About this role
Role Overview
- Direct the design, implementation, and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines, automated provisioning, and monitoring processes across cloud and hybrid environments.
- Lead efforts to standardize and optimize platform engineering practices, adopting Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and microservices deployment models.
- Develop and enforce SRE principles, including release management, system reliability, observability, incident management, SLAs/SLOs, and fault tolerance.
- Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to proactively identify issues, reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), and drive service uptime objectives.
- Integrate security throughout the SDLC, ensuring robust code review, vulnerability scanning, and threat modeling within automated pipelines.
- Collaborate with security teams to remediate vulnerabilities and achieve compliance with industry and federal standards (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST).
- Mentor and lead a multidisciplinary team, promoting an agile, collaborative, and innovative work environment.
- Partner with development, security, and operations teams to align platform strategies with business and mission requirements.
- Champion creation and curation of reusable infrastructure patterns, automation scripts, cloud orchestration templates, and developer self-service platforms.
- Oversee operational readiness, incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives to ensure high availability and rapid recovery from service disruptions.
- Drive a culture of innovation by assessing and implementing advancements in DevOps, platform engineering, and SRE practices.
- Prepare and present operational dashboards, incident reports, risk assessments, and status updates to program leadership and customers.
