    • 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
    • Responsibilities will span strategic architecture, production operations, developer experience, team leadership, and incident management
