About the Civil Aviation Team

We are modernizing America’s air traffic control system on an accelerated timeline, tackling one of the world’s most complex real-time optimization challenges: safely coordinating tens of thousands of daily flights in a dynamic, safety-critical environment. Our team is building next-generation trajectory prediction and decision-support systems while preparing the airspace for emerging technologies like commercial space operations and advanced air mobility. This mission-critical work demands exceptional precision, resilience, and reliability to support the safety and efficiency of the national airspace.

What You Will Do

As a Lead Cloud Platform Engineer for the Civil Aviation team, you will own the architecture, reliability, and evolution of a cloud platform supporting mission-critical aviation systems. You’ll lead a small team while remaining deeply hands-on, building and operating infrastructure that must scale globally, maintain ~99.99% availability, and support safe, continuous delivery in a 24/7 environment.

You will define and drive platform architecture, establishing best practices for infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes-based systems, deployment pipelines, and production operations. You’ll own reliability end-to-end, designing for failure, implementing observability (metrics, logging, tracing), and leading incident response, postmortems, and continuous improvement efforts.

In addition to technical leadership, you will manage and develop a small team of engineers—setting clear direction, establishing high standards, and creating the systems (metrics, processes, feedback loops) that enable teams to operate autonomously while maintaining a strong culture of reliability and ownership.

What We Value

Strong experience building and operating highly reliable cloud platforms (e.g., ~99.99% uptime).

Deep expertise in AWS, with a strong understanding of multi-region and highly available architectures.

Proficiency with Kubernetes and containerized environments, along with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm).

Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that support safe, frequent production releases.

Hands-on experience with progressive delivery techniques (e.g., canary deployments, safe rollback strategies).

Strong understanding of observability and monitoring systems (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus).

Experience leading small teams (1-2+ years) while remaining hands-on.

Ability to own platform architecture end-to-end, from design through production operations.

Proven track record of driving reliability culture and production excellence across teams.

Experience operating and supporting 24/7 production systems.

Strong ability to lead design reviews and make architectural decisions in distributed environments.

Experience with FedRAMP High environments or other regulated cloud systems is a plus.

Exposure to high-availability systems (e.g., “four nines” reliability) is a strong plus.

Proficient in leveraging modern LLM tools to accelerate development workflows and enhance code quality.
