Peraton is seeking a Platform Engineer to support a customer in Colorado Springs, CO, supporting the Space Weather Analysis Forecasting Service (SWAFS) GovCloud solution. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced developer to contribute to a mission-critical government program in a collaborative Agile environment.
The Platform Engineer builds and operates the AWS cloud infrastructure, automation, and services used to deliver and support government and intelligence-community applications. The role combines cloud infrastructure, software development, Kubernetes operations, secure CI/CD, cloud developer environments, cybersecurity, observability, and AI-enabled platform capabilities.
This is an individual contributor role on-site in Colorado Springs. The engineer owns assigned features from planning through implementation, review, deployment, verification, and operational follow-up.
You will join a technically rigorous, collaborative, and good-humored platform engineering team. We value ownership, direct communication, practical judgment, predictable and timely delivery, respectful code review, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
We support one another while maintaining clear ownership of delivery. Team members share context, review each other's work, and help solve problems across the platform rather than treating systems as personal territory. Each engineer is expected to investigate problems, make progress independently, meet delivery commitments, surface risks early, and avoid shortcuts that create preventable security, reliability, or maintenance problems.
