  • Lead incident management, root-cause analysis, and high-availability engineering for production workloads.
  • Ensure compliance with government security standards for financial systems and data platforms.
  • Automate operational tasks including patching, configuration management, and environment provisioning.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience leading teams in platform operations, cloud operations, site reliability engineering, and infrastructure engineering.
  • Experience operating and supporting data platforms in AWS GovCloud including IAM, networking, compute, storage, monitoring, and security services.
  • Experience managing cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tools and operating Databricks on restricted or secure environments.
  • Experience supporting production workloads for distributed systems, APIs, microservices, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and Kafka.
  • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and automating operational tasks like patching and configuration management.
  • Knowledge of cloud security best practices, logging, monitoring, incident response, and government compliance frameworks.
  • Ability to lead incident management, root-cause analysis, and high-availability engineering.
  • Bachelor's degree and Public Trust determination required.
