Job description

Senior Infrastructure Operations - FEDRAMP

Working within a team responsible for all activities associated with designing, deploying, and maintaining the global infrastructure supporting our key services and applications. The infrastructure role includes acting as an escalation point for engineering departments for customer-facing faults. Engineers are tasked with creating, approving, and executing changes associated with both the initial deployment and life-cycle management of all hardware and software, internal and external, deployed on production platforms. A primary responsibility of the team is the configuration, monitoring, and resolution of all platform alarms, as well as providing training for and assessing rotation engineers. Working with other engineering teams and the Project Management team is crucial to the role in order to ensure that customer pipelines are correctly factored into the capacity management of the platforms. As the team supports critical services including emergency services, there is an element of out-of-hours work including weekday overnight and weekend on-call shifts to ensure minimum disruption and best-in-class customer service at all hours. Working with DevOps methodology underpins every aspect of the Infrastructure Operations Engineering role.

There will be an emphasis on supporting Continuous Monitoring (Con-Mon) of the storm FedRAMP infrastructure and clients for the U.S. Federal Government. As such, the successful candidate must be a US citizen.

A successful Engineer recognizes the need for speed in everything that they do, from identifying and resolving alarms through to delivering key project objectives, ensuring that all SLAs are met and that products and features are available for clients on the date promised. They will maintain a keen focus on the goals of the team, which is primarily to ensure service stability and improvement for all clients. In order to achieve both of these aims, they will effectively communicate with other departments to ensure all aspects and perspectives are considered in everything that they undertake.

In order to ensure the continued success of the team, engineers are expected to pass on their knowledge to other engineers, both during formal sessions and on a BAU basis, providing a friendly, approachable interface to maximize the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer and encourage reciprocity. In extension, engineers will seek to assist other engineers and departments where possible and appropriate and will work in such a way as required by the task at hand, being flexible to different approaches and ways of thinking.
