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, establish...
