Staff Infrastructure and Platform Engineer

• Platform Development: Build, maintain, and enhance standardized development pipelines, shared platform services, and engineering environments that enable product teams to deliver software consistently.
• Infrastructure Automation: Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions to automate provisioning, configuration, and environment management while promoting repeatability and reducing manual effort.
• Operations and Reliability: Contribute to monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotations to maintain dependable platform services and support service-level objectives.
• Incident Management: Assist with troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and post-incident problem-solving to improve system stability and prevent recurring issues.
• Developer Enablement: Help product teams onboard to standardized platform workflows, provide technical guidance, and maintain clear, accurate documentation for shared tools and services.
• Architecture and Standards Compliance: Implement solutions in accordance with established architecture, security, and platform standards. Identify gaps and recommend reusable approaches rather than creating isolated workarounds.
• Continuous Improvement: Deliver platform features and automation within planned development cycles, improve infrastructure-as-code adoption, and minimize rework caused by deviations from established standards.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders to share knowledge, address technical challenges, and progressively take ownership of platform components.

Requirements

• Education and Experience: A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and at least four years of professional experience, an associate degree and at least seven years of experience, or a high school diploma and at least nine years of experience. A minimum of three years of professional experience in infrastructure and platform engineering or IT is required. Relevant military experience is considered equivalent to professional experience.
• Technical Foundations: Hands-on experience with infrastructure and platform engineering, IT operations, or related technical environments, with the ability to implement and maintain shared infrastructure components.
• CI/CD and Automation: Familiarity with continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, infrastructure-as-code practices, container technologies, scripting, and automation.
• Programming and Version Control: Practical scripting skills in languages such as Python or Bash, along with disciplined use of version control systems.
• Monitoring and Reliability: Exposure to production service operations, monitoring and alerting tools, incident management, and participation in on-call support.
• Cloud and Infrastructure Knowledge: Understanding of modern infrastructure environments and the ability to follow established architectural patterns, operational procedures, and engineering standards.
• Preferred Education: A bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or another STEM discipline is advantageous.
• Preferred Certifications: Relevant certifications, such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Developer, Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate, or Microsoft Azure Developer Associate, are a plus.
• Collaboration and Mindset: A practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving, strong teamwork and communication skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from senior technical colleagues.
• Adaptability: Comfort working within a lean, standards-driven engineering team, balancing delivery commitments with reliability and documentation requirements.
• Industry Experience: Experience in aerospace, defense, or another regulated or export-controlled environment is beneficial.
• Work Authorization: Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Employment visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Because the role involves access to U.S. export-controlled information, candidates must also qualify as a U.S. Person under applicable regulations, including U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals granted qualifying asylee or refugee status.
