  • Experience in FedRAMP, DoD, or defense logistics environments
  • Familiarity with containerized workloads (AKS, Azure Container Apps, Docker)
  • Experience leading or supporting program operations in a government context
  • PMP is a plus

    • Work Schedule

  • Standard business hours with 24×7 first responder availability.

    • Who You Are

  • You?re a mission-driven technologist who finds purpose in building reliable, secure systems that matter.
  • You thrive in cloud environments under compliance, love automation, and communicate with calm confidence when things go sideways.
  • You balance deep technical mastery with the humility and composure needed to support government operations and defend uptime for critical DoD systems.
  • You are willing to roll up your sleeves and do what's needed to create successful outcomes.

    • Our Mission & Values
