U.S. Citizenship Required
We’re looking for a Lead Platform Engineer to be the technical lead for our largest, most cross-cutting platform programs. This is work that spans multiple engineering teams, has many stakeholders, and carries real security, compliance, and reliability risk across commercial AWS and our FedRAMP-authorized environments in AWS GovCloud.
The strongest candidates are excellent technical leaders who are also great to work with. At this level, your impact comes as much from sound judgment, clear communication, and the trust of other teams as from deep AWS and Kubernetes expertise. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. You’ll lead through technical judgment and by making the engineers around you better.
What You’ll Do
- Lead large, cross-team platform programs such as multi-region EKS, GovCloud platform expansion, or a re-architecture of the IaC framework, from design through delivery.
- Make and own architecture decisions across compute, network topology, identity, account structure, and delivery, and document the tradeoffs clearly.
- Reduce complexity across platform services and processes by consolidating one-off patterns, retiring what’s no longer needed, and helping teams do more with less.
- Design enterprise IaC frameworks and multi-region CI/CD with approval gates, automated rollback, and policy enforcement.
- Architect guardrails and developer tooling so that every engineer can work safely in FedRAMP and GovCloud environments.
- Design DR, capacity, and resilience strategies with explicit RTO/RPO targets, and
[…]
our platform.
As Lead Platform Engineer, you’ll decide how simple, safe, and fast that path is for every engineering team. The architecture calls you make, the complexity you remove, and the engineers you grow will compound across the whole organization and give Exiger the foundation it needs to serve customers in highly regulated federal environments.
Why You’ll Love Working at Exiger
- High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
- Discretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off
- Industry leading health, vision, and dental benefits
- Competitive compensation package
- 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
- Flexible, hybrid approach to working from home and in the office where applicable
- Focus on wellness and employee health through stipends and dedicated wellness programming
- Purposeful career development programs with reimbursement provided for educational certifications
