At Two Six Technologies, we build, deploy, and implement innovative products that solve the world’s most complex challenges today. Through unrivaled collaboration and unwavering trust, we push the boundaries of what’s possible to empower our team and support our customers in building a safer global future.
Two Six Technologies is currently seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer.
This is a role for a highly autonomous and driven Senior DevOps Engineer who thrives on ownership and working independently. We are looking for a true self-starter who doesn't wait for tasks but proactively identifies potential issues, improvements, and optimizations within our infrastructure. You will be expected to take full ownership of your domain, from discovery and design to implementation and long-term maintenance, with a relentless personal drive for ensuring the stability and performance of our production systems.
Location: Remote
What you will do:
• Take complete ownership of architecting, deploying, and managing our sophisticated AWS-based infrastructure, including services like EC2, EKS, S3, IAM, Fargate, Lambda, and SQS.
• Independently drive and own our entire infrastructure as code strategy, expertly using Terraform and Terragrunt to build and maintain a fully automated environment.
• Proactively identify and resolve system vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and reliability risks before they impact production, demonstrating a powerful personal drive to improve the platform.
• Develop and maintain robust Ansible playbooks for advanced configuration management and automation, working independently to standardize and secure our systems.
• Serve as a key escalation point in an on-call rotation, demonstrating strong ownership during incident response and in conducting post-incident reviews to drive preventative measures.
• Manage and maintain the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to maintain deep visibility into system health, performance, and security.
• Define your own project priorities and manage deadlines based on business needs, demonstrating an exceptional level of self-management and initiative.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes (EKS).
• Ensuring test and production environments are secure and meet standards (i.e. FedRAMP, CMMC 2, SOC 2) required by corporate policy or contractual obligation.
What you will need (basic qualifications):
• Extreme Ownership & Self-Management: You must be a true self-starter, capable of defining your own tasks, managing your time, and delivering results without direct supervision. The ability to take complete ownership of a problem from start to finish is non-negotiable.
• Proactive & Independent Problem-Solver: A powerful personal drive to hunt for potential problems and inefficiencies. You don't just fix what's broken; you work independently to seek out opportunities to improve system resilience, performance, and security on your own initiative.
• Production-Obsessed Mindset: A deep and personal commitment to production environment reliability, uptime, and performance.
• 5+ years of experience in a DevOps role, with a proven track record of working independently and taking ownership of production environments built with AWS, Terraform, and Ansible.
• Infrastructure as Code: Deep, hands-on proficiency with Terraform, Terragrunt, and other modern IaC tools.
• Compliance as Code: Experience automating evidence collection for FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, or similar audits, specifically within AI-integrated CI/CD pipelines.
• AIOps: Proven experience leveraging AI-driven operations (AIOps) to automate incident response, perform predictive analysis on system health, and optimize CI/CD pipelines.
• Configuration Management: Extensive experience authoring and maintaining and versioning complex Ansible playbooks using tools such as Github.
• Cloud Platform (AWS): Expert-level knowledge of AWS services for designing highly available and secure infrastructure (EC2, EKS, S3, IAM, Fargate, etc.).
• Kubernetes: Strong production experience running HA EKS environments.
• Monitoring & Logging: Experience with an observability stack using ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
• Containerization and Orchestration: Deep expertise in Docker and hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS) and Helm.
• CI/CD and Automation: Extensive experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions in an automated fashion.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Clearance Requirement:
Eligibility to obtain government clearance if required/needed.
