Infrastructure Engineer

The Role

You are responsible for the infrastructure that keeps Wraithwatch running in production across our federal and commercial deployments.

You will build and maintain the CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, monitoring, and operational tooling that let a small team ship software reliably across all of these environments without things falling apart. When something breaks at 2am in a production federal environment, you're the person who gets it back up. When we need to roll a release across 20 deployments in a week, you're the person who makes that possible without manual SSH sessions into each one.

This is not a role where you're managing infrastructure for a single product in a single cloud account. You're building the deployment and operations backbone for a company that is scaling fast across highly constrained federal and Fortune 500 environments, and every shortcut you skip today becomes a fire you fight next month.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain deployment automation and CI/CD pipelines that reliably ship software across 20+ federal environments in parallel.
• Own the operational health of all production deployments - monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-mortems.
• Design infrastructure that accounts for the reality of federal environments: air-gapped networks, strict compliance requirements, variable network topologies, and limited access windows.
• Build tooling that gives the engineering team visibility into the state of every deployment without requiring manual inspection.
• Automate everything that can be automated. We cannot scale to hundreds of environments with manual processes.
• Work with the product engineering team to ensure new features are deployable across all environments without environment-specific hacks.
• Manage and improve cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and on-prem deployments depending on customer requirements.
• Participate in on-call rotations for production environments.

Qualifications

Basic

• 4+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering
• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) and configuration management (Ansible, Salt, or similar)
• Deep Linux systems knowledge - you should be comfortable debugging at the OS level, not just the application level
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for complex multi-environment deployments
• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
• Comfortable working in highly constrained or regulated environments where you can't just spin up whatever you want
• Willingness to work extended hours when production issues demand it - we are a seed-stage startup with federal customers who do not tolerate downtime

Preferred

• Experience deploying software into federal, DoD, or IC environments
• Familiarity with FedRAMP, STIG compliance, or ATO processes
• Experience with air-gapped or disconnected network deployments
• Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance
• Experience operating infrastructure at scale across many isolated environments simultaneously
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or similar)
