Cloud Platform Engineer-Customer Delivery

, REMOTE

Job ID: 5308

We are hiring Cloud Platform Engineers to deliver Kubernetes-based platform solutions across commercial and government environments.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role operating in a professional services model. You will architect, build, harden, and deploy production-ready Kubernetes platforms using Spectro Cloud across SaaS, on-prem, and fully air-gapped environments.

Engagements range from short accelerators to multi-month implementations. Once delivery and knowledge transfer are complete, you move to the next challenge. This is not a long-term operations role.

Openings include:

• TS/SCI
• TS
• Commercial (no clearance required)

 

What You’ll Do

• Architect and deploy Kubernetes platforms using Spectro Cloud in:
• VMware vSphere
• Bare metal
• AWS, Azure, GCP
• Restricted / air-gapped networks
• Build and configure clusters from scratch, including control plane, networking, storage, and ingress.
• Integrate CI/CD pipelines and container supply chains (build, scan, push, deploy).
• Containerize and modernize customer workloads using Helm, OCI registries, and Git-based workflows.
• Troubleshoot real-world distributed system issues across:
• CNI and DNS
• Load balancers and ingress
• TLS/certificates
• Persistent storage and CSI drivers
• Support both connected SaaS-style deployments and fully offline artifact mirroring environments.
• Produce clear architecture diagrams, runbooks, and structured knowledge transfer for customer independence.

 

Required Skills

• Control plane components
• Networking (CNI, DNS, ingress, load balancers)
• RBAC and security boundaries
• Persistent storage (PV/PVC, CSI)
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (EKS/AKS/GKE).
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with Docker/OCI images and private registries.
• Experience working in restricted or air-gapped environments.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to operate independently in customer-facing scenarios.

 

Preferred

• Experience with cluster lifecycle platforms (Spectro Cloud, Rancher, OpenShift, Tanzu).
• Helm chart authoring and Kubernetes operator familiarity (CRDs/CRs).
• Experience with artifact mirroring, offline deployments, and secure supply chains.
• Exposure to STIG hardening, vulnerability management, and compliance-driven environments.
• CKA, CKAD, or cloud provider certifications.

 

 

required Experience

• 3–6 years in cloud, DevOps, or platform engineering.
• Proven experience building and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters (not only consuming managed services).

What Success Looks Like

• Secure, production-grade clusters delivered on time.
• Customers fully enabled to operate and extend their platform.
• Clear documentation and repeatable architecture patterns.
• High technical credibility in front of senior customer engineers.

• Travel may be required depending on customer engagement and clearance requirements.
