• Active Top Secret clearance (SCI Eligible).
• Ability to work hybrid (a few days per month onsite) in Charlottesville, VA or Arlington, VA.

Good to Have

• Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Service Mesh (Istio, Linkerd), or microservices architecture.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• AWS or Azure certifications (or ability to obtain within 30 days).

Perks & Benefits

• Impact & Influence: Shape how multi-cloud and DevSecOps frameworks are deployed across critical systems.
• Autonomy & Growth: Work with cutting-edge technologies and influence architectural direction.
• Professional Development: Paid certifications, training, and technical upskilling opportunities.
• Comprehensive Benefits: 401(k) (100% match up to 6%), PTO, medical/dental/vision, life insurance.
