We are looking for a senior Azure Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) / DevSecOps Engineer to build, secure, operate, and continuously improve mission-critical infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and Azure Government.

This role is ideal for an experienced cloud/platform engineer who combines SRE, DevOps, DevSecOps, infrastructure automation, observability, networking, Kubernetes, and cloud security—particularly in federal or highly regulated environments.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain observability with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Datadog, or similar tools.
• Define and monitor SLIs, SLOs, availability, MTTR, change failure rate, and DORA metrics.
• Build and maintain secure Azure DevOps / GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
• Provision Azure infrastructure using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM.
• Automate infrastructure and operations using PowerShell, Bash, Python, and/or Ansible.
• Operate production workloads across Azure and Azure Government.
• Design and manage Azure networking: VNets, subnets, NSGs, routing, Azure Firewall, Private Endpoints, and Private DNS.
• Implement security baselines and support STIG/STIG-aligned Windows, Linux, and container environments.
• Support FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53, DISA STIG, and related compliance requirements.
• Manage Microsoft Defender for Cloud, CSPM findings, vulnerability remediation, and security monitoring.
• Manage Windows/Linux patching and configuration management.
• Deploy and operate Docker, Kubernetes, and AKS workloads.
• Integrate SAST, DAST, container scanning, vulnerability scanning, and secret detection into CI/CD.
• Troubleshoot complex production infrastructure, networking, application, and security issues.
• Lead root-cause analysis and drive long-term corrective actions.

What we're looking for

• 8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, DevSecOps, Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, or Systems Engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure.
• Strong understanding of both DevOps and cloud security/DevSecOps.
• Hands-on Terraform / Infrastructure as Code experience.
• Strong PowerShell and/or Bash/Shell scripting.
• Experience building and managing Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with Azure observability tools such as Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, or Datadog.
• Strong Azure networking knowledge, including NSGs, routing, Private Endpoints, DNS, and Azure Firewall.
• Experience with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and CSPM.
• Experience with Windows/Linux patching and configuration management.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and AKS.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel and KQL.
• Strong production troubleshooting and incident/root-cause analysis skills.

Federal / Security Requirements

• U.S. Citizenship is mandatory.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Federal, DoD, FedRAMP, or other highly regulated environment experience is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of one or more of FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53, and DISA STIGs.
• Ability to translate security and compliance requirements into practical technical controls.

Nice to have

• Azure Government experience.
• STIG-compliant Windows and RHEL/Linux administration.
• Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) / FSLogix.
• Azure Update Manager and Ansible.
• Azure Policy, Guest Configuration, and policy-as-code.
• Microsoft Sentinel and KQL.
• Zero Trust and hub-and-spoke Azure architecture.
• High availability and disaster recovery architecture.
• Azure certifications such as AZ-104, AZ-500, AZ-305, or SC-100.

- Full-time B2B / Independent Contractor

We’re building a new product team and looking for the first key engineer to join the project.

This is not a role where you’ll simply contribute to an existing codebase. You’ll have real ownership over architecture, technical decisions, engineering standards, and the foundation of the product from day one.

The project is in the MilTech space, involving UAVs and telemetry systems.

What you’ll do

• Build a C++ system from scratch, from architecture to production
• Design scalable and maintainable software
• Work with multithreading, concurrency, performance, and memory management
• Make key technical and architectural decisions
• Help establish engineering processes, standards, and best practices
• Eventually contribute to building and shaping the engineering team

Requirements

• Strong Modern C++ (C++17/20) experience
• Solid understanding of:
  • Systems programming
  • Memory management, RAII, smart pointers
  • Multithreading and concurrency
• Strong STL knowledge: containers, algorithms, iterators
• Understanding of algorithmic complexity (O(1), O(log n), etc.)
• Strong OOP knowledge and SOLID principles
• Experience with architectural/design patterns
• Git, CMake, GCC/Clang
• Experience with linters and static code analysis
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of technical outcomes

Nice to have

You don't need experience with all of these. A strong C++ foundation and willingness to learn are more important.

• Networking: TCP/UDP, sockets, asynchronous I/O
• MAVLink: telemetry and command communication with UAVs/robotics
• GStreamer: video-stream processing, H.264/H.265 encoding/decoding, low-latency pipelines

Who we're looking for

Strong Middle or Senior engineer.

We're looking for someone who can operate independently, make technical decisions, and eventually help shape the engineering team.

❌ Not a fit: candidates with only superficial knowledge of C++, multithreading, or networking. We need hands-on engineering experience, not just exposure to these technologies.

What we offer

• Competitive market compensation
• Fully remote
• Official employment with mobilization reservation for eligible candidates in Ukraine, or cooperation via FOP
• Paid AI tools for development
• High level of technical ownership
• Opportunity to build a product and engineering team from the ground up
