Contract: Initial 3–6 months
Clearance: SC cleared or SC eligible
There is years worth of contracting here... such a massive project.
Want to build seriously complex GCP infrastructure rather than spend the next six months maintaining somebody else's Terraform?
You'll be join an established technology company building the foundations for a major new data platform operating within highly secure and restricted environments in the defense sector.
The interesting bit is the architecture.
The platform spans edge and central Kubernetes clusters with replication between them, creating some genuinely difficult engineering problems around inter-cluster networking, connectivity, security, resilience and operating across restricted/disconnected environments.
