Jobs at Ad Hoc

Lead DevOps strategy and infrastructure for federal programs as an individual contributor. Drive CI/CD and IaC best practices, mentor engineers, design cloud-native architectures (AWS/EKS), ensure security/CMS-NIST compliance for ATO, consolidate DevOps tooling, and represent technical tradeoffs to stakeholders while periodically traveling to clients.

Lead requirements management for a federal enterprise cloud platform: elicit, document, and validate business and technical requirements; translate needs into user stories and acceptance criteria; maintain traceability; model processes; manage scope and change; participate in SAFe ceremonies; ensure security, compliance, and performance requirements are met; support acceptance and validation.

The Senior Technical Growth Architect supports federal capture, proposal efforts, and aligns technical solutions with business growth strategies. This role focuses on developing technical narratives, collaborating across teams, and engaging with customers to ensure successful proposal submissions.

Ensure availability, performance, and reliability of a federal cloud platform. Monitor platform health and SLOs, build observability (metrics, logging, alerting, dashboards), participate in on-call and incident response, run postmortems, automate operational toil, support capacity planning and performance tuning on AWS/EKS, implement infrastructure as code with Terraform, and collaborate with application teams and government partners.

Lead technical authority for a large federal enterprise cloud platform: define, maintain, and govern architecture; ensure scalability, interoperability, performance, and security; coordinate architecture reviews and roadmap planning; mentor architects and engineers; align designs with federal standards; coordinate with DevSecOps, program leadership, and government technical stakeholders.

Provide technical leadership for operating and improving a 24/7 federal cloud platform. Lead and mentor a small engineering team, manage AWS/EKS infrastructure, automate operations with Terraform, ensure platform security/compliance (ATO sustainment), troubleshoot complex issues, and support hiring and performance management.

Build and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure, reusable Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, and EKS/Kubernetes clusters. Improve developer experience, integrate security and quality tooling, collaborate with teams and government partners, and support recruiting and interview activities while expanding infrastructure ownership over time.

Lead monitoring, alerting, and observability for a federal cloud platform. Define SLOs, dashboards, and alerting standards; run 24/7 operational monitoring and incident response; implement observability as code (Terraform); mentor engineers; partner with reliability, platform, and security teams; handle hiring and team performance management.

Lead end-to-end delivery for a large federal enterprise cloud platform: manage scope, schedule, budget, contracts, risks, and quality; operate using Agile/SAFe; hire and develop program staff; coordinate with government stakeholders; ensure security/compliance and identify growth opportunities.

Design, operate, harden, and upgrade production Kubernetes clusters (Amazon EKS). Automate provisioning with Terraform, manage networking, ingress, service mesh, and workload isolation. Balance cost, reliability, and security for a federal cloud platform, mentor engineers, produce design docs, and participate in technical interviews.

Operate, harden, and automate AWS cloud infrastructure and EKS-based Kubernetes platforms. Perform patching, upgrades, configuration management, troubleshooting, and performance tuning. Implement infrastructure as code (Terraform), support security/compliance (ATO, audits, FedRAMP), design for reliability and cost, build reusable modules, mentor engineers, and participate in technical interviews.

Lead reliability for a large federal cloud platform: define SLOs, build observability, run incident response and postmortems, automate toil, design AWS/EKS infrastructure, mentor engineers, and present reliability designs to stakeholders.

Design, operate, and harden secure, automated, scalable CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure. Implement IaC (Terraform), Kubernetes/EKS deployments, and embedded security tooling (SAST, SCA, container/image scanning, policy-as-code). Apply zero-trust principles and support continuous ATO and compliance (FedRAMP/NIST). Collaborate with stakeholders, work in a SAFe cadence, and participate in technical interviews.

Lead engineering teams operating and maintaining a 24/7 federal cloud platform. Own delivery accountability for stability, security, and performance; set technical direction across AWS/EKS and DevSecOps; manage hiring, performance, compliance (ATO/FedRAMP), coordinate with government stakeholders, mitigate risks, and drive continuous improvement.

Lead design, build, and operation of secure, scalable cloud platforms. Automate infrastructure with IaC (Terraform), develop reusable CI/CD pipelines, integrate observability and security, support cloud migrations, improve developer experience, mentor engineers, and coordinate with stakeholders and federal clients to meet compliance and ATO requirements.

Design, build, and operationalize scalable AI/ML infrastructure and data pipelines. Implement model lifecycle management (MCP), integrate agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain), manage vector DBs and feature stores, enable HITL workflows, maintain data architectures, mentor junior engineers, and present work internally and externally.

Serve as an experienced individual contributor and mentor on data engineering initiatives. Design and implement data architectures, ingestion pipelines, cloud databases, and visualizations. Lead smaller teams or projects, present technical designs to stakeholders, diagnose and resolve system issues, and help shape the program's data strategy and best practices.

Lead engineering delivery and people management for Dynamics 365 projects. Shape technical direction, mentor engineers, represent engineering with stakeholders, manage hiring and performance, support bid-writing and client-facing demos, and ensure successful program delivery and technical quality.

Lead technical design and implementation of complex full-stack applications, plan roadmaps, collaborate across product and design, improve reliability and performance, ensure security and accessibility, mentor engineers, support client-facing activities, and periodically travel for meetings and workshops.

Senior DevOps Engineer designs and builds cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, mentors teammates, consolidates DevOps tools, integrates security and quality checks, presents designs to stakeholders, and collaborates with partners to meet SLAs and performance requirements.
