Cloud Developer (AWS / Infrastructure as Code) with Security Clearance

Build the automation that enterprise developers depend on. Linchpin Software is growing, and we're looking for a Cloud Developer to join a team of AWS services engineers building an automated, self-service platform for enterprise developer services. You'll turn manual, ticket-driven work into code: repeatable infrastructure, clean pipelines, and services that just work for the developers who rely on them. We build software differently. Our engineers use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, GitLab Duo) every day to move faster and ship higher-quality work. If you want to sharpen that skill on a real mission system, this is the place.

What You'll Do

• Design and build AWS infrastructure entirely as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK)
• Automate provisioning, onboarding, and developer workflows end to end
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines that deliver changes safely and quickly
• Troubleshoot production issues and resolve user-facing problems with the team
• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and documentation Required:
• Active Top Secret clearance
• 5+ years of software, cloud, or DevOps engineering experience
• Hands-on experience with AWS
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or similar)
• Ability to work full-time, on-site in Washington, DC (20024) Preferred:
• Experience supporting production systems and resolving user-facing issues
• Scripting in Python, Bash, or similar
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or GitLab CI
• Curiosity about AI-assisted development What You'll Gain:
• A platform you build from the ground up, not just maintain
• Daily hands-on work with AWS and modern automation
• Real experience using AI to multiply your engineering output
• A collaborative team on a stable, long-term mission program Compensation: $120,000 – $150,000, plus competitive benefits.
