We are seeking a skilled Systems Engineer (Container Platform) to support the design, deployment, hardening, and operational management of containerized application environments within a Federal cloud ecosystem. This role is responsible for establishing secure, scalable, and compliant container platforms leveraging AWS ECS, OpenShift, or Kubernetes-based solutions. The engineer will lead container hardening efforts, implement infrastructure-as-code and automation strategies, and ensure alignment with federal security frameworks including RMF and ATO requirements. This position plays a critical role in enabling reliable, high-availability platforms that support large-scale, mission-critical workloads serving millions of users.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Deploy, configure, and manage container orchestration platforms including AWS ECS, OpenShift, or Kubernetes in production environments.
• Evaluate and harden vendor-supplied container images to meet federal security and compliance requirements.
• Implement container security controls aligned to CIS benchmarks, STIGs, and federal baseline standards.
• Configure and manage container orchestration constructs such as task definitions, services, deployments, and operators.
• Manage full container lifecycle including image versioning, patching, updates, and rollback procedures.
• Design and implement container networking including service discovery, ingress/egress controls, and secure communication patterns.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation for container platform provisioning.
• Implement CI/CD and GitOps workflows to support automated, auditable deployment pipelines.
• Establish configuration baselines, drift detection, and repeatable deployment patterns to support enterprise-scale environments.
• Perform container vulnerability scanning and remediation using enterprise security tools.
• Implement runtime security controls including isolation, resource constraints, and least-privilege access models.
• Configure secure secrets management solutions using AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or equivalent tools.
• Design and implement high availability and resilience strategies including multi-AZ deployments and failover mechanisms.
• Implement auto-scaling policies based on workload demand and performance metrics.
• Develop disaster recovery strategies and backup solutions for containerized workloads.
• Create and maintain operational runbooks, SOPs, and technical documentation supporting RMF compliance and ATO processes.
• Integrate container platforms with enterprise monitoring and logging solutions.
• Troubleshoot performance issues, deployment failures, and system constraints across container environments.
• Collaborate with development, security, networking, and data teams to support containerized application delivery.
• Participate in architecture reviews and provide technical guidance on container platform best practices.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED:
• 5-7 years of experience in systems engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, or infrastructure roles, including at least 3 years of hands-on experience with container platforms (AWS ECS, Kubernetes, or OpenShift) in production environments.
• Hands-on experience implementing container security controls including image scanning, hardening, and vulnerability remediation.
• Experience applying CIS benchmarks, STIGs, and federal security requirements to containerized environments.
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows for infrastructure and application deployments.
• Knowledge of container networking concepts including ingress controllers, service mesh, and network policies.
• Experience with AWS cloud services including EC2, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, and load balancing solutions.
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Experience with Linux system administration including performance tuning and security hardening.
• Understanding of NIST 800-53 security controls and RMF processes.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and containerized workloads.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for documentation and cross-team coordination.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS DESIRED:
• Experience supporting federal or DoD environments with ATO accreditation processes.
• Familiarity with container security platforms such as Prisma Cloud, Aqua Security, or Twistlock.
• Experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio or AWS App Mesh.
• Knowledge of advanced container runtime security and zero-trust architectures.
• Experience implementing immutable infrastructure and advanced GitOps methodologies.
• Familiarity with enterprise monitoring platforms such as Dynatrace, Splunk, or DataDog.
• Experience supporting large-scale, high-availability systems serving enterprise user bases.
• Understanding of enterprise data processing or ETL workloads within containerized environments.
EDUCATION:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Relevant certifications and demonstrated experience may substitute for formal education.
CLEARANCE:
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
WORK LOCATION:
• Remote
As part of the application process, you are expected to be on camera during interviews and assessments. We reserve the right to take your picture to verify your identity and prevent fraud.
