Quindar
What You’ll Be Doing
Architect, automate, test, deploy, and maintain a well-designed, highly available cloud infrastructure in AWS GovCloud and AWS C2E with a strong focus on security, compliance, and operational excellence. You will ensure adherence to SOC2, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP Moderate controls while supporting cleared environments and workflows.
You will also manage the deployment and ongoing maintenance of Quindar deployments at government sites. As the team grows, you will define best practices for availability, latency, and performance across all services.
A key mission focus will be driving Quindar’s readiness and deployment onto AWS C2E, including control implementation, continuous container hardening, deployment configuration, and networking requirements.
Some of your responsibilities will include incident management, supporting a 24/7 on-call rotation, and technical troubleshooting of complex enterprise and mission-critical systems. Ideally, the systems and automation you create significantly reduce the need for manual intervention.
You will work closely with engineering teams (frontend, backend, and flight/mission operations engineers) to ensure the Quindar system is operational to all required performance metrics.
Technical Skills
Deep experience with Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and serverless architectures
Expertise managing Kubernetes clusters with AWS EKS or Rancher as well as with integrating AWS cloud-specific services

Strong understanding of networking: VPNs, NLB/ALBs, HTTPS, TLS, VPC peering, and CDN integration
Strong knowledge of designing, analyzing, and troubleshooting API services, distributed NoSQL/relational databases, caching systems, event-driven architectures, and multi-tier systems
Strong background in task automation and CI/CD pipeline development (GitLab Workflows preferred but not required)
Understanding of Unix/Linux operating systems
Knowledge of cloud security best practices, enclave boundary protections, enclave-to-enclave interconnects, and cost-efficient architectures
Experience with identity and access management (Auth0, Keycloak, AWS IAM, or ICAM patterns)
Strong git fundamentals and preferred experience managing software product deployment across multiple classification levels.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
3+ years of professional experience as an SRE, DevOps, reliability, infrastructure, or platform engineer
