We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Platform Engineer with strong multi-platform Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency to join our Federal Engineering team.

This role involves managing Unified Defense Stack (UDS) deployments, generating training documentation, and training system integrators on our software tools.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cross-functional relationship management, technical expertise, demonstrating a strong understanding of system architecture, and a passion for helping mission heroes (what we call our customers) achieve their goals with the UDS platform.

Support Kubernetes-based deployments in both on-prem and cloud infrastructure, ensuring platform components operate reliably across hybrid environments.

Implement and manage storage services across AWS and on-premises environments, including persistent storage decoupled from ephemeral VMs, backup and recovery, and cross-environment data synchronization.

Support networking, identity, and security controls across hybrid environments, including integration with IAM solutions (e.g., Keycloak, AWS IAM).
