Tagup is a defense technology company founded at MIT that is redefining logistics superiority with next-generation AI. We’re growing rapidly and are looking for change-makers passionate about delivering innovative technologies to solve the most challenging problems in the world’s highest stakes environments. This is an exciting opportunity to engage in meaningful work that strengthens national security and contributes to the success of U.S. and allied forces. Join us in shaping the future of defense logistics for a safer tomorrow.
At Tagup, curiosity isn’t a perk—it’s the job. If you like seeing the whole system, sharing what you know, and learning from sharp teammates, you’ll fit right in. We’re engineers and data scientists on a mission to make the machines and processes that power the world safer, more reliable, and more efficient. Our AI directly controls large-scale industrial equipment and logistics systems, delivering best-in-class performance for our customers.
We’re hiring a Cloud/DevOps Engineer to bring an SRE mindset to our platform: automate with IaC, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and tune PostgreSQL-backed services for performance and uptime. You’ll build secure, auditable CI/CD, enforce least-privilege by default, and uphold compliance across distributed, multi-region environments.

What You'll Do
Help build and secure infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, and other cloud-native services under the guidance of senior engineers.
Support ATO efforts and day-to-day compliance work (e.g., IL4/IL5, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171), preparing evidence and maintaining controls.
Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and related tooling; maintain modules and improve reliability through reviews and testing.
Participate in vulnerability management—triage findings, assist with remediation, and contribute to incident response runbooks and postmortems.
Collaborate with application teams to weave security into CI/CD and the development lifecycle (secrets management, least privilege, policy checks).
Keep current on security and DevOps best practices, proposing small, iterative improvements to strengthen our defenses and operations.
What We're Looking For
Fluency in Kubernetes and Terraform (EKS in production).
Hands-on experience with Istio and Gateway API.
Strong background in Python and PostgreSQL.
Familiarity with compliance frameworks—SOC 2, CMMC (Level 1 & 2), NIST SP 800-171, etc.
Proven track record identifying and mitigating CVEs.
Experience operating in FedRAMP environments (e.g., IL4, IL5).
Bonus Points
Experience mitigating CVEs in production systems.
Background operating in FedRAMP environments (e.g., IL4, IL5).
