• You'll work alongside Third Party Vendors that support our Public Sector environment and collaborate daily with internal engineers across Application Security, Platform, and CloudOps Teams
• 30 Days: You’ve passed onboarding, completed security training, contributed code and are comfortable working across both Commercial and Public Sector environments
• 60 Days: You’re contributing a substantial amount of code (Terraform, Python), reviewing others' work, and managing tasks in the Public Sector environment independently
• 90 Days: You’re self-directed, finding and solving issues proactively, and reducing dependency on peers and manager affirmations for day-to-day application support and infrastructure work
• Own and operate CoLab’s US-based cloud infrastructure, including Public Sector environments in AWS, Azure and GCP
• Write and maintain Terraform to support infrastructure deployments via SpaceLift
• Build and troubleshoot Lambda functions (primarily in Python) to support application and infrastructure automation
