JOB DESCRIPTION:
Our Platform Services team is hiring a technical leader to shape the architecture
and direction of Platform Services for FedRAMP High and IL5. This role will
influence technical decisions across centralized platform APIs, reusable CI
components, continuous delivery workflows, service onboarding, federal
promotion automation, and paved-road platform capabilities.
This is a system-level technical leadership role. You should be able to take a
broad perspective, guide other engineers, build consensus across teams, and
make strong contributions under time pressure on mission-critical systems. You
will lead design direction, coordinate complex work, and raise the technical bar
through architecture reviews, mentorship, and clear communication.
What You’ll Do
Set the technical strategy for Platform Services work supporting FedRAMP
High and IL5.
Own key architectural decisions for centralized platform APIs, CI
components, continuous delivery workflows, automated service
onboarding, and federal promotion gates.
Lead the move from manual federal promotion processes toward reliable,
automated, gated delivery workflows.
Define patterns for service onboarding, deployment validation, operational
readiness, audit-friendly change control, and rollback safety.
Partner with other teams to align dependencies, remove blockers, and
drive clear technical decisions across the federal build-out.
Lead design reviews for services moving into federal environments, with
attention to isolation, observability, security controls, and operational
ownership.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers; raise the quality of designs, code
reviews, runbooks, and incident analysis.
Represent Platform Services in program planning, execution commit work,
risk reviews, and senior engineering discussions.
Communicate difficult technical concepts clearly to stakeholders and help
the team reach durable decisions.
You Are an Ideal Candidate If You Have
8-12+ years of experience in SRE, platform engineering, infrastructure,
distributed systems, or cloud operations.

Strong software engineering skills in Python, Go, Ruby, or similar
languages, plus experience with infrastructure-as-code and production
automation.
Deep experience operating large-scale cloud or hybrid-cloud systems with
strong reliability, security, and observability requirements.
Strong understanding of CI/CD, deployment orchestration, Kubernetes,
AWS, and production incident response.
Ability to translate compliance and security requirements into practical
