# Senior Site Reliability Engineer

> C-Serv · Reston, United States (Hybrid) · Contract · Posted 2026-08-27

**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

**FedRAMP Cloud Environment · Rotational On-Call - Hybrid**

**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.

_Build the systems. Fix what breaks. Help keep a regulated cloud platform audit-ready._

This is a hands-on senior engineering role on a FedRAMP-authorised platform: real architecture work, real incident ownership, real compliance stakes. If you want a role where your decisions actually shape the infrastructure rather than just maintaining someone else's, this is it.

**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**

·       **Reliability and design decisions.** Across multi-cluster Amazon EKS and AWS Commercial/GovCloud infrastructure.

·       **Advanced incident response.** Root cause, resolution, and the RCA that follows.

·       **A slice of FedRAMP compliance.** Vulnerability management, DISA STIG hardening, NIST SP 800-53 controls in practice.

·       **Observability architecture.** Prometheus, Grafana, SLIs/SLOs that actually mean something to the business.

## Requirements

**WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU**

·       **5–8+ years** in SRE, cloud DevOps, or infrastructure architecture.

·       **Strong AWS** (VPC, IAM, EC2, S3, KMS) and hands-on GovCloud exposure.

·       **Kubernetes/EKS depth.** Cluster upgrades, Helm, container security, not just kubectl basics.

·       **Comfort with Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, and GitOps workflows.**

·       **US citizenship and US-soil residency,** with availability for rotational on-call coverage.

## Benefits

**WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US**

·       **A defined contract term.** Mid-September through end of March, with a clear scope from day one.

·       **Competitive W2 hourly rate.** $85–$105/hr, reflecting FedRAMP/GovCloud premium and shift work, DOE.

·       **Genuinely useful experience.** Direct exposure to a live FedRAMP audit environment.

·       **Straight talk.** A recruiter who'll actually tell you what the engagement is really like before you sign.
