  • Oversee day-to-day platform management in a remote capacity, ensuring high availability, disaster recovery, and optimal performance of mission-critical systems.
  • Establish and enforce rigorous platform governance, change management policies, and configuration management controls.
  • Drive automation initiatives across environment provisioning, deployments, and monitoring to enhance operational efficiency.
• Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact (POC) for stakeholders, including DoW program managers, contracting officers, and partner teaming representatives.
  • Mentor, guide, and collaborate with a distributed, multidisciplinary team of engineers, administrators, and developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to manage the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process, maintaining the platform’s Authorization to Operate (ATO).

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of enterprise-level cloud platforms, with hands-on experience in AWS (including AWS GovCloud).
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple environments (development, test, staging, production) in direct support of application development teams.
• Strong familiarity with modern deployment methodologies, including CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Experience designing, operating, and securing platforms across DoW cyber security environments, including IL4 and IL5, in alignment with RMF and ATO requirements.
• Experience with low-code development platforms is required; experience with OutSystems is highly preferred.
• Active DoW 8570/8140 IAT Level II or III certification (e.g., Security+ CE, CISSP) or equivalent platform/architecture certifications.
