## Description

As a DevOps Engineer supporting operations on site at Fort Carson, Colorado, you are the tactical edge of our engineering team. You aren't just maintaining a platform; you play a key role in the technical success of a project. You will interface directly with customers to understand their unique constraints-such as restricted networks, hardware limitations, or urgent operational requirements-and tailor our automation and deployment strategies to move the needle for them.

You will be responsible for maintaining the end-to-end life cycle of our AI platform across a diverse architectural landscape-including remotely accessible cloud environments and on-premises hardware. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy the challenge of debugging complex Kubernetes clusters where connectivity is a luxury, not a given. You are someone who can navigate the unique constraints of local hardware today and write the automation that ensures seamless, reliable performance across the customer's hybrid stack tomorrow.

This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at our customer sites in Fort Carson, Colorado.
Your day-to-day will include:

 * Customer-centric engineering: Partnering directly with users and stakeholders to translate mission requirements into technical solutions, ensuring that Striveworks' AI capabilities are fully integrated into their existing workflows.
 * Tactical deployment and automation: Building and maintaining infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to deploy custom Kubernetes clusters across diverse environments, (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and on-prem).
 * Integration and troubleshooting: Acting as the primary technical point of contact for troubleshooting complex integrations, you'll be deep in the logs, debugging containerized microservices and network and application configurations to unblock the customer.
 * Product evolution: Feeding field insights back to our core product teams. You are the eyes and ears of the engineering org, identifying friction points in the installation process and automating them away.
 * Mission execution: Leading software deployments on unclassified, CUI, and classified networks, ensuring that our AI remains reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in dynamic environments.

The Right Fit
