[Hiring] Staff DevOps Engineer @Red Cell Partners

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to build the secure delivery and deployment foundation for Red Cell Federal. You will start with a largely blank slate, focusing on:

• Designing and implementing CI/CD, software promotion, infrastructure automation, and operational processes for software deployed across unclassified, controlled, and classified environments.
• Contributing to the technical work required to pursue and maintain federal authorization requirements.
• Becoming a critical connection point between our software teams and restricted customer environments as customer deployments grow.
• Diagnosing issues, coordinating fixes, and safely deploying corrected artifacts in situations where other engineers cannot access the environment or receive its logs.

This role is well suited to someone who has built DevOps systems before, has strong technical judgment, and wants genuine ownership rather than a mature platform to maintain.

Qualifications

• Active U.S. government Secret clearance or higher; an active Top Secret clearance is preferred.
• Professional experience in DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, SRE, release engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience building or substantially redesigning CI/CD and deployment systems.
• Experience deploying software into government, defense, regulated, disconnected, air-gapped, or otherwise restricted environments.
• Strong understanding of software delivery, artifact promotion, environment isolation, access controls, and operational troubleshooting.
• Experience with GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or comparable tooling.
• Experience with containers, Kubernetes, Helm, or related orchestration and packaging technologies.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and configuration automation.
• Ability to script and automate in languages such as Python, Bash, or Go.
• Ability to make sound technical decisions with incomplete requirements.
• Strong communication skills across software engineering, security, compliance, and customer stakeholders.
• A builder mentality and genuine interest in creating systems from zero.

Requirements

• Experience with IL4, IL5, IL6, classified, or cross-domain deployment workflows.
• Experience contributing to an ATO or continuous authorization process.
• Familiarity with NIST, RMF, FedRAMP, CMMC, STIGs, or related federal requirements.

Benefits

• Career track opportunity with potential for rapid advancement with strong performance as the firm grows.
• 100% employer paid, comprehensive health care including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family.
• Paid maternity and paternity for 14 weeks at employees' normal pay.
• Unlimited PTO, with management approval.
• Opportunities for professional development and continued learning.
• Optional 401K, FSA, and equity incentives available.
• Mental health benefits available through Tara Mind.
• Cost effective GLP-1 solutions available through Crux.
