Full Job Description
What You Will Do:
  • Architect and Scale Gobo Framework: Take charge of the evolution of our proprietary, FedRAMP-authorized SaaS platform, moving beyond standard maintenance to high-level platform engineering.
  • Implement Security-as-Code: Shift security left by integrating Policy-as-Code and supply chain security (SBOM) directly into our pipelines.
  • Drive Operational Excellence: Manage complex hybrid cloud environments by implementing advanced observability and Zero Trust Architecture principles.
  • Build the "Secure Path": You won't just secure infrastructure; you will build automated pipelines that make the secure way the easiest way for our development teams.
  • Solve High-Stakes Engineering Challenges: Tackle the unique friction of Top Secret/FedRAMP environments, ensuring high availability and performance without sacrificing compliance.

Who You Are:
  • You are a US citizen or Green Card holder willing and able to be cleared to the Top Secret level.
  • You are the engineer who identifies manual, error-prone bottlenecks and insists on automating them.
  • You thrive at the intersection of strict security compliance (e.g., FedRAMP) and rapid development velocity.
  • You are not just a user of tools, but a builder who understands the trade-offs in cloud architecture.
  • You possess deep expertise in Linux, Kubernetes, and IaC (Terraform), and you view security as code.
  • You are a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys direct interaction with clients to solve complex infrastructure challenges.

Required Technical Expertise:
  • Linux
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Python
  • Terraform
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions

Additional preference is given for the following:
  • Python development experience beyond scripting
  • Experience developing applications for cloud-based platforms, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure
  • Experience with security compliance programs such as FedRAMP, PCI, or HIPAA
  • Knowledge of networking and security concepts and technologies
  • Familiarity with enterprise management and performance engineering concepts
  • An undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or related field
