Job Description

Here’s what the team is counting on you to own and how you’ll make an impact.

Skylight is a digital consultancy using design and technology to help government agencies deliver better public services. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is launching one of the most ambitious transformations in government — and this is a rare chance to be part of it. You’ll join a high-impact team of product managers, researchers, designers, engineers, and security experts working side-by-side with HHS leadership to modernize the systems people rely on to access healthcare, strengthen cybersecurity that protects personal data, launch digital services used by tens of millions every day, and integrate data and AI responsibly into daily work across the department so teams at every level can make smarter, safer decisions. As a DevOps engineer on this project, you’ll design secure, scalable platforms that support rapid, reliable delivery. You’ll standardize infrastructure as code, improve observability, and set secure defaults so teams can ship faster and safer. Just as importantly, you’ll prepare federal teams to sustain these improvements by sharing knowledge and practices that last — from training and enablement to reusable tools like templates, playbooks, and decision records.
