As a Staff Software Engineer in Data Platform Engineering, you will design, build, and operate cloud-native platform components and services, taking features from design through production. You'll lead well-scoped technical projects, collaborate with senior engineers on architecture alignment, and ensure reliability and scalability through testing and instrumentation. You'll spend most of your time hands-on building operators, controllers, automation, and platform services that other teams depend on, while mentoring junior engineers. The role requires 8+ years of software development experience (or equivalent with advanced degrees), 5+ years of hands-on Kubernetes experience, and proficiency with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP).

SAIC seeks a Cloud DevOps Engineer to design, build, and operate mission-critical cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes/OpenShift platforms in support of Naval Operational Architecture.
