Responsibilities

Own the FedRAMP Build: Deploy, manage, and maintain our application within the Palantir FedStart ecosystem (a secure Kubernetes PaaS). You will master the Apollo deployment platform to manage releases across these isolated environments

Migrate the Legacy: Support the existing GSA on-premise deployment to ensure stability, while actively engineering its replacement. You will be the one to flip the switch and retire the legacy hardware

Manage Critical Data Infrastructure: You won’t just manage stateless apps. You will manage the orchestration and pipelines for stateful services on Kubernetes. Familiarity with Kafka, PostgreSQL, and other stateful services is a plus

Hardening with Purpose: Implement 'security as code.' You will handle container hardening, vulnerability remediation, and ensure our stack remains compliant—not because a clipboard auditor said so, but because we believe in secure engineering

Solve the Hard Problems: Working in a secure environment means you can't always just 'Google it' or open a support tunnel. You need to be a deep troubleshooter capable of diagnosing network, kernel, and application issues independently

Qualification

Required

Deep Kubernetes & Helm Experience: You are comfortable building complex Helm charts from scratch and managing K8s clusters in production

Stateful Services Expertise: You have experience running databases and message queues (Kafka, Postgres, etc.) inside containers and understand the nuances of persistence, backups, and high availability

The 'Doer' Mindset: You enjoy a startup environment where you can move fast, make architectural decisions, and see immediate results

Security Intuition: You have worked in regulated environments (FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2) and understand the why behind the rules. You understand concepts like FIPS and container hardening, even if you haven't implemented them from scratch

Observability: Experience designing full-stack monitoring (metrics, logs, traces) to give us visibility into isolated environments

Tech Agility: We are a diverse shop. Whether it's picking up a new CI/CD tool, learning a new database, or scripting in Go/Python/Bash, you learn fast and adapt
