About the role

About the Role

Join a small, customer-facing engineering team deploying data and analytics software in tactical edge environments. You will build and support systems on compact, on-prem hardware where resource constraints, limited connectivity, and demanding operational conditions make reliability essential.

What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end delivery of high-stakes customer projects, working with minimal supervision.
  • Work directly with customers to design and deploy containerized software in air-gapped, on-premises, and edge environments.
  • Troubleshoot network and systems issues, review monitoring and alerts, manage configurations and load balancing, and support container orchestration and upgrades.
  • Provide operational support to help resolve issues quickly and minimize disruption to customer operations.
  • Discuss technical architecture with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Travel to customer locations approximately 25% of the time.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to five years of software engineering experience, including hands-on integration with physical hardware or edge systems.
  • A computer science degree and strong software engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience deploying and managing containerized applications with Kubernetes.
  • Deep Linux systems experience, including administration, networking, and on-premises infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in one or more of Python, Java, Bash, Go, or JavaScript.
  • Experience in defense, government, systems integration, or related customer environments; familiarity with data and analytics platforms is a plus.
  • An active US Secret or Top Secret security clearance and authorization to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
