Its centralized 1EXIGER.AI platform allows organizations to manage their entire operating network, from parts to suppliers, regulators, and customers, through an autonomous agentic workforce that learns, adapts, and augments with every decision. The AI-native platform, combined with the largest supply chain knowledge asset, empowers 550+ global customers, including 150 Fortune 500 and 80+ government and defense industrial organizations, to act first. Exiger is FedRAMP® authorized and a 2x Leader in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supplier Risk Management.\nLocation: U.S. (Hybrid)\nWork Environment: Hybrid / Remote, with travel to customer sites as engagements require\nAbout Exiger\nExiger is transforming how governments and global enterprises manage supply chain, risk, and compliance. Our flagship AI platform, 1Exiger, unifies supplier, product, part, component, and risk data into a single platform spanning Supply Chain, Risk & Compliance, and Software Supply Chain Security. Exiger serves more than 60 federal agencies and 150 Fortune 500 companies, is FedRAMP Authorized, and was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supplier Risk Management Solutions.\nExiger's EGS Delivery organization partners directly with U.S. federal agencies to deploy AI-driven supply chain, risk, and mission-intelligence capabilities. Our engineering team is centralized: we build reusable solutions once and replicate them across the federal programs we serve, working directly with the mission owners and program leadership who depend on them. Engineers here stay customer-facing while building for a portfolio, not a single program.\nAbout the Role\nWe are hiring a Platform Engineer to build and operate the cloud substrate our federal programs run on: the AWS and GovCloud account patterns, Kubernetes platform, Terraform module library, CI/CD paved roads, observability stack, and cost posture that new programs adopt on day one instead of rebuilding. Your work ships to multiple programs, and the leverage of the role is exactly that: a boundary pattern or golden-path template you harden once removes weeks of work and audit risk from every program that follows.\nYou will support the program teams that consume your platform and sit in customer-context conversations about cloud posture and ATO progress across engagements. This role is also the catalog destination for Security / DevSecOps-leaning reqs; when security on the platform-security seam is the primary signal, the loop adds a Domain Deep-Dive on ATO, threat modeling, and CI/CD security gates.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and maintain the reference cloud substrate: account structure, networking, and identity perimeter patterns that default to FedRAMP-aligned from day one and replicate across programs.\nBuild and own the shared Terraform module library as a product: versioned, documented, consumed confidently by program engineers you don't sit next to.\nOperate the Kubernetes platform patterns programs adopt: cluster design, RBAC, network policies, autoscaling, upgrade strategy.\nBuild the CI/CD paved road (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or AWS-native) with security gates built in, so program teams deploy self-service without reinventing the pipeline.\nBuild observability patterns that travel: the dashboards, alerting, and SLO scaffolding a new program inherits rather than assembles.\nOwn cloud cost across the portfolio: forecast it, govern it, and surface it to delivery leadership before it becomes a surprise.\nSupport program teams adopting the substrate, and harden the patterns based on what their deployments teach you.\nSit in customer-context conversations about cloud posture and ATO progress, representing the platform across programs.\nCarry on-call for the shared platform surface you own.\nWhat You Need\n5+ years of production cloud engineering experience on AWS, with deep familiarity across IAM, VPC, EKS, S3, KMS, and CloudTrail.\nHands-on experience operating inside a FedRAMP boundary (Moderate or High), not just compliance-flavored commercial AWS.\nStrong Terraform skills, including module authorship that other engineers depend on without you in the room.\nProduction Kubernetes / EKS experience: cluster upgrades, RBAC design, network policy, autoscaling.\nCI/CD pipeline ownership at production scale, including security gates (image scanning, dependency scanning, IaC policy).\nProduction observability ownership at meaningful scale.\nExperience building for reuse: platforms, modules, or paved-road tooling consumed by teams beyond your own.\nFamiliarity with cloud cost management at scale (reserved instances, savings plans, chargeback / showback).\nStrong customer-facing posture: comfortable in customer-context conversations about cloud and ATO posture.\nAbility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.\nNice to Have\nAWS Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional certification.\nDirect GovCloud (US) production experience, particularly across the commercial-to-GovCloud boundary.\nExperience contributing platform-side evidence to a FedRAMP authorization end-to-end.\nExperience with internal developer platform (IDP) patterns (Backstage, paved-road tooling, golden-path templates).\nDirect background in security engineering or DevSecOps (security-heavy reqs route through this role).\nFamiliarity with chaos engineering or fault injection tooling (AWS FIS, Gremlin).\nFinOps Certified Practitioner or equivalent practical FinOps experience.\nExperience operating in IL5, IL6, or JWICS environments.\nClearance Requirements\nActive U.S. Government security clearance preferred (Secret minimum for most engagements; TS or TS/SCI required for a subset). Candidates without an active clearance must be able to obtain one. Clearance level will be confirmed at offer.\nWhy You'll Love Working at Exiger\nHigh-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.\nDiscretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off.\nIndustry leading health, vision, and dental benefits.\nCompetitive compensation package.\n16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.\nFlexible, hybrid approach to working from home and in the office where applicable.\nFocus on wellness and employee health through stipends and dedicated wellness programming.\nPurposeful career development programs with reimbursement provided for educational certifications.\nExiger is an equal opportunity employer.
