Full Job Description

EMPLOYER IS A CONTRACTOR FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. THIS POSITION WILL REQUIRE U.S. CITIZENSHIP.

Role Description

Defense Unicorns is seeking a Junior Engineer to serve as Tier 1 helpdesk support on the Shipmates team. You will be the dedicated first line of support for end users across a cloud-based platform environment, handling user access requests, device troubleshooting, application issues, ticket triage, and log investigation.

This role is designed with a deliberate growth trajectory. The helpdesk is your day-to-day foundation while you learn the platform environment, but the expectation is that you grow well beyond it. On slower days, you will pair with other engineers on the team to build technical depth in Kubernetes, AWS, containerized applications, CI/CD pipelines, and SRE practices. You should be someone who is curious, driven, and eager to expand your technical scope over time.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for Tier 1 end-user support across the platform environment, triaging issues and resolving or escalating as appropriate
Handle user permissions and access requests for mission applications
Troubleshoot device usage issues and general application access problems
Triage development team tickets for broken pipelines, dashboard questions, and log investigation, routing to the correct team
Manage day-to-day ticket flow using JIRA Service Management and participate in the on-call rotation
Develop and maintain internal documentation, runbooks, playbooks, and triage procedures to formalize Tier 1 processes
Contribute to platform homepage and user-facing documentation, including support contact information and links to guides
Define and maintain clear Tier 1 scope boundaries and escalation criteria in coordination with Tier 2 engineering teams
Pair with senior engineers during lower-volume periods to build technical depth in Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and SRE practices with the platform.
Support documentation efforts for platform User and Admin guides
Defense Unicorns operates in a distributed remote environment, employee's core hours will need to accommodate East Coast user/application team needs

The listed responsibilities are not exhaustive and additional responsibilities may be assigned based on the evolving needs of the organization. We are seeking a dynamic individual who is able to adapt and take on new responsibilities as they arise.

Travel Expectations/Requirements: None

Minimum Experience and Qualifications

Experience in an IT help desk, system administration, or IT operations role
Familiarity with ticketing systems such as JIRA Service Management or similar
Experience with macOS, Windows, or Linux administration
Basic understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred) and willingness to learn Kubernetes, containerized applications, and CI/CD pipelines
US citizenship required; must be eligible for CUI access
Ability to meet IAT Level II certification requirements (e.g., Security+ CE) within a defined timeline, or already certified at IAT II–III
Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a remote, asynchronous environment
Strong triage instincts – able to assess, categorize, and route issues efficiently even in an environment with limited existing documentation
Proactive mindset with a willingness to build processes and documentation from the ground up

Preferred Experience and Qualifications

Defense contractor or government IT experience
Familiarity with Kubernetes, AWS, or containerized application environments
Experience supporting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins)

Experience supporting or administering SIEM platforms, MDM solutions, or similar security tooling
IAT Level II or III certification (Security+, CASP+, CISSP, or equivalent) already obtained
Experience writing technical documentation, runbooks, or standard operating procedures
