• Establish SLOs, error budgets, incident-response processes, and on-call practices
• Lead disaster-recovery and resilience initiatives
• Build observability across metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and operational signals
• Use production data and postmortems to improve reliability and reduce deployment risk
Security, Operations & Leadership
• Embed security into cloud architecture, platform tooling, and software-delivery workflows
• Support compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CMMC
• Lead and develop a high-performing Infrastructure or Platform Engineering team
• Mentor engineers and influence infrastructure strategy across technical and executive stakeholders
• Balance long-term platform strategy with hands-on production and incident-management responsibilities
Ideal Profile

• 3+ years of engineering leadership experience
• Deep expertise with AWS, GCP, or multi-cloud production environments
• Strong Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code experience
• Strong knowledge of Kubernetes and containerised infrastructure
• Experience designing and operating modern CI/CD platforms
• Demonstrated success building highly available, observable, and resilient systems
• Strong understanding of infrastructure security, compliance, and operational risk
• Experience scaling infrastructure and engineering teams in fast-moving environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication and ability to influence technical strategy
• AI/ML infrastructure or large-scale data-platform experience is highly valuable
• Familiarity with model training, inference, evaluation, or data-pipeline infrastructure is advantageous
• Experience with FedRAMP, GovCloud, CMMC Level 2, or comparable regulated environments is beneficial
Engagement Details
• Full-time engagement
• Fully remote
• Base compensation: $350,000–$500,000/year
• Work will involve AWS, GCP, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, reliability engineering, platform tooling, security, and technical leadership
