Your Mission:
Join ClearEdge as a DevOps Engineer, where you will build, package, promote, and operate the infrastructure behind one of our core AI-enabled products including CI/CD, containers, hardening, and both hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped deployment paths, supporting AI services and application platforms built with tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores. Delivery is AI-assisted, and you own the pipelines, automation, and outcomes.
You will support and enhance a containerized application stack, deploying and operating identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production, and automating complex processes with both deterministic and non-deterministic tools.
You Will Excel in This Role If You Are:
- Experienced with Infrastructure-as-Code practices and tooling
- Skilled in containerized and orchestrated deployments, and comfortable in Linux environments
- Fluent with AI-native IDEs and comfortable using them as your default way of working
- Strong in version control habits
- Comfortable working in hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped environments
- Familiar with deploying and operating apps in the TypeScript/Python/React ecosystem
- Capable of automating deployment and configuration management processes, using both deterministic scripting and AI-assisted/agentic tools
- Experienced troubleshooting deployment and infrastructure issues
- Comfortable scripting in Python or TypeScript, with tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores
A Day in the Life:
- Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code solutions
- Automate configuration management and deployment processes
- Deploy and manage containerized applications within orchestration environments
- Support secure system builds and hardened infrastructure baselines
- Deploy and operate identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production systems
- Collaborate with system administrators, engineers, and security teams
- Troubleshoot deployment, orchestration, and infrastructure issues
- Support documentation and security accreditation activities
- Support development efforts in Python or TypeScript as needed
What We Are Expecting From You:
- Active TS/SCI with Poly clearance; U.S. citizenship
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field (4 years of experience may substitute)
- 2–5 years of experience as a DevOps or Software Engineer
- Fluency with AI-native IDEs
- Strong version control habits
- Practical depth in hybrid deployment (on-prem and cloud), including air-gapped deployment, containers, Linux, and CI/CD
- Experience with layered systems and how apps get deployed — language secondary; scripting/automation often in Python or TypeScript, using tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores
- Familiarity with deploying/operating apps in the TypeScript/Python/React ecosystem
- Understands how to deploy and operate identity/RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability in production systems
- Implements pipelines and promotion paths; debugs and remediates with tools and automation
- Understands how to automate complex processes with deterministic and non-deterministic tools
- Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and/or Packer
Nice to Have:
- Systems administration background or SSP accreditation experience
- Infrastructure as Code experience at production scale
- Production observability stack experience
- Experience supporting RMF/ATO (hardening baselines, control evidence, vulnerability remediation)
- Experience with physical security or facility accreditation practices, such as ICD 705 or similar frameworks
- Familiarity with tools used by security and compliance teams
