About the Role

Join a public safety technology team building and operating the cloud infrastructure and data platform behind large-scale search systems. You will own reliable distributed systems end to end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and on-call operations.

What You'll Do

  • Design and operate data infrastructure for petabyte-scale ingestion into object storage and indexing in databases and vector stores.

  • Shape storage and retrieval architecture, balancing hot and cold storage, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging and streaming systems.

  • Run and scale containerized services across orchestration platforms using declarative configuration and GitOps workflows.

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and tools that support safe, frequent software delivery.

  • Help maintain secure, auditable, reliable environments that meet federal or other regulated requirements.

  • Debug and tune systems across application code, storage, and networking, and mentor engineers through reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.

What We're Looking For

  • 5 or more years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record building and maintaining production systems.

  • Hands-on experience with AWS production workloads, distributed systems, and large-scale data storage and retrieval.

  • Experience building production data pipelines and owning services through deployment and on-call operations.

  • A DevOps foundation that includes CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments.

  • Experience running containerized workloads with tools such as Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with Terraform and GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Helm.

  • Relevant technologies may include Python, Go, PostgreSQL, vector databases, object storage, Kafka, and distributed SQL databases.

  • Experience in federal or regulated environments, such as FedRAMP, is valuable.

  • Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
