As a Platform Engineer, you will herald a transformative era in software engineering, one that underscores the integration of development and operations through a comprehensive Infrastructure platform. Platform engineers, with their wide-ranging technical and problem-solving skills, are shaping the future of software development to efficiently deliver high-quality, secure software by providing automated services that enable SW engineers to focus on developing mission capabilities.
The role's core responsibility is for providing the design, development, implementation, and integration of a computer/network/storage infrastructure, as well as supporting modernizing the program platform’s over-arching design through new emerging technologies and the use of DevOps/DevSecOps tools and automation in order to streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and accelerate the release cycles, thereby driving efficiency and innovation. You will be on a team that is responsible for development and operational environments on a large program producing a critical, strategic national asset. This will include a mixture of hands-on keyboard engineering work as well as documentation and baseline control.

What You Will Do

• Support transitioning a system that is tightly coupled to the underlying infrastructure

• Assist with architecture, design, development, integration, and support of build, integration & test, and deployment pipelines

• Leverage company and industry best practices and capabilities to improve scalability, consistency, and infrastructure efficiency, reduce deployment time, and automate configuration management

• Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, and other agile development teams to design and implement robust platform solutions

• Integrate security and compliance into the platform with services such as encryption and access management

Provide operational support for the platform

Required Skills:

• Typically requires a BS/BA Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or Physics, and 5 years of related work experience

• Experience designing, implementing, and integrating platform infrastructure services using technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker

• Experience with programming/scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java, Ruby, Bash, C++, C#, Go)

• Experience with Red Hat Linux
