About the role

  • Design, implement, and operate secure, cloud-native infrastructure that powers Obviant’s core platform
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable high-velocity, high-reliability shipping across teams
  • Work with containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) to automate deployments and manage environments
  • Develop Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks to standardize and scale system provisioning
  • Implement and uphold DevSecOps best practices—hardening images, managing vulnerabilities, and automating security controls
  • Collaborate with full-stack engineers and data teams to support ingestion pipelines, new product workflows, and user-facing features
  • Troubleshoot infrastructure issues in real time, identify root causes, and drive long-term improvements to reliability and performance
  • Participate in research and development to improve automation, observability, build tooling, and operational efficiency
  • Contribute directly to how government technology is built and delivered by shaping infrastructure strategy end-to-end

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience operating cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; GCP/Azure welcome)
  • Strong knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, EKS, Helm, etc.)
  • Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Understanding of container/image hardening and vulnerability management
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Typescript, Go, etc…)
  • Experience debugging distributed systems and automating workflows
  • Strong communication skills—clear, concise, and collaborative
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and drive outcomes with high ownership
  • Passion for national security and mission-driven work.
  • Comfortable with the pace and expectations of a fast-growing startup
Benefits
  • Flexible schedule - We all have other things going on in our lives. Doctor visits, kids’ activities, dog walks - take care of it whenever you have to. And work from home when you need to.
  • Competitive compensation + Sizeable equity - We’re building something with massive upside potential, and you’ll have ownership in that. This is ours.
  • Flexible vacation time - Use what you want, as long as you’re taking care of what needs to get done.
  • Full health, dental, and vision insurance.
