About the role
- Lead and grow Gov SRE to operate a secure, reliable, and scalable government environment (people leadership, hiring, coaching, performance, and culture).
- Enforce SLOs/SLIs, incident response, on-call, and change management processes aligned to internal risk thresholds.
- Drive platform stabilization: reduce toil, harden baselines, improve observability, and shrink MTTR through runbooks, automation, and quality guardrails.
- Own safe delivery to the Gov environment: plan and orchestrate releases, change reviews, and rollbacks; improve CI/CD and IaC workflows for repeatable, auditable change.
- Build and prioritize an execution roadmap for Gov v2.0 launch (scale product enablement in Gov, reduce operational drag, and improve deployment lead time without increasing risk).
- Improve cost, performance, and resiliency posture in GovCloud through architecture reviews, reliability testing, capacity planning.
- Report clear metrics, risks, and progress to stakeholders; proactively escalate blockers and propose mitigations.
Requirements
- 7+ years in SRE/Infrastructure/Platform Engineering operating customer-facing services at scale.
- Hands-on leadership in incident management, SLOs/SLIs, observability, and change/release management.
- 2+ years managing SRE/Infra/FedOps teams with on-call ownership, including hands-on leadership in incident management, SLOs/SLIs, observability, and change/release management.
- Practical experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), Kubernetes/containers, Terraform or similar IaC, and modern CI/CD.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration with Security/Compliance, Product & Eng, and GTM; excellent written/runbook documentation and stakeholder communication.
- Track record of automation that reduces toil and improves reliability, auditability, and developer productivity.
- Ability to set clear goals/metrics, manage a prioritized roadmap, and deliver outcomes through the team.
- Depth in incident tooling and telemetry (e.g., metrics, tracing, logging) and alert hygiene.
- Experience operating in AWS GovCloud.
- Hiring and scaling a small team in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.
