[Hiring] Platform Engineer @HiddenLayer

Role Description

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to take ownership of deploying, managing, and evolving our multi-prem platform architecture across diverse customer environments, from bare-metal data centers to commercial and IL5, IL6, and IL6+ environments. You’ll play a critical role in bridging our continuously deployed SaaS platform with shrink-wrapped customer-hosted releases, ensuring alignment, consistency, and operational excellence across all footprints. This is a deeply technical role that sits at the intersection of infrastructure, networking, Kubernetes, and secure automation, ideal for engineers who thrive in complex, regulated, and hybrid environments.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizen (required) and eligible for U.S. Government clearance (Secret or higher preferred).
• Proven success deploying and operating complex systems across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.
• Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes orchestration, container pipelines, and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD).
• Strong foundation in networking concepts: DNS, routing, VPC design, VPNs, firewalls, and service meshes.
• Proficient with secure CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
• Experience maintaining Linux systems, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenSearch), and automation tooling.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, DoD SRG, or NIST 800-53.

Requirements

• Lead deployment and lifecycle management of our multi-prem platform across commercial cloud, bare-metal, air-gapped, and IL4+ environments.
• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, etc.) to automate consistent deployments across customer sites.
• Ensure our customer-hosted builds (“shrink-wrapped” software) remain closely aligned with our continuously deployed SaaS platform.
• Maintain and optimize Kubernetes clusters and container build pipelines (EKS, K0s, AKS, or on-prem distributions).
• Implement secure and reproducible container image build pipelines, aligned with our internal release processes.
• Collaborate with Engineering teams to harden deployments for regulated, classified, and air-gapped customer systems.
• Document and version deployment patterns, templates, and procedures to support both automation and accreditation workflows.
• Support incident response, troubleshooting, and upgrade cycles across multiple platform footprints.
• Contribute to the overall architecture and evolution of the multi-prem reference design, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security parity with SaaS.

Benefits

• Fully Remote: We are a completely remote global team with a generous stipend for home office setup, annual upgrades, and a monthly stipend for internet/phone expenses.
• Comprehensive Health & Wellness Benefits: Five healthcare options, fully subsidized by HiddenLayer, along with vision, dental, and 401k offerings.
• Flexible Time Off: Unlimited and flexible time off for all salaried employees, in addition to 15 paid company holidays.
• Commitment to Learning and Development: Dedicated L&D fund for training, conferences, certifications, and industry events.
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Commitment to building a diverse team and providing a workplace free of discrimination or harassment.
