About the role
The Systems Engineer is the hands-on individual responsible for the design, security, and dayto- day operation of the Wicked Problems Lab's research computing environment — spanning AWS cloud, on-premises GPU/AI compute, databases, and systems security. This is a practitioner role for someone who provisions infrastructure, configures and hardens systems, and unblocks researchers directly, with a high degree of autonomy in a fastmoving national security research setting.
