## About the Role

* 7+ years in infrastructure / platform / DevOps, with senior ownership of production systems
 * Deep, hands-on Terraform - you've written reusable modules, managed remote state, and untangled drift between code and live infrastructure without breaking things
 * Strong AWS depth: VPC and networking, IAM, EKS, RDS/Aurora, S3, CloudFront, Secrets Manager
 * Kubernetes / EKS operated at production scale - workload identity (Pod Identity / IRSA), Helm, autoscaling, ingress and load balancing
 * GitOps experience (ArgoCD or Flux) and CI/CD pipeline engineering (GitLab CI strongly preferred)
 * DevSecOps in practice: security scanning (SAST, container, IaC, secrets), policy-as-code (OPA / conftest), and the discipline to make gates actually gate
 * Working knowledge of a federal compliance framework - FISMA / NIST 800-53 / RMF and what it takes to support an ATO

Would Be Nice To Have:

 * Multi-account AWS landing zone / Control Tower / Organizations design experience
 * Container supply-chain security: SBOMs, image signing (Notation / AWS Signer), admission control
 * Observability with CloudWatch and/or Grafana
 * FedRAMP or GovCloud exposure
 * Weather, geospatial, or scientific-data domain background

## Description

* Own Terraform for a multi-environment, multi-account AWS estate - modules, state, and the safe reconciliation of live infrastructure into code
 * Operate Amazon EKS clusters (not just consume them): networking, autoscaling, add-ons, workload identity, and cluster lifecycle
 * Run and extend our GitOps delivery model (ArgoCD) where a merge is a deployment, so the review gate and the verification loop matter
 * Build and harden CI/CD pipelines in GitLab: security scanning, secrets detection, policy-as-code, container image scanning and signing, and the evidence trail behind them
 * Advance our security and compliance posture against NIST 800-53 - least-privilege IAM, network isolation, continuous monitoring, and the artifacts that support an Authority to Operate
 * Help design the migration to a federal multi-account landing zone: identity, cross-account networking, and promotion between environments
 * Mentor mid and junior engineers, and raise the bar on change control, review discipline, and "prove it with evidence" engineering
