The Role Own self-hosted deployments for sensitive federal and defense customers. This high-ownership infrastructure role begins hands-on — managing deployments across cloud to fully air-gapped on-prem environments, providing compliance guidance, and performing deep debugging — and evolves into building automation, tools, and broader platform-level infrastructure to support efficient scaling for enterprise clients.
Key Responsibilities
Adapt, own, and maintain infrastructure for large customers in federal/defense spaces across heterogeneous environments.
Harden and continuously evaluate security configurations in self-hosted setups.
Guide customers in establishing and implementing compliant architectures, navigating strict security and operational requirements (FedRAMP Moderate equivalent, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53, IL-5/6).
Contribute directly to the product codebase to improve deployability, security, observability, and reliability.
Serve as a forward-deployed engineer, including potential on-site support for classified deployments.
Debug complex technical issues in novel or limited-access environments and enhance observability for future efficiency.
Participate in an on-call rotation to handle software updates, migrations, network changes, and production incidents.
Develop automation, playbooks, and tools to transition from manual operations to scalable multi-customer support.
