As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and maintaining a modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution that supports a large-scale, mission-critical program. This program provides the enterprise hybrid-cloud backbone for product development and testing, enabling the delivery of a strategic national asset. You will work in a dynamic environment that includes a mix of servers, workstations, storage, networks, and custom hardware. Your work will directly contribute to the deployment, implementation, and modernization of cutting-edge infrastructure solutions.
This position requires hands-on technical expertise, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and the ability to document and maintain baseline controls. You will also have opportunities to support the integration of cloud and containerized solutions, ensuring scalability and performance across on-premises and virtualized environments.
What You Will Do
• Develop, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Consul
• Support the deployment and customization of software tools, including the creation of templates, dashboards, and scripts to meet program requirements

• Document processes and maintain baseline control for the IaC solutions.
Provide technical support and guidance to engineers on specialized tools and best practices
• Occasionally travel to customer sites for upgrades and implementation activities as needed
Qualifications You Must Have
• Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of related work experience
• Experience with Linux system administration, including RHEL 6.0+ environments
• Experience with automation frameworks such as Ansible
• Experience with cloud, containerization, and Infrastructure/Platform as a Service (IaaS/PaaS) solutions
• Active and Current TS/SCI CI Poly security clearance is required Day 1. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Qualifications We Prefer
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• Experience deploying applications to Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms
• Proficiency with the Atlassian Tool Suite, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket
