The Role
s enterprise data enclaves and Generative AI applications become mission-critical to national security and public sector modernization, maintaining the reliability and operational integrity of the underlying platform is paramount.

Sitting at the vital intersection of core infrastructure operations and active platform reliability, this team serves as the ultimate technical authority for our platform across GovCloud, FedRAMP High, and air-gapped environments.
In this role, you will move beyond basic ticket resolution to handle the hardest technical escalations across our platform domains—including Compute, Networking, Storage, IAM, and OS internals. You will partner directly with Core Engineering, conduct deep live troubleshooting, safely execute automation tools, and isolate complex system boundary blocks inside secure enclaves. If you are a systems specialist who thrives under pressure, enjoys writing custom tooling to unblock platform bottlenecks, and wants to safeguard the infrastructure powering next-generation federal AI workloads, this opportunity provides unmatched scope and impact.
