## Job description

Who We Are:

Exiger is the AI partner for supply chain and procurement automation. Its centralized [1EXIGER.AI](http://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.

Location: U.S. (Hybrid) Work Environment: Hybrid / Remote, with travel to customer sites as engagements require

## About Exiger

Exiger 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.

Exiger'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.

## About the Role

We 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.

You 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.

## What You'll Do

- Design 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.
- Build and own the shared Terraform module library as a product: versioned, documented, consumed confidently by program engineers you don't sit next to.
- Operate the Kubernetes platform patterns programs adopt: cluster design, RBAC, network policies, autoscaling, upgrade strategy.
- Build 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.
- Build observability patterns that travel: the dashboards, alerting, and SLO scaffolding a new program inherits rather than assembles.
- Own cloud cost across the portfolio: forecast it, govern it, and surface it to delivery leadership before it becomes a surprise.
- Support program teams adopting the substrate, and harden the patterns based on what their deployments teach you.
- Sit in customer-context conversations about cloud posture and ATO progress, representing the platform across programs.
- Carry on-call for the shared platform surface you own.

## What You Need

- 5+ years of production cloud engineering experience on AWS, with deep familiarity across IAM, VPC, EKS, S3, KMS, and CloudTrail.
- Hands-on experience operating inside a FedRAMP boundary (Moderate or High), not just compliance-flavored commercial AWS.
- Strong Terraform skills, including module authorship that other engineers depend on without you in the room.
- Production Kubernetes / EKS experience: cluster upgrades, RBAC design, network policy, autoscaling.
- CI/CD pipeline ownership at production scale, including security gates (image scanning, dependency scanning, IaC policy).
- Production observability ownership at meaningful scale.
- Experience building for reuse: platforms, modules, or paved-road tooling consumed by teams beyond your own.
- Familiarity with cloud cost management at scale (reserved instances, savings plans, chargeback / showback).
- Strong customer-facing posture: comfortable in customer-context conversations about cloud and ATO posture.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.

## Nice to Have

- AWS Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional certification.
- Direct GovCloud (US) production experience, particularly across the commercial-to-GovCloud boundary.
- Experience contributing platform-side evidence to a FedRAMP authorization end-to-end.
- Experience with internal developer platform (IDP) patterns (Backstage, paved-road tooling, golden-path templates).
- Direct background in security engineering or DevSecOps (security-heavy reqs route through this role).
- Familiarity with chaos engineering or fault injection tooling (AWS FIS, Gremlin).
- FinOps Certified Practitioner or equivalent practical FinOps experience.
- Experience operating in IL5, IL6, or JWICS environments.

Clearance Requirements

Active 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.

## Why You'll Love Working at Exiger

- High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
- Discretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off.
- Industry leading health, vision, and dental benefits.
- Competitive compensation package.
- 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.

- Focus on wellness and employee health through stipends and dedicated wellness programming.
- Purposeful career development programs with reimbursement provided for educational certifications.
