What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Infrastructure Engineer position at Putnam Recruiting Group?
SENIOR CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER
About the Company
I'm partnered with a company building mission-critical software for military logistics and sustainment. Their flagship product is an AI-enabled logistics command-and-control platform that gives commanders a single, real-time operating picture of their sustainment fight, from inventory and distribution to medical and operational planning, even in a degraded and contested environment.
They are a small, fast-moving team combining deep DoD operational experience with rigorous software discipline. They embed directly with military units during exercises, ship constantly, and stay close to their users.
