Quevera is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who's ready to take on a mission-critical role in shaping cloud infrastructure and automation strategies in one of the most secure environments in the country. This is more than a job — it's a chance to lead the transformation of cloud-native operations for national security.
You'll be embedded with a high-performing engineering team, working hands-on with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and a full modern Dev Ops toolchain to design scalable, secure platforms that deliver continuous impact.
REQUIRED - MUST have a current TS/SCI Polygraph clearance to apply for role. Only those with a current TS/SCI with Poly clearance will be considered.
What You'll Do:- Architect and implement highly available, automated cloud environments using AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes.
- Drive infrastructure-as-code best practices, enabling consistent, repeatable deployments across all environments.
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins, Git Hub Actions, and Ansible.
- Spearhead containerization and orchestration strategies with Docker and EKS.
- Collaborate in Agile teams, delivering solutions aligned to evolving mission goals.
- Lead with a problem-solver's mindset, mentoring others and setting technical direction.
- 7+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, Dev Ops, or SRE roles.
- Deep hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes, AWS (VPC, EC2, S3, EKS/ECS), and Terraform.
- Skilled in scripting (Python, Bash, Ruby) and automation workflows.
- Experienced with infrastructure as code using Terraform or Cloud Formation.
- Solid grasp of CI/CD practices and tools (Jenkins, Git Hub Actions).
- Comfortable in Linux environments, with strong networking and security fundamentals.
- Must hold CWIP IAT Level I certification.
- Minimum Education:
A BS in Computer Science, or related discipline, or equivalent years of experience.
Why You Should Apply:
Mission impact – Build infrastructure that directly supports national security.
Cutting-edge tech stack – You won't just use tools — you'll help shape how they're used.
Leadership role – Be the go-to expert. Influence architecture, mentor teammates, and set the bar high.
High-trust environment – Work onsite with a tight-knit team where every contribution matters.
Career growth – Step into a senior-level role with opportunities to grow into lead or principal positions.
This role requires an active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph. If you thrive in complex technical environments and want to make a real-world impact, we want to hear from you. Apply today and engineer the future with Quevera.
