Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineering - Federal Operations

Abnormal AI is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering to help build the Federal Platform layer underpinning our GovCloud environment. This is a platform infrastructure role focused on designing and evolving core infrastructure and deployment foundations, while mentoring and guiding teams to improve operational efficiency.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the build-out and evolution of Abnormal’s FedRAMP High cloud infrastructure, translating security and compliance requirements into reliable, auditable AWS implementations for the GovCloud environment
• Design and maintain reusable Terraform modules, infrastructure patterns, and platform standards that make Gov changes safer, more repeatable, and easier for FedOps engineers to operate
• Drive sound architectural decisions across compute, networking, and service design, balancing compliance, operational simplicity, and parity with commercial where it delivers the most value
• Partner closely with FedRAMP, compliance, and other engineering teams to reduce environment drift, improve deployment readiness, and close high-impact gaps between Gov and commercial
• Raise the operational bar for GovCloud through better monitoring, alerting, documentation, and incident readiness, with a focus on reducing toil and improving long-term maintainability
• Serve as a technical leader for FedOps by mentoring engineers, guiding implementation quality, and helping the team adopt AI-assisted workflows that speed up delivery and onboarding

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience operating public cloud environments, with deep hands-on AWS expertise
• Strong, production-grade Terraform experience. Comfortable building and debugging IaC modules from scratch, not just using existing configurations
• Experience deploying and managing Kubernetes workloads in production
• Experience working in or building toward compliance-constrained environments (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar)
• Comfort reading and writing Python, Go, or similar scripting languages. You don't need to ship full applications, but should be able to read, adapt, and write infrastructure automation scripts
• Demonstrated AI-forward mindset. Active use of AI in engineering workflows beyond as a coding assistant
• US Citizenship or Permanent Resident status (required for FedRAMP environment access)
• Direct FedRAMP Moderate or High implementation experience
• Experience building developer enablement infrastructure: cloud code integration, local agent setup, or CI/CD pipelines
• Experience using AI/LLM tooling in production engineering contexts
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or equivalent)
