Overview

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors-helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

Who We Are

We're not here to maintain the status quo - we're here to rewrite it and innovate at the pace of need. Our team is laser-focused on creating cutting-edge RFID solutions for the DoD that bring passive and active RFID tech to life, solving tough integration challenges across global sites. We're a no-bench, get-after-it kind of company where initiative is rewarded, and innovation is our default setting. If you're ready to dive in, take ownership, and ship real value, keep reading.

Responsibilities

The Opportunity
We're looking for a Platform Engineer to help us build and support the core infrastructure that powers our Navy logistics and asset visibility platform. You'll help design, deploy, and maintain a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment that runs containerized apps across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You'll work closely with developers, DevSecOps engineers, and Navy users to ensure stability, security, and speed.

This is a remote-first role with limited travel. Prior Navy or DoD software delivery experience is a huge plus.

What You'll Do
  • Design, deploy, and manage the infrastructure behind our apps-across AWS GovCloud, edge, and Navy networks.
  • Automate deployments and environment provisioning using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Gitlab, and AWS CodePipeline.
  • Stand up and secure Kubernetes clusters (Rancher, Helm) and support containerized apps in production.
  • Monitor performance and troubleshoot issues using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, or ELK.
  • Work across environments and stacks to ensure apps are secure, scalable, and resilient.
  • Help write and maintain scripts or lightweight apps to support system automation and integration.
  • Support ATO and cybersecurity requirements, including ICAM integration and container-level hardening.
  • Contribute to a team that ships secure, production-grade capabilities to the mission at speed.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For
  • Active Secret clearance or higher (required).
  • 5+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or DevSecOps engineering roles.
  • Experience deploying and managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.
  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience (CKAD or CKA preferred).
  • Experience managing hybrid cloud environments, especially AWS GovCloud.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab, Bitbucket, AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar.
  • Solid Linux skills and comfort with command-line troubleshooting and networking.
  • Knowledge of secure identity and access management (ICAM) and protocols (SAML, OAuth2, OIDC).
  • Proficiency in at least one language (C#, Python, or similar).
  • Experience operating in or delivering to federal or DoD environments.
  • Comfortable working in Agile teams with rapid delivery cycles.

Bonus Points For:
  • Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Prior experience with U.S. Navy programs, software systems, or command and control platforms.
  • Experience securing or operating IL5+ environments.
  • AWS certification (Solutions Architect or Developer Associate).
  • Experience supporting ATO packages and FedRAMP requirements.
  • Familiarity with DoD software development and deployment environments.

Target salary range: $150,000 - 210,000.00. Final compensation will be determined by a variety of factors including but not limited to your skills, experience, education, and/or certifications.
