About the Role

We're hiring a Reliability Engineer to ensure the reliability, scalability, and operational health of a large-scale federal data and analytics platform running on Microsoft Azure. This is a hands-on, Terraform-first role: you'll independently design, build, review, and troubleshoot Infrastructure-as-Code for mission-critical environments, and you'll work side by side with platform engineers, developers, security teams, and product stakeholders to automate cloud infrastructure, strengthen Kubernetes operations, and keep critical data and analytics services available.

If you enjoy owning production infrastructure end to end — writing the modules, managing the state, and being the person who can actually troubleshoot what breaks — this role is built for you.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, maintain, and troubleshoot production Azure infrastructure using Terraform
• Support the reliability, performance, and availability of workloads running in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
• Troubleshoot cloud infrastructure, networking, Kubernetes, and application reliability issues
• Automate cloud operations to reduce manual effort and improve consistency
• Partner with development and operations teams to improve deployment and incident-response practices
• Build and refine monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and operational reporting
• Identify reliability risks and recommend improvements to cloud architecture and processes
• Document infrastructure, procedures, troubleshooting guidance, and operational runbooks

What You Bring (Required)

* 4+ years in cloud infrastructure, systems engineering,
