Bonus Points * Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, including Azure Government (GCC High) or Azure Government Secret / IL5-IL6 environments. * Experience achieving or maintaining an Authority to Operate (ATO) under RMF in a DoD or federal environment. * Experience standing up or operating in multi-cloud environments spanning AWS and Azure. * Familiarity with edge or disconnected/degraded/intermittent/limited (DDIL) deployment patterns for classified or tactical environments. * Prior experience at an early-stage startup or other fast-moving, high-ownership engineering team. * Background in logistics, supply chain, or defense sustainment systems. Mission and Identity We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works. ## Description Gallatin is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to keep our production systems running with the reliability our national security customers require. You'll work at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and mission-critical uptime - building and operating the systems that turn logistics data into decisions in real time, including in classified and disconnected environments. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who treats reliability as a product: someone who instruments before things break, automates the toil away, and owns incidents from detection through postmortem., * Own the reliability, availability, and performance of production systems supporting Gallatin's logistics decision platform, including services deployed in classified and air-gapped environments. * Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability pipelines that surface problems before customers do. * Lead incident response for production issues, driving triage and resolution and running blameless postmortems that turn into concrete engineering fixes., * Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code that let engineering ship safely and often, across both cloud and classified network environments. * Automate manual operational work (deployments, scaling, failover, credential rotation) to reduce toil and remove single points of failure. * Harden systems to meet DoD security and compliance requirements (e.g., RMF, STIGs, ATO processes) without slowing down delivery., * Partner with software engineers to define SLOs/SLIs and build reliability into services from design through deployment. * Work directly with government customers and field teams to understand mission environments and translate operational constraints into system requirements. * Document runbooks, architecture decisions, and operational procedures so the systems you build can be run by the whole team, not just you. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies)
