Site Reliability Engineer

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.
