Job#: 3042159
Job Description:
Platform Engineer
Washington D.C.
TS/SCI Clearance (Polygraph Preferred)
The Federal Platform Engineer is a crucial member of the team who is responsible for the Agentic AI platformʼs scalability and reliability. Serving as the primary architect and operator of the infrastructure required to run complex, agentic applications, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of the platform—from initial infrastructure-as-code provisioning to high-scale, day-two operations. In this role, you bridge the gap between cloud-native engineering and the unique demands of AI/LLM workloads, ensuring that agentic systems are backed by resilient, secure, and performant environments.
You are deeply passionate about automation, Kubernetes orchestration, and the
operational rigor required to support real-time, stateful agent execution. Rather than just deploying "black box" infrastructure, you thrive on solving the complexities of high-scale systems: managing GPU orchestration, optimizing vector database performance, and implementing robust observability pipelines that provide visibility into the "thought process" of live agents.
● Scalable Foundations: Design and implement the path from local development to deployed federal cloud clusters (AWS GovCloud/Azure Government) using
Kubernetes EKS/AKS, Infrastructure as Code, Terraform/OpenTofu/CDK, and
GitOps controllers Flux/Argo CD.
● Optimized Compute: Configure and manage specialized compute resources,
including GPU-accelerated node groups and serverless scaling policies, to support inference and training workloads.
● Network & Security Hardening: Implement Zero Trust architecture principles,
ensuring secure communication between microservices, agentic tools, and
external APIs through service meshes (e.g., Istio) and egress controls.
● Packaging & Promotion: Author and maintain Helm charts for application delivery, managing the promotion path from local-to-AWS and ensuring consistency across environments.
Minimum Qualifications
● Current, active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
● Current, active Security+ or equivalent certificate for privileged user access.
● 5 years of professional infrastructure, DevOps or platform engineering
experience, with a focus on cloud-native infrastructure.
● 3 years of experience managing production Kubernetes environments.
● 3 years of experience with Flux (or equivalent GitOps controller like Argo CD) and authoring/maintaining Helm charts.
● Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
● Practical experience operating systems in U.S. Federal or DoD environments.
