How much do contractual cloud native developer jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Contractual Cloud Native Developer vs Cloud Software Engineer?
| Aspect | Contractual Cloud Native Developer | Cloud Software Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Relevant certifications (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker), coding skills | Similar certifications, strong programming background |
| Work Environment | Project-based, contract roles, often remote or on-site | Full-time, in-house or remote teams within organizations |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Consulting firms, tech startups, freelance projects | Large tech companies, cloud service providers, enterprises |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Focus on short-term projects, specific skills | Long-term roles, career growth opportunities |
The Contractual Cloud Native Developer typically works on short-term, project-based roles focusing on cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes and Docker. In contrast, a Cloud Software Engineer often holds a full-time position within an organization, working on ongoing cloud solutions. Both roles require similar certifications and technical skills, but differ mainly in employment type and work environment.

Job description
Platform Engineer (Cloud-Native AI/ML Systems Integration) Location: Dayton, OH (preferred) | Remote Eligible (CAC Access Required) Clearance: TS/SCI Preferred
Build the Infrastructure That Makes AI Mission-Ready As a Platform Engineer, you will design and operate the infrastructure that enables AI/ML systems to function in real-world mission environments supporting classified, mission-critical programs.
You won't just build platforms: you'll bridge the gap between AI development and operational deployment, ensuring systems scale, integrate, and perform under real constraints.
What You'll Do
- Architect and operate Kubernetes-based platforms supporting AI/ML workloads
- Build and manage containerized environments (Docker, Helm, OCI) for scalable deployment
- Design and optimize data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and model lifecycle support
- Integrate AI/ML services into secure, mission-critical systems
- Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) for repeatable, compliant environments
- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Implement observability and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure system health and performance
- Collaborate cross-functionally to translate complex requirements into deployable systems
- Solve engineering challenges within classified and constrained environments
What You Bring
- Strong experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native platform engineering
- Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Helm)
- Experience supporting data pipelines or ML-enabled systems
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
- Experience with CI/CD and DevSecOps practices
- Understanding of distributed systems and system integration
- Ability to operate effectively in secure or regulated environments
Clearance Requirements
- Active TS/SCI clearance strongly preferred
- Candidates with an active Secret clearance may be considered and supported for upgrade
- Candidates without an active clearance must be: U.S. citizens eligible to obtain and maintain a clearance able to work in a CAC-enabled or secure environment
Note: Start timelines and work scope may vary depending on clearance status and program requirements
Why This Role Matters
In many environments, AI stops at experimentation; in this role, you ensure it becomes operational capability.
You will: Enable AI/ML systems to move from development to deployment Support mission-critical operations tied to national security Work at the intersection of cloud-native engineering, DevSecOps, and AI infrastructure Build systems where failure is not an option and performance is essential
Your work directly impacts how advanced technology is applied in real-world scenarios.
What You'll Gain
- Hands-on ownership of platforms powering AI/ML in mission environments
- Exposure to complex, high-scale distributed systems
- Experience integrating modern cloud-native technologies into secure, real-world systems
- Growth across platform engineering, DevSecOps, and AI infrastructure
- The opportunity to solve problems most engineers never encounter
