About the Role

N3bula Systems is hiring a Platform Developer to build secure, automated infrastructure components that power mission-critical environments. You’ll work as part of a small, highly skilled development team delivering Puppet modules, Helm charts, CI/CD pipelines, and automation scripts for integration by downstream engineering teams.

This position is primarily remote, but you must be based in San Diego, CA and available to visit customer facilities as needed for meetings, coordination, or support during integration and deployment activities.

1. Puppet modules that enforce secure configurations and compliance
2. Helm charts for Kubernetes-based deployments
3. CI/CD pipelines using GitLab
4. Automation scripts in Bash and Python

- Work closely with platform and integration engineers to support handoff and implementation of your codebase

- Contribute to reusable, modular infrastructure code libraries

- Align all code with DoD security requirements and STIG compliance

- Support customer success by occasionally joining on-site meetings or integration efforts

Required Qualifications

- Active TS/SCI clearance (must be held on day one)

- Reside in the San Diego, CA area

- 3–5+ years of experience in infrastructure/platform development

- Hands-on expertise in:

1. Kubernetes (RKE2 preferred)
2. Helm chart development
3. CI/CD pipeline creation in GitLab
4. Puppet module and Hiera development
5. Bash and Python scripting
6. Ansible (for supplemental configuration)

- Strong understanding of RHEL Linux environments

- Ability to write clean, modular code intended for handoff

Preferred Skills

1. Experience with container tools and registries (Harbor, Trivy, Skopeo)
2. Familiarity with LDAP, Keycloak, or centralized auth systems
3. Previous experience supporting DoD/IC environments
4. Experience developing for disconnected or air-gapped systems
5. Contributions to open-source infrastructure automation projects

Compensation & Benefits

- Salary: Competitive, based on experience and clearance level

- Benefits:

1. Unlimited PTO
2. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
3. 401(k) with 6% company Safe Harbor
4. Annual performance bonus potential

- Culture: Outcome-driven, minimal bureaucracy, team-oriented. We hire smart developers and trust them to deliver.
