Job Description

Pinnacle Government Solutions is a minority-owned small business that provides Software, AI/ML, and Cloud Engineering Solutions for our Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Federal Civilian agencies. We bring SME-level expertise and over five decades of combined industry knowledge and Talent Acquisition experience. We believe in getting it right for our customers and our country.

We are looking for an Infrastructure Engineer who will be responsible for architecting and maintaining scalable, resilient systems that support high-volume data alerting within a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will leverage your expertise in Kubernetes to orchestrate containerized workloads, ensuring seamless deployment and management of applications. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include optimizing cloud infrastructure on AWS, utilizing services such as EKS, EC2, and S3, and implementing infrastructure as code with Terraform to automate provisioning and configuration.

You will also be tasked with designing robust routing and DNS solutions to guarantee high availability and performance across distributed systems. Success in this position will be driven by your hands-on experience with messaging platforms like RabbitMQ and Kafka, which are essential for handling large-scale data streams and ensuring reliable communication between services. You will benefit from familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, as well as logging and alerting frameworks that enable proactive incident response.

Exposure to DevOps methodologies will be crucial, as you will collaborate closely with development teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines and enhance operational efficiency. Your ability to troubleshoot complex issues and implement best practices in cloud security and automation will set you apart in this challenging and rewarding role.
