Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer

Job Title: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer
Location: Remote (U.S.-based only)
Clearance Required: Active Secret
Employment Type: Full-Time, 6-Month Engagement (starting ~August 1, 2025)
Salary & Benefits: Competitive base + bonus structure, 401(k) match, comprehensive health benefits, generous PTO, and full remote flexibility

Metronome is seeking a skilled Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer to support the delivery of a prototype OTA project aligned with the U.S. Air Force's Platform One (P1). This is a 6-month engagement focused on building the infrastructure foundation for our internal product, Fractive, which will compete against other offerings during a "flyoff" to secure a long-term production OTA award. This is a highly strategic role for an automation-focused engineer who thrives in cloud-first environments and enjoys solving infrastructure challenges with code.

P1 Prototype Flyoff: Help shape and deliver the cloud-native infrastructure behind Fractive as part of a head-to-head R&D competition.

Production OTA Potential: If selected at the end of the PoP, your work will feed directly into a long-term, multi-option contract supporting software modernization across DoD.

Marketplace Advantage: Fractive is already "awardable" on Big Bang Marketplace, and success here increases visibility and future adoption across the government.
