This opportunity puts you at the center of national security technology, where your work directly safeguards critical infrastructure. You’ll join a small, agile delivery team that values practical innovation and fast feedback loops, with the freedom to shape how secure products are built and deployed. Every day, you’ll see the tangible impact of your engineering decisions in a high-trust, mission-driven culture.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will design, build, and support secure and scalable systems that underpin vital operations. You’ll create automated CI/CD pipelines, manage shared platform services, and deploy infrastructure in AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments.

We’re looking for a DV‑cleared engineer who brings a proactive, can‑do attitude and a track record of delivering secure products with modern technology. You are comfortable with AWS or Azure, have built scalable shared solutions, and thrive in agile settings using Scrum or Kanban.

In return, you’ll enjoy flexitime, a learning budget, private healthcare, a matched pension, and regular team socials—all within a supportive environment that values your growth.
