Role Overview
Redhorse transforms the way the government uses data and technology. We are seeking an "Everything Engineer" with a focus on Infrastructure and DevOps to build the "runway" for a mission-critical modernization project. You will help replace a massive, decades-old legacy system that manages billions of dollars in international security cooperation with a modern web platform.
This role is "Agent-native." You won't just be writing YAML; you will lead an AI-integrated development lifecycle (Codex, Claude Code) to build automated, compliant infrastructure. You will be responsible for ensuring our platform meets DoD Impact Level 4 (IL4) security requirements while maintaining a lightning-fast CI/CD feedback loop for the entire engineering team.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
Build and manage AWS GovCloud environments entirely in AWS CDK (TypeScript).
Enforce compliance rules (cdk-nag NIST packs) from the first stack.
Manage networking, compute, data stores, and secrets.
High-Performance CI/CD:
Architect GitHub Actions with affected-only builds and remote caching.
Implement merge queues and test sharding.
Maintain a strict latency budget on PR gates to ensure speed.
Compliance & DevSecOps:
Build "Compliance as a build artifact" where pipeline gates map directly to NIST controls.
Automate the generation of security-authorization evidence for the government.
Manage a dual-scan delivery pipeline for signed artifacts and provenance.
Zero Trust Architecture:
Implement CAC/ICAM-integrated identity and mTLS.
Develop policy-as-code authorization and continuous posture monitoring.A
Agentic Development:
Decompose infrastructure problems into precise specs for AI agents to implement.
Own all merged code, ensuring agent output meets production-grade standards.
Refine the team’s versioned engineering "harness" and rules.
Full-Stack Breadth:
Debug flakiness anywhere in the stack, from application code to database schemas.
Support the application engineering team by optimizing their feedback loops.
Clearance: Must be eligible for a US Secret security clearance.
3+ years years with a clear upward trajectory in cloud-native roles.
Agentic AI Proficiency: Hands-on experience with agentic AI development tools (Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent) on production codebases.
Technical Stack: Deep fluency in TypeScript and AWS CDK. Software engineering depth in Node.js and PostgreSQL/Prisma. Experience with container orchestration (EKS/ECS). Compliance Knowledge: Proven track record of operating cloud infrastructure for products at DoD IL4 or similar high-security environments.
