Build the Infrastructure That Makes AI Mission-Ready

As a Platform Engineer, you will design and operate the infrastructure that enables AI/ML systems to function in real-world mission environments supporting classified, mission-critical programs.

You won't just build platforms: you'll bridge the gap between AI development and operational deployment, ensuring systems scale, integrate, and perform under real constraints.

What You'll Do

• Architect and operate Kubernetes-based platforms supporting AI/ML workloads
• Build and manage containerized environments (Docker, Helm, OCI) for scalable deployment
• Design and optimize data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and model lifecycle support
• Integrate AI/ML services into secure, mission-critical systems
• Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) for repeatable, compliant environments
• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
• Implement observability and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure system health and performance
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate complex requirements into deployable systems
• Solve engineering challenges within classified and constrained environments

What You Bring

• Strong experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native platform engineering
• Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Helm)
• Experience supporting data pipelines or ML-enabled systems
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
• Experience with CI/CD and DevSecOps practices
• Understanding of distributed systems and system integration
• Ability to operate effectively in secure or regulated environments

Clearance Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance strongly preferred
• Candidates with an active Secret clearance may be c...
