Role Summary
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.
• Demonstrated technical leadership across multi-team infrastructure or platform
programs.
• 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 engineering
systems and operating models.
• Excellent written communication, architecture review, mentoring, and cross-
functional leadership skills.
Preferred
• Experience building or operating FedRAMP High, DoD IL5, GovCloud, FIPS, or other
regulated environments.
• Experience with platform APIs, progressive delivery, CI components, continuous
delivery, artifact promotion, or deployment control planes.
• Experience leading automation of previously manual operational workflows.
