Job Description

Ready Support Services is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our team in McLean, VA. Some key requirements below:

  • Experience with Kubernetes or derivative. Our platform is OpenShift Platform Plus so OpenShift experience is preferred and would be seen as a significant plus. • DevOps background. Ansible or other automation language, git, python
  • Some development background/experience. We do not expect that you have been a software engineer, but you should be a proficient programmer
  • Experience with RHEL
  • Strong understanding of networking o We aren’t looking for a network engineer, but we will expect that we could, for example, ask the platform engineer to look at the OVN-Kubernetes topology and, with some study and access to a live system, understand the network flow
  • Technical architecture
  • Experience building out datacenter architectures. You do not need to have been the lead, but you should understand things such as out of band management networks, management interfaces, patch cycles, etc.
  • Ability to independently self-educate. This project spans a huge swath of technologies, and no one is expected to come into the project knowing everything. Successful candidates will be expected that armed with the internet you can independently identify those things you do not know, teach yourself, and come back with answers.
  • Current TS/SCI
Preferred Experience
  • CI polygraph
  • Background/familiarity with Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be seen as a huge plus. The project is deploying OpenShift AI so experience with it would be ideal.
  • Familiarity/experience with Dell PowerScale
  • Math/compsci background
  • Experience with Keycloak
  • Experience with Active directory
  • Experience with Container repositories. Ideally, hands on with Quay as that is what this project is using.
  • Experience building PKI infrastructure
  • Experience with software defined networking
  • Experience implementing NIST/STIGs
  • Experience with MinIO
  • Experience with Ceph (or other software defined storage) Travel: Be open and willing to travel to PA. This is a new program so need to travel to get the system up and running. Once that’s done, travel will be on rotation and not as often.
