award. This is a highly strategic role for an automation-focused engineer who thrives in cloud-first environments and enjoys solving infrastructure challenges with code.
Why This Role Matters
P1 Prototype Flyoff: Help shape and deliver the cloud-native infrastructure behind Fractive as part of a head-to-head R&D competition.
Production OTA Potential: If selected at the end of the PoP, your work will feed directly into a long-term, multi-option contract supporting software modernization across DoD.
Marketplace Advantage: Fractive is already "awardable" on Big Bang Marketplace, and success here increases visibility and future adoption across the government.
Responsibilities
Design and implement cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform
Develop resilient, scalable, and secure systems on AWS, with potential cross-cloud support (Azure, GCP)
Integrate infrastructure provisioning into CI/CD pipelines to support automated, reliable software deployments
Embed security and compliance controls directly into IaC workflows and architectures
Collaborate closely with DevOps, engineering, and product teams to support iterative, Agile software delivery
Optimize cloud infrastructure for performance, cost-efficiency, and operational reliability
Build and maintain clear documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, and recovery playbooks
Stay informed on emerging trends in cloud computing, DevSecOps, and automation tooling
