authorization, and ongoing compliance sustainment.

• Ensure platform availability and performance meet or exceed defined SLAs.

• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, runbook development, and
operational follow-through to improve reliability over time.

• Expand platform automation to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and support
scaling across environments.

• Build and mature observability practices to detect incidents as early as possible and
improve mean time to resolution.

• Partner with engineering, security, product, and leadership stakeholders to review
environments regularly and identify cloud cost optimization opportunities.

• Design and operate secure CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

• Implement and maintain cloud networking, access controls, and security architecture
across VPCs, subnets, firewalls, DNS, load balancers, and VPN configurations.

• Support deployment patterns involving microservices, containers, serverless
infrastructure, and orchestration platforms.

• Maintain clear technical documentation for architecture, processes, controls, and
operational procedures.

• 7+ years of experience in Infrastructure, Dev Ops, Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud
Platform Engineering, or related roles.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related STEM field.

• Proven experience building and managing cloud infrastructure with a focus on
scalability, security, resiliency, and high uptime.

• Experience supporting applications through the FedRAMP process or in FedRAMP
- authorized environments.

• Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Strong experience with Dev Ops methodologies and building robust CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus,
ELK, Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, or similar tools.

• Experience with microservices, containerization, serverless infrastructure, and
orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Cloud Run.
