Site Reliability Engineer - TS/SCI FSP at Cyrad Solutions in Chantilly, Virginia, United States

Job description

• This role places an experienced infrastructure engineer on mission-critical systems supporting some of the most sensitive technical environments in the U.S. government. It is a hands-on position spanning Kubernetes, Linux, cloud infrastructure, networking, security, and automation, in a setting where reliability and performance failures carry real operational consequences.
• The role is not scoped as a narrow SRE function. The position carries ownership of critical systems from architecture through day-to-day operation, with the expectation that the engineer works across the full stack rather than within a single infrastructure specialty. Automation, tooling, and scalable design are core parts of the work, not adjacent tasks.
• Candidates who bring depth across several infrastructure domains and want to apply that depth in environments very few engineers ever access will find the role a strong fit.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate highly reliable, scalable infrastructure supporting mission-critical workloads
• Own complex systems end-to-end, from architecture decisions through production operation
• Build tooling and automation across infrastructure and production environments
• Work hands-on across Kubernetes, Linux, cloud platforms, networking, and security
• Solve difficult reliability and performance problems without being confined to a narrow infrastructure lane
• Maintain a security-first posture in an environment where security and reliability are tightly coupled

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph (required; no exceptions)
• Ability to work Corp-to-Corp (required)
• 5+ years of SRE, systems engineering, infrastructure, or closely related experience
• Deep experience with Kubernetes and Linux
• Experience with AWS, GCP, and/or Azure
• Strong Python, scripting, and infrastructure automation skills
• Strong networking and security fundamentals
• Demonstrated ability to independently own complex technical systems
• Experience operating infrastructure in classified or otherwise high-security environments
• Breadth across multiple cloud providers rather than a single platform
