About the role
- We operate on AWS GovCloud in an environment purpose-built for ITAR and CUI compliance, which means the infrastructure decisions you make carry real regulatory weight.
Responsibilities
- We're starting fresh - reimagining how software supports operations at the cutting edge of the defense tech revolution.
- You'll own the reliability, performance, and security of our infrastructure while working closely with product engineers to ship features faster.
- deploy workloads, tune Karpenter node autoscaling, maintain Helm charts, and keep clusters healthy.
- Support and extend Temporal-based workflow orchestration for background processing.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS services in production (EKS, IAM, Secrets Manager, ECR, RDS).
- Strong Kubernetes expertise: you've operated clusters, debugged networking issues, managed Helm charts, and tuned workloads.
- Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript with a genuine interest in writing application code alongside infrastructure work.
- Experience with GitOps workflows: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and Helm-based deployments.
- Comfort with Linux systems administration and shell scripting.
- Familiarity with compliance-driven infrastructure: audit logging, access controls, and evidence collection for frameworks like CMMC, FedRAMP, and SOC 2.
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS services in production (EKS, IAM, Secrets Manager, ECR, RDS). Experience with or strong working knowledge of AWS GovCloud is a significant plus.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, TLS, Kubernetes Gateway API).
- A collaborative, low-ego mindset: you thrive in small, fast-moving teams.
Nice to have
- Experience with Envoy Gateway or the Kubernetes Gateway API.
- Background in PostgreSQL administration and schema-based multi-tenancy.
- Familiarity with the Grafana observability stack (Loki, Tempo, Prometheus).
- Experience with Karpenter for node autoscaling or cost optimization strategies for cloud spend.
- Experience with Temporal for workflow orchestration.
- Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you wore many hats.
- How We Work We value autonomy, urgency, and ownership.
- Everyone at Ironflow moves fast, solves real problems, and holds a high bar for craft.
