Responsibilities:

    • As the Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you'll drive the continuous improvement and high-availability operation of our FedRAMP-High compliant infrastructure, as well as managing and mentoring a team of Infrastructure SWEs responsible for our Infrastructure and Platform Engineering efforts. As an AWS GovCloud shop, we leverage infrastructure as code (IaC) to manage large-scale, distributed systems with a focus on security, reliability, and automation, in accordance with the most stringent FedRAMP compliance practices.
    • We’re seeking a seasoned engineer to lead our next wave of infrastructure improvements, championing modern practices in architecture, observability, and operability. You’ll advocate for secure, scalable design decisions, and guide your co-workers in making optimal trade-offs to build the best infrastructure possible for our customers’ needs. Your role will significantly shape our platform’s evolution, helping to ensure that we deliver the reliability and performance our customers demand, even in critical life and safety applications.
