Lead IaC, Kubernetes platform operations, CI/CD automation, GitOps workflows, observability, and automation to ensure resilient, compliant multi-tenant application delivery while collaborating with software and security teams.

Lead technical design and execution for an AI/ML mission platform: drive architecture decisions, lead major engineering epics, simplify distributed systems, optimize edge and cloud performance, mentor engineers, integrate ML models and inference pipelines, and represent technical capabilities to DoD stakeholders.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will design and maintain Kubernetes-based infrastructure, manage CI/CD pipelines, develop Infrastructure as Code, optimize data pipelines, and ensure platform reliability and security for defense applications.

Deploy, automate, and maintain enterprise platform infrastructure using IaC, Ansible, GitOps, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. Build GitOps workflows, automate configuration management, onboard applications, ensure secure automated deployments, troubleshoot failures, and produce technical documentation for classified national-security platforms.

Embedded Principal Engineer responsible for deploying, integrating, and operating Raft data and AI platforms at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Write production code (Go/Java/Rust), manage Kubernetes deployments, implement DevSecOps practices, build automation and runbooks, integrate Army data sources, and act as the senior on-site technical lead while feeding field lessons back to product teams.

The Platform Engineer will automate and manage system infrastructures, focusing on container orchestration and system performance across various technologies, ensuring security for national defense projects.

The AI/ML Engineer will develop and evaluate machine learning models, integrate them into the [R]AIMS platform, and ensure operational deployment. Collaboration with engineers and mission stakeholders is essential.

The Growth Strategy Associate supports product development and market research for defense technology, coordinating opportunities and gathering feedback to inform strategy.

Join Raft to innovate national defense technology. Collaborate on AI, machine learning, and UX/UI design to create impactful defense solutions.

The Program/Product Manager oversees program health, manages Agile software development teams, engages with DoD stakeholders, and drives mission success while adapting to shifting priorities.

Design, build, and operate secure, production-grade Kubernetes/Docker clusters and CI/CD/GitOps pipelines for a real-time, data-intensive DoD platform. Work with streaming tech (Kafka/Pinot/Flink), IaC, monitoring/logging, and cloud infrastructure to enable millisecond-latency event processing and operational decisioning.

Manage and automate enterprise RHEL and Windows infrastructure using Ansible/Puppet; deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters (RKE2/Rancher); operate open-source data and observability tools; ensure performance, security, and documentation; collaborate across teams on mission-critical defense projects.

Design, implement, and operate secure cloud-native CI/CD pipelines and cluster/application lifecycles using Kubernetes/Docker and GitOps. Ensure deployments meet STIG/DOD security standards, build automation and IaC, integrate log/analytics, and collaborate with clients to deliver DevSecOps solutions.

The Program/Product Manager will oversee program health, manage Agile software development teams, engage with DoD stakeholders, and ensure program success while adapting to evolving requirements.

The Senior Sales Engineer will bridge product and sales teams, translating technical capabilities into compelling narratives, leading demos, and managing customer engagements to drive business growth in defense technology.

Design, harden, and operate secure Kubernetes-based platforms across cloud, on-prem, disconnected, and classified environments. Own GitOps/CI/CD, IaC, supply-chain security, observability, compliance automation, and MLOps support. Mentor engineers, troubleshoot distributed systems, and engage with customers to ensure deployable, compliant, and observable mission systems.
