Job Description:
- Platform Services is looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to help build and operate the platform capabilities that enable FedRAMP High and IL5 environments.
- This role is for an independent senior engineer who can own large features or bounded platform systems with minimal guidance.
- You will design and build centralized platform APIs, reusable CI components, continuous delivery capabilities, federal promotion workflows, and paved-road service onboarding patterns.
- You should be comfortable identifying the right technical approach when the problem is known but the solution is unclear, raising reliability and security standards, and acting as a trusted resource for engineers with less experience.
- Build and harden platform services required for FedRAMP High and IL5, including centralized platform APIs, reusable CI components, and continuous delivery capabilities.
- Help move federal promotion workflows from manual operations toward automated, gated, auditable deployments.
- Support controlled rollout paths for federal staging and production environments, including validation gates, rollback safety, and operational readiness.
- Build paved-road platform patterns that help teams onboard services into federal environments safely and consistently.
- Partner with other teams to unblock federal build-out and ensure platform capabilities are secure, reliable, operable, and easy to adopt.
- Build infrastructure and automation that improves reliability, security, repeatability, and operator experience.
- Participate in production support and incident response for platform services, including issues that primarily affect federal clusters.
- Contribute documentation, runbooks, dashboards, and operational handoffs so federal systems can be supported sustainably.
- Provide guidance and technical feedback to engineers with less experience.
- 8 years of experience in SRE, infrastructure engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or backend systems engineering.
- Strong coding or scripting experience in Python, Go, Ruby, Bash, or similar languages.
- Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD systems, deployment automation, or service orchestration.
- Comfort operating production systems with observability, alerting, incident response, and post-incident follow-through.
- Experience building secure systems with auditability, change control, and compliance requirements in mind.
- Good judgment in distributed systems, deployment safety, reliability tradeoffs, and operational risk.
- Strong written communication and a habit of leaving clear runbooks, design notes, and implementation plans behind.
- Experience with FedRAMP, DoD IL5, FIPS, GovCloud, vulnerability management, or regulated SaaS environments.
- Experience with platform APIs, CI components, continuous delivery systems, artifact promotion, or progressive delivery.
- Experience turning manual operational workflows into automated, supportable systems.
