Senior DevOps Engineer (Active Secret Clearance)

Since 2018, we have delivered the most trusted AI systems operating in real-world use cases—providing a layer of assurance underneath hundreds of deployed models that monitors performance, manages drift, and sustains systems long after they leave the lab. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are where the platform meets the mission. Our systems stay online and reliable in the field because of what you build, automate, and maintain. You will interface directly with customers and work across teams. You’ll define what needs to be built, deploy it, and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy the challenge of debugging complex Kubernetes clusters where connectivity is a luxury, not a given. You are someone who can navigate the unique constraints of local hardware today and write the automation that ensures seamless, reliable performance across the customer’s hybrid stack tomorrow.
