  • Documenting, sharing, and evangelizing platform standards and practices

What would set you up for success:

  • 8+ years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering roles
  • Deep expertise with Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code tooling like Terraform
  • Strong software engineering skills, ideally in Go or Python
  • Experience building CI/CD systems and improving developer workflows
  • Clear understanding of cloud networking, service mesh, and zero-trust design patterns
  • Hands-on experience with observability tools and setting SLOs (e.g., Datadog)
  • Ability to lead architectural design and cross-team technical projects
  • Track record of mentoring senior engineers and influencing infrastructure maturity

What would set you apart:

  • Experience implementing and maintaining compliance controls in a cloud-native environment
  • Contributions to an open-source platform or SRE tooling
  • Experience building shared internal developer platforms as products

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
