The Role- Secure Cloud Infrastructure
- Operate and improve Lastwall's FedRAMP-aligned infrastructure across AWS GovCloud and related environments. Build and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable cloud systems that support mission-critical identity services.
- Infrastructure as Code & Automation
- Develop, maintain, and improve infrastructure as code using tools such as AWS CDK and Terraform. Help deepen Lastwall's use of automation to make infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operations repeatable, auditable, and secure.
- Platform Engineering
- Contribute to Lastwall's platform engineering efforts by improving the systems, tooling, and workflows that support product development, testing, deployment, and production operations. Help create rapid feedback loops and strong collaboration between infrastructure and product engineering.
- Reliability, Observability & Operability
- Improve monitoring, logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting across distributed systems. Use tools and practices such as CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and related observability technologies to improve system visibility, operational readiness, and incident response.
- CI/CD & Deployment Tooling
- Enhance and maintain deployment tooling and CI/CD pipelines to support reliable software delivery. Work with tools such as GitLab, CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, Docker, and containerized workloads to improve release quality and development velocity.
- Security & Compliance-Driven Operations
- Apply secure infrastructure practices across networking, access control, secrets management, containerized workloads, system hardening, and operational automation. Support infrastructure practices aligned with FedRAMP, NIST 800-series controls, GovCloud deployments, and FIPS 140-2 expectations.
- Incident Response & Learning from Incidents
- Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, and operational remediation. Help guide the team through Learning From Incidents practices so that reliability, security, and operational maturity improve over time.
- Technical Collaboration
- Work closely with infrastructure, product engineering, security, and compliance stakeholders to evaluate tradeoffs, improve architecture, and deliver infrastructure that meets customer, compliance, and operational needs.
