AWS Dev Ops / Agentic SRE Engineer TS/SCI
Clearance: Active TS/SCI
Certification: Active Security+ or equivalent required
Experience: 3+ years of SRE, Dev Ops, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering experience
We are seeking an SRE / Dev Ops & Release Engineer to own the deployment, reliability, observability, and operation of secure AWS environments supporting an advanced Agentic AI platform.
This is a hands-on engineering position combining Dev Ops, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, and release automation. The engineer will own the path from local development through production deployment into AWS Kubernetes environments, as well as the operational health and reliability of those environments.
The platform is currently operating within IATT environments and progressing toward scale and ATO. At the current team size, build/release and production operations are intentionally combined the engineer responsible for deploying the platform also has responsibility for ensuring that it operates reliably.
The environment includes AWS EKS, CDK, Kubernetes, Helm, Flux Git Ops, container registries, Envoy Gateway, distributed tracing, and modern observability technologies.
Key Responsibilities- Design, build, maintain, and operate highly available AWS infrastructure supporting an Agentic AI platform.
- Own the software delivery lifecycle from local development through build, test, packaging, promotion, and deployment into AWS environments.
- Deploy and operate Kubernetes workloads in production AWS EKS environments.
- Author, maintain, and troubleshoot Helm charts supporting platform applications and services.
- Build and maintain Git Ops-based continuous delivery utilizing Flux, Helm, and container registries.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK and Type Script.
- Build and manage AWS infrastructure utilizing EKS, RDS, S3, IAM/IRSA, ECR, and related AWS services.
- Build and maintain container-image and Helm-chart promotion processes.
- Configure and support Envoy Gateway routing, certificates, and TLS.

- Establish cross-service tracing to provide end-to-end visibility into distributed application and agent workflows.
- Monitor cluster, application, and service health and proactively identify reliability issues.
- Diagnose failed or stuck Helm and Flux reconciliations, configuration drift, pod failures, and deployment issues.
- Lead production incident investigation and root-cause analysis using Kubernetes state, logs, metrics, and distributed traces.
- Develop preflight validation, diagnostic, QA, and operational tooling.
- Automate infrastructure and operational processes using Python and other scripting technologies.
- Support credential, certificate, and secrets rotation.
- Partner with software engineers and AI/ML teams to deploy and operate agentic applications, model-serving infrastructure, and supporting services.
- Support platform security, compliance, IATT, and ATO activities.
- Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate engineering while independently validating generated code and configuration before deployment.
- Drive an engineering approach based on measurable evidence, automated testing, telemetry, and verification.
- Current and active TS/SCI security clearance
- Current Security+ certification or equivalent certification supporting privileged-user access.
- 3+ years of professional experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Dev Ops, Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.
- Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production environments.
- Experience authoring and maintaining Helm charts.
- Experience implementing Git Ops-based continuous delivery using Flux, Argo CD, or equivalent technologies.
- Hands-on AWS experience with services such as EKS, RDS, S3, IAM/IRSA, and ECR.
- Experience developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code.
- Experience working with Type Script/AWS CDK or demonstrated ability to work within a Type Script-based IaC environment.
- Experience implementing and utilizing production observability and distributed-tracing technologies such as Open Telemetry, Grafana, and Tempo.
