- Familiarity with AWS
- Scripting skills in Python or Shell, and comfort with Git
- Experience with Linux (RHEL/RHCOS, CentOS)
- CI/CD experience using GitLab CI or Jenkins
- Knowledge of container technologies — Docker, Kubernetes, and the broader CNCF ecosystem
- Work on meaningful, high-impact missions that matter at a national level
- Join a team that values autonomy and trust — you'll own your work
- Grow your skills in a modern cloud-native environment
- Be part of an Agile team that moves fast and collaborates openly
