About the role

Staff Production Engineer focused on secure, compliant cloud operations across multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) with ownership of the sovereign layer for highly regulated environments, incident response, and automation.

Responsibilities

  • Design, automate, and operate the IAM, account/subscription, and project lifecycle across AWS, Azure, and GCP, enforcing least-privilege and standardized access patterns at scale.
  • Review, implement, and continuously improve cloud identity and access policies (IAM, Okta, Opal) to align with security standards and audit requirements.
  • Build and maintain reliable, observable automation and tooling to apply cloud changes safely and repeatedly.
  • Treat operational and security issues as software problems: eliminate toil, drive root-cause analysis, and codify fixes into infrastructure and tooling.
  • Own and improve security and audit logging data pipelines from cloud providers into internal systems for detection, investigations, and audits.
  • Partner with Security, Compliance, and Audit teams to provide evidence, clarifications, and policy updates.
  • Operate and improve specialized, highly regulated environments (e.g., FedRAMP / GovCloud) including release management, patching cadences, and secure access workflows (e.g., SAW).
  • Ensure high availability and resiliency for critical security and access infrastructure across these environments.
  • Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation for high-severity incidents impacting cloud accounts, IAM, or security data pipelines.
  • Collaborate with product engineering, security engineering, and field teams during incidents to restore service and harden systems.

Qualifications

  • TS/SCI clearance (active) is required.
  • Polygraph is a highly desired plus.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
