Job description
Site Reliability Engineer II
Metro DC · Hybrid · 24/7 FedRAMP Operations · Rotational Shift · Initial Contract till March 27.
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. If you're a couple of years into SRE or cloud support and want your next role to open doors into FedRAMP and GovCloud work, this is a strong place to build that experience.
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 elevate.
CVE remediation and STIG hardening. On your patch, within FedRAMP SLA windows.
Deployment execution and troubleshooting. Through GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.
3+ yearsin 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.
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-$90/hr, with overnight/weekend shift premium built in, DOE.
A genuine reference point. For FedRAMP/GovCloud experience on your CV, and a real stepping stone toward Senior SRE.
Real support. From a delivery partner that treats contractors like people, not headcount.
