[Hiring] Governance and Reporting Engineer @Skyward IT Solutions

Role Description

We need a Platform Governance & Reporting Engineer. Do you believe a dashboard should tell a story, not just blink at people? Are you the kind of engineer who automates the report nobody wanted to run by hand, and then quietly saves everyone an afternoon a week? After five years, you know that good governance isn’t red tape, it’s the thing that lets people move fast without breaking the platform. If you like turning raw platform data into decisions, then please apply.

• Help CMS run its enterprise AI platform with the visibility and governance that keep it healthy and trusted.
• Stand up monitoring, metrics, and dashboards (think Datadog and cloud-native tooling) that turn platform health into something the whole team can see.
• Replace manual status-gathering with automated pipelines that produce clean, on-demand governance and performance reporting.
• Define and enforce the guardrails (usage, access, and operational standards) that keep a multi-team platform running smoothly.
• Use infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible) and CI/CD so governance and reporting are built in, not bolted on.
• Collaborate across engineering, security, and CMS stakeholders in a badgeless, one-team culture.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree and 5+ years in DevOps, platform, or systems engineering.
• Solid AWS and DevOps skills: IaC (Terraform, Ansible), CI/CD, and cloud-native monitoring.
• Real experience with observability and reporting tooling (Datadog, CloudWatch, Splunk, or similar).
• Comfort scripting and automating in Python or Bash.

Requirements

• Experience with platform governance or FinOps (cost/usage reporting, showback/chargeback).
• Familiarity with FISMA, RMF, ARS, or IS2P2 governance.
• Previous experience supporting CMS or another federal agency.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision insurance
• 15 days of paid leave
• 7 days of sick leave
• 2 days bereavement leave
• 11 paid Federal holidays
• Up to 40 hours for jury duty
• 401K with 4% employer contribution (and no vesting period)
• Up to 4 weeks of paid paternity and maternity leave
• Company provided laptop
• $5,000 per year for professional development
• $600 per year for technical supplies and equipment
• $2,000 referral bonus
• Life and disability insurance
• HSA and FSA
• Legal Shield and ID Shield Voluntary Benefits
• Opportunity to work in a collaborative, motivated team focused on modernizing government services with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.
• $105,000 - $125,000 a year
• Flexible working hours and remote opportunities to help maintain a healthy work-life balance for all employees.
