About the role

About GovEagle
We build an AI-powered platform that helps government contractors
draft proposals faster and more securely. Our stack: Python
micro-services, Celery workers, Redis, Kubernetes, and LLM
integrations in AWS GovCloud & Azure GovCloud.

**The Gig (1 Month, [?] 20 hrs/week)**
Help us hit a strict uptime & latency SLA by auditing our
infrastructure and knocking out the highest-impact fixes within four
weeks.

What You'll Tackle

  * Reliability audit of K8s workloads, Celery queues, Redis caching,
    and cloud networking
  * Prioritized action plan + rapid "quick win" implementations (HPA
    tuning, alerts, rollout strategies)
  * Guidance (or prototype) on adopting Temporal where Celery falls
    short
  * Clear documentation so our small team can maintain the
    improvements

Tech You'll Touch
Python * Redis * Kubernetes (Helm/Kustomize) * Celery * Docker
Bonus: Temporal, Terraform, Prometheus/Grafana, GitHub Actions

What We Need

  * 5+ yrs running high-availability production systems
  * Deep experience scaling Python services on Kubernetes
  * Track record with queue-based architectures and observability
  * FedRAMP / GovCloud familiarity is a plus

How to Apply
Message me here with a short intro, relevant project highlights, and
your hourly rate. We'll move fast.

About GovEagle

GovEagle (YC W23) helps government contractors respond to federal
requests for proposals (RFPs) in hours instead of weeks. We use AI to
turn existing content, templates, and more into a complete first
draft. Our vision is to become the Salesforce for government
contractors - one place to identify, respond to, and manage
government proposals/awards.
