Summary
What you’ll impact
The Principal Platform Engineer will design, build, and implement scalable, secure infrastructure solutions across AWS, on-premises, and hybrid environments, focusing on CMMC Level 2 compliance and automation. This hands‑on role involves creating reusable IaC modules, leading network and security implementations, and mentoring engineering teams while evaluating new technologies.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Design and implement scalable infrastructure solutions across AWS, on-prem, and hybrid environments
- Build and maintain reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and platform components
- Develop and enforce secure-by-design solutions aligned to CMMC Level 2 and enterprise security requirements
- Partner with Security Architecture and GRC to translate security and compliance requirements into implementable controls
- Lead the implementation of network segmentation, identity integration, logging, and monitoring solutions
- Drive adoption of automation-first practices, including CI/CD pipelines and Policy as Code (PaC)
- Solve complex platform and infrastructure challenges through hands-on engineering and rapid iteration
- Contribute to and refine platform standards, patterns, and reference implementations through working code
- Support and mentor engineering teams on best practices for infrastructure, automation, and platform design
- Evaluate and integrate new technologies (including AI-enabled platforms) with a focus on practical implementation and risk alignment
Requirements
What you’ll bring
- 8+ years in cloud engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles
- Strong hands-on experience designing and building in AWS (multi-account environments preferred)
- Deep experience with Terraform or similar IaC tools
- Strong understanding of networking, identity, and security implementation
- Experience implementing solutions in regulated or compliance-driven environments (CMMC, NIST, etc.)
- Experience building and integrating CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure
- Strong scripting or programming skills (Python, Bash, or similar)
- Proven ability to take solutions from design through implementation and operation
