Senior Platform Engineer

Description

The company is a contractor for the U.S. government, and this position requires U.S. citizenship.

You will join the Army team to build and run product-aligned platform capabilities that shape how the company's software is built, tested, and used.

The role owns persistent, always-on environments and integration layers across the platform, covering the fleet management product, the edge management product, and system-level components. These environments support internal dogfooding, UX checks, and customer demos.

Engineers often get pulled into demo setup and environment upkeep, which breaks their focus and slows delivery. This role aims to fix that with reliable, self-service environments and tighter integration, so product teams can spend their time on features and quality.

You sit between platform engineering and product development, making sure the systems can be exercised, validated, and used under real conditions. You advocate for a good customer experience as the person who integrates the product portfolio.

The company delivers secure tooling for continuous software integration and delivery, mainly to federal customers. Its team includes engineers, software developers, and veterans with long experience in federal technology programs.

Responsibilities

• Design and run always-on environments for customer demos, internal use, and stakeholder access
• Set up feature branch and preview environments that let UX work and feedback move quickly
• Keep long-running deployments of the products in use so the team can dogfood them
• Connect core components across fleet management, edge management, the OS, and related services
• Replace local setups with shared, reproducible infrastructure, and help move toward self-service demo and trial environments
• Improve reliability by driving continuous real-world use and validation
• Work with engineering, product, and UX so environments match real user scenarios
• Design, build, and maintain scalable environments for development, testing, and demos
• Own the reliability and usability of shared environments across the team
• Work with software engineers to integrate platform and product components
• Find and close integration gaps across services and infrastructure layers
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code for reproducible environments
• Reduce friction in environment setup and daily use to improve developer experience
• Support product work and stakeholder access through stable, well-understood systems
• Help shape platform and product architecture decisions for environments and integration
• Additional responsibilities may be assigned as the organization's needs change, so you should be able to adapt and take on new work

Requirements

• Preferred: solid experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure-focused software engineering
• Preferred: deep familiarity with Kubernetes and container-based systems

• Preferred: strong grasp of CI/CD, GitOps, and deployment pipelines
