Job DetailsDescriptionCloud Infrastructure EngineerAre you looking for the ideal hands-on opportunity? Here, you'll have real ownership, not just tickets.
In your role as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, implement, and operate the Kubernetes-based cloud-native platform-so you can see your decisions directly improve scalability, availability, and security.
Position Summary:Delta Defense is seeking a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with strong expertise in Kubernetes and modern CI/CD practices. Join our infrastructure team in a role where you will design, implement, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud-native platforms that support multiple engineering teams.
In this role, you'll help manage the full lifecycle of containerized applications-from image build and deployment through observability, performance validation, and reliability improvements-while helping strengthen a resilient, well-governed multi-tenant platform environment.
Why your work in this role matters:- You'll help ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our core platforms.
- You'll influence how infrastructure is built and operated as the organization grows.
- You'll work across teams to enable faster, safer software delivery.
- You'll have opportunities to improve systems, processes, and tooling-not just maintain them.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:- Design, deploy, and manage production Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, resource quotas, network policies, ingress/egress controls, and RBAC.
- Develop and maintain declarative deployment patterns using Helm, Kustomize, and Kubernetes operators.
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps principles, including version-controlled changes, automated validation, and rollback strategies.
- Provision and manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane, applying best practices for immutability, idempotency, and state management.
- Build secure, efficient container images using multi-stage builds and vulnerability scanning; manage image versioning and promotion across environments.
- Implement observability solutions using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; support service level indicators (SLIs), service level objectives (SLOs), and actionable alerting strategies.
- Conduct load testing and resilience validation to support performance tuning, failure analysis, and capacity planning.
- Perform Linux system administration, including system hardening, troubleshooting, and OS-level performance tuning.
- Support stateful workloads (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, Redis, Kafka), including backup and restore considerations and performance implications.
- Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and continuous reliability improvements.
- Document architecture, operational procedures, backup and recovery processes, and infrastructure lifecycle plans.
Skills/Abilities and Education Requirements: - Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
- A high school diploma or equivalent is required.
- 2-5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles.
- Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters in production, including secure multi-tenant configurations.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and working with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
- Strong containerization experience, including image optimization and security practices.
- Solid Linux administration skills and systems troubleshooting experience.
- Proficiency in Python or similar scripting language for infrastructure automation.
- Working knowledge of networking, Kubernetes security, and deployment strategies (rolling, blue-green, or canary).
- Practical experience with load testing and performance analysis.
- Demonstrates the Core Values of Delta Defense, LLC.
