Senior Cloud Engineer

About Integer Technologies

Integer Technologies is an applied research and product development company founded by scientists and engineers with a passion for technology and national security. We perform R&D on next-generation systems and technologies for the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government agencies. We are hardware and software developers with experience turning research into impactful products for military and commercial applications. Our core portfolio of research includes projects in power & energy systems, unmanned systems (with an emphasis on maritime systems), digital engineering, and advanced manufacturing. We are a startup founded for the purpose of putting research into action. Our mission is to create a safer world by translating scientific discoveries into reliable products that address urgent national security needs… at the speed of relevance.

Ourmission solutionsportfolio includes work on critical enabling technologies for more reliable, more intelligent, and longer-duration unmanned systems.We are now expanding our maritimeanalytics portfolio with a new,cloud-basedsystem that visualizes ocean currents and predicts the trajectories ofmaritime platforms. This effort willleveragemodernfull stackweb technologies, highfidelity oceancurrent models, and emerging digitaltwin concepts to give operators, scientists, and decisionmakers actionable insight into the marine environment.

About the role

The Cloud Engineer role is a highly self-driven, technically curious position that sits at the intersection of moderncloudnativesoftware engineering and the rugged physicalsystems domain. In this role you will design, build, andoperatethe scalable, secure infrastructure that powers ouroceancurrentvisualization and prediction platform,delivering massive,realtimedata streams from modelsand digital twinstoenduseroperators. You willbe responsible forcreatingendtoendcloud solutions that ingest, store, and process scientific data, provision compute resources forhigh-performancedigitaltwinsimulations, and expose robust, versioned APIs (REST,gRPC, WebSocket) that downstream applications consume. Because many of our products run on physical platforms such as unmanned surface vessels, offshore rigs, anddefensegradesensor suites, we seek candidates with proven experience buildingcloudcentricdata pipelines,containerorchestratedworkloads, and automated DevOps/CICD frameworks for robotics, automotive, manufacturing, oil & gas,IIoT, defense, or aerospace applications. Your ability to translate complex scientific workloads into reliable,costeffectivecloud services will directly enable operators and analysts to visualize and act on critical maritime information.

Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able toconductresearch, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand.

What you'll do

• Design a cloud deployment architecturethat bridges multiple customer clouds

• Deploy and manage containerized simulation workloads onKubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) or on managed batch services. Implement jobscheduling, autoscaling, and provisioning for compute-intensive models.

• Collaborate with backend engineers to design secure, versioned services. ImplementAPIgateway, throttling, and authentication (OAuth2 / OpenID Connect) that the frontend UI consumes.

• Observe usingcentralized logging (ELK/EFK), metrics (Prometheus + Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor), and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) to achieveSLOgradeincident detection androotcauseanalysis

• Enforce leastprivilegeIAM policies, data encryption at rest/inflight, secret management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), and vulnerability scanning (Trivy, Snyk). Ensure the environment meets FedRAMP/NIST80053 baselinesrequiredfor any governmentfunded work.

• Evaluate emerging cloud services (e.g., serverless GPUs, managed AI pipelines,datameshconcepts) that could accelerate digitaltwin simulations or improve data latency.

Qualifications

Core Requirements

• Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain a US DoD/DoWSecret clearance.

• Must have excellent written and oral communication skills.

• 4+ years of relevant experience incloud architecture andmanagement

• Ability to travel up to approximately20% of time.

Additional Desired Skillsets

• Experience runningDigitalTwinsorSimulations in the cloud

• Familiarity with complianceframeworkslike FedRAMP, DoD/DoWSRG, and NIST-800-53

• Knowledge and understandingof back-end development usingtoolsand languagessuch as:

• Rust

• Node.js

• C++

• Experience with network configurations, protocols, certificates, and firewalls.

• Experience with scripting in BASH orPowershell
