Job Description

Bridge Defense is hiring a full-time Product Operations Engineer to support the deployment, day-to-day operation, and ongoing improvement of FarSpan on government networks, including classified environments. The role includes hands-on last-mile delivery and high-side support, along with translating operational learnings into actionable product updates.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the high-side product request queue, including deployments, configuration changes, data transfers, access requests, and health checks.
Execute requests using written runbooks, confirm successful completion, and document results before closing each request.
Monitor deployed software and provide a daily system status report.
Escalate unexpected behavior, system issues, and other concerns that require timely attention.
Maintain runbooks and update procedures when documented steps do not match the operating environment.
Determine when a request falls outside documented procedures and seek guidance before proceeding.
Maintain an improvement backlog that captures recurring tasks, inefficient processes, and workarounds.
Capture operational context and potential approaches to resolve or automate recurring issues.
Partner with the product team to prioritize and execute improvements.
Participate in product standups to understand development priorities and contribute operational insight.
Identify environmental constraints early and explain when proposed changes may not work in the deployed environment.
Create clear tickets and reports that help the development team understand and address operational gaps.

Required Qualifications

Experience writing code and the ability to read a script and explain its function (professional software engineering experience is not required).
Ability to follow documented procedures precisely and identify when instructions need correction.

Ability to navigate modern software and perform standard technical tasks involving files, processes, networks, and permissions.
Ability to perform hands-on technical work in secure government environments.
Ability to follow documented procedures, maintain accurate records, and promptly escalate issues.
Ability to travel when needed up to 10%.
Depending on project requirements, willingness to work within a compressed schedule; overtime should be expected when schedules demand it.

Ability to multi-task and rapidly change priorities with limited notice.
