Cloud Infrastructure & Amp; DevOps Engineer

�� Remote (U.S. only) | Contract-to-Hire Other Requirements: U.S. Citizens or Green Card holders only. About Us Quantum Network (through SecureCo) builds secure, distributed systems for government and enterprise customers where privacy, security, and resiliency are mission-critical. As a government contractor, we work on problems that matter: protecting national security, safeguarding sensitive data, and enabling next-generation secure networking. Our engineers get the best of both worlds—the agility of a startup and the stability of government-backed contracts—while tackling cutting-edge challenges in cloud, DevOps, and distributed systems. The Role We’re looking for a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer to join on a contract- to-hire basis. This is an individual contributor role: you’ll design, automate, and operate cloud systems directly. If you’ve been the “go-to DevOps person” in a startup or the first engineer to build infrastructure from scratch, you’ll thrive here. The ideal candidate has strong multi-cloud expertise (AWS, GCP, and Azure) and can deliver cloud-agnostic solutions. You’ll be solving problems that keep real-world systems resilient and secure. What You’ll Do • Architect and implement secure, scalable multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, and Azure). • Build and own CI/CD pipelines that accelerate engineering while keeping systems safe and reliable. • Deploy and manage Kubernetes/ECS/AKS/GKE clusters and containerized services. • Implement observability (monitoring, logging, alerting) to keep systems resilient and debuggable. • Solve problems end-to-end: from Terraform scripts to incident response. • Partner closely with developers and product teams to deliver infrastructure that matches business needs. What We’re Looking For • 5+ years of experience in DevOps/SRE/Cloud Engineering. • Hands-on expertise across AWS, GCP, and Azure (multi-cloud experience required). • Strong skills with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; Ansible/CloudFormation/Bicep a plus). • Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.). • Hands-on Kubernetes/container orchestration across multiple cloud providers. • Background in monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, Cloud-native tools). • Bonus: prior startup/scale-up experience or track record as a solo DevOps/infra engineer. • Must be U.S.-based and either a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder. Why Join Us • Contribute to work that directly supports U.S. national security and mission-critical systems. • Get startup-style autonomy and impact with the stability of government-backed contracts. • Build security-first infrastructure at the edge of cloud, networking, and DevOps innovation. • Work in a small, fast-moving team where your contributions are visible and valued. • Opportunity to convert to a full-time role after initial contract.
