## Description

We are seeking a Senior Hybrid Cloud / Kubernetes Engineer to design, build, operate, and sustain the cloud and on-premises infrastructure supporting platform services and mission-critical workloads in highly secure environments.

This role offers the opportunity to work across AWS classified environments, Kubernetes platforms, on-premises infrastructure, networking, storage, security controls, and tenant services. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on infrastructure expertise and understands how to engineer reliable, scalable, and consistent solutions across cloud, on-premises, and restricted deployment environments.

As part of a highly technical engineering team, you will help build and operate hybrid infrastructure, support growing tenant environments, troubleshoot complex platform issues, and contribute to the reliability, resiliency, and performance of mission-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities Cloud & Platform Engineering
Design, deploy, configure, and operate AWS infrastructure supporting shared services, mission hosting, and tenant environments.

 * Deploy, configure, and operate Kubernetes and container platforms, including EKS or comparable technologies.
 * Engineer and support compute, storage, load balancing, DNS, ingress, egress, and supporting platform services.
 * Evaluate and support workload placement decisions based on mission, security, performance, connectivity, and operational requirements.
 * Develop and maintain scalable, repeatable infrastructure patterns across diverse deployment environments.

Hybrid Infrastructure

 * Integrate cloud environments with on-premises and restricted-network infrastructure.
 * Maintain common platform patterns where practical while accounting for the unique requirements and constraints of different deployment environments.
 * Support backup, recovery, resiliency, capacity, patching, and platform lifecycle activities.
 * Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues spanning cloud, Kubernetes, storage, networking, and operating systems.
 * Support the reliability, scalability, and operational performance of production infrastructure across hybrid environments.

Tenant & Shared-Service Support

 * Support standardized tenant infrastructure and reusable environment patterns.
 * Partner with Infrastructure-as-Code engineers to ensure infrastructure can be provisioned and maintained through controlled, repeatable automation.
 * Support platform services including identity, CI/CD, observability, repositories, and mission-hosting dependencies.
 * Participate in Tier 3/4 troubleshooting and escalation for complex infrastructure and application-platform issues.
 * Participate in scheduled maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and ongoing platform lifecycle activities.
 * Support on-call responsibilities for production infrastructure and platform services.
