Cloud Systems Engineer (Cleared)
About Swoop:
Swoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world’s military and critical infrastructure. We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world’s equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf. Imagine the world’s equipment - consisting of the electrical grid, communications architectures, manufacturing facilities, and militaries as a trapped supply of inputs possessing the potential to ensure Western military advantage, sovereign control of economically competitive manufacturing capacity, or the creation of a grid that fosters energy dominance. Swoop is liberating these trapped assets, allowing them to contribute to the world’s future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety. That is what Swoop is building. Not in the data center or cloud or edge on-premise computing node. In the physical world. This is a hybrid position that requires someone based in Minneapolis/St. Paul or Washington, DC who can work in-office 3+ days per week
Impact:
You will work with the existing infrastructure and deployment team to automate, scale and test deployments of Swoop Technologies’ products. Deployments may include secure, airgapped, on prem, remote, bare metal and cloud environments. Currently, deployments are closely tied to a gitlab CI/CD infrastructure. Day to day tasks will include spinning up and down AWS resources to support code development and testing, refining Terraform provisioning scripts, monitoring and building out profiling metrics, and securing overall cloud presence.
What You’ll Do:
• Building out automation around monitoring of cloud resource health and usage
• Working with security engineers to ensure NIST, STIG compliance of cloud applications
• Automation of cloud resource provisioning using Terraform and Ansible
• Streamlining the process by which developers deploy, run and test code in cloud environments
• Enabling appropriate cloud and orchestration scaling mechanisms to ensure ideal balance of performance and resource use efficiency
• Support code and resource updates of client installations
• Work with client engineers to monitor and fine tune their resources
You Should Have:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent technical experience
• Active US Security clearance or ability and willingness to be sponsored for a US Security clearance
• 3+ yrs in cloud provisioning and management
• Understanding of basic software security standards, CI/CD configuration, and buildout (i.e. configuring gitlab.yaml files)
• Code containerization (reading and editing Dockerfiles); Container orchestration (Kubernetes); Provisioning (Terraform); Cloud Deployments (AWS); Resource monitoring (Promethius)
• Linux, CentOS, Windows knowledge
• Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting
Bonus if you have:
• AWS Certifications
• Experience working in AWS gov cloud
• Competent in networking and virtualization (firewalls, IP tables, virtual environments, containerization, VMWare, application ingress, etc).
• Test/QA automation
• Code quality and security scanning using tools such as SonarQube
Swoop Technologies is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, gender identity or any other factor protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.
