Staff Platform Engineer (R6156)

What You'll Do:

Platform Architecture & Engineering
* Build and evolve scalable internal platform infrastructure supporting engineering workloads across public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments.
* Design and implement platform capabilities that enable standardized, secure, and repeatable application deployment of applications and services.
* Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code frameworks and reusable platform modules to accelerate engineering productivity.
* Establish and evolve “paved path” platform patterns that simplify secure software delivery for engineering teams.

Automation & Developer Enablement
* Build automation and developer tooling that improves software delivery and engineering productivity.
* Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, artifact management, and developer platform tooling.
* Collaborate with engineering teams to reduce operational friction and improve system observability, resilience, and reliability.
* Develop internal tools, platform integrations, and automation frameworks that streamline engineering workflows across the organization.
Infrastructure & Systems Engineering
* Design, implement, and operate highly available infrastructure platforms supporting mission-critical engineering systems.
* Implement scalable platform solutions across cloud and on-prem environments including compute, networking, identity, and storage.
* Partner with security teams to embed strong security controls, auditability, and compliance requirements into platform architectures.
* Evaluate and introduce new technologies that improve system scalability, security, and operational efficiency.

Required Qualifications:

* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
* 8+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or site reliability engineering roles supporting large-scale systems.
* Deep hands-on experience designing, building and operating cloud or hybrid infrastructure platforms, including networking, identity, compute, and storage systems.
* Strong expertise with Infrastructure as Code and automation frameworks (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, or similar).
* Experience building or improving CI/CD pipelines, developer platform tooling, and automated deployment workflows.
* Strong systems engineering background across Linux-based environments, distributed systems, and infrastructure automation using scripting or programming languages (Python, Go, Bash, PowerShell, etc.).
* Demonstrated ability to understand, build, and own complex platform initiatives and collaborate across engineering and infrastructure teams.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical direction across multiple engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Experience building or operating internal developer platforms (IDP) or engineering productivity platforms that support large-scale development environments.
* Experience with Kubernetes and modern container platforms.
* ·Experience deploying infrastructure across commercial and government cloud environments, including AWS and Azure.
* Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and integrating security controls into automated infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
* Experience implementing observability platforms, including centralized logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing for large-scale systems.
* Experience working within defense, aerospace, or other regulated industries, including familiarity with frameworks such as NIST or FedRAMP.
