About the company

A rapidly growing defense technology company in the DC area (VA) is hiring a full-time Infrastructure Engineer to help build and scale cloud infrastructure supporting next-generation AI platforms. This is a hybrid opportunity (2-3 days onsite) focused on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, Rust, CI/CD, and cloud-native infrastructure in a highly secure environment.

This is an opportunity to join an early engineering team where you’ll help define the infrastructure from the ground up rather than inherit legacy systems. You’ll have significant ownership, strong technical growth, and the opportunity to influence architecture as the team expands.
