## Description

**24/7 FedRAMP Operations · Rotational Shift · Hybrid**

**KEY REQUIREMENT**

This role requires US citizenship and residence on US soil. It sits within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment, so FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are non-negotiable, not preferred.

_Eyes on glass. Hands on the pipeline. Real ownership from day one._

This isn't a watch-and-wait monitoring seat. Our client needs engineers who can read a Kibana query at 3am, know the difference between a blip and a breach, and act on it, on a FedRAMP-authorised cloud platform that genuinely can't afford downtime.

**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**

·       **Real-time monitoring and first-response triage.** Across AWS (Commercial/GovCloud) and EKS infrastructure.

·       **Log-level root cause investigation.** In Kibana and Elasticsearch, you'll actually dig, not just escalate.

·       **CVE remediation and STIG hardening.** On your patch, within FedRAMP SLA windows.

·       **Deployment execution and troubleshooting.** Through GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.

## Requirements

**WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU**

·       **3–5 years** in SRE, DevOps, systems administration, or cloud support.

·       **Solid Linux administration** (RHEL, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu) and comfort with bash/Python scripting.

·       **Working knowledge of Kubernetes/EKS, AWS core services,** and L4/L7 load balancing troubleshooting.

·       **Prometheus, Grafana, and ChatOps-via-Slack experience.**

·       **US citizenship and US-soil residency,** with genuine availability for overnight/weekend rotational shifts. This is non-negotiable.

## Benefits

**WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US**

·       **A defined engagement.** Mid-September through end of March, with clear shift expectations up front.

·       **Competitive W2 hourly rate.** $70–$80/hr, with overnight/weekend shift premium built in, DOE.

·       **A genuine reference point.** For FedRAMP/GovCloud experience on your CV.

·       **Real support.** From a delivery partner that treats contractors like people, not headcount.
