Platform Engineer II

About the role

The Platform Engineering team at Teamworks is expanding into high-performance tactical environments. We are seeking a Platform Engineer II to support day-to-day operations of our AWS GovCloud infrastructure and drive improvements to observability and stability.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day operations and maintenance of our AWS GovCloud environment, including EKS cluster management, EC2, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, S3, and IAM
• Manage deployments of new features and fixes across commercial and GovCloud environments, coordinating with application teams through structured intake and ad hoc request processes
• Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipeline templates (GitLab CI) that enforce organizational standards for scalability, compliance, and observability
• Diagnose cross-cutting infrastructure issues — networking misconfigurations, IAM permission boundaries, Kubernetes scheduling failures — evaluating blast radius and downstream impact before proposing solutions
• Partner with application teams to translate platform changes and new standards into clear, actionable guidance that reduces friction across the organization
• Drive improvements to environment observability and stability using Datadog, and participate in on-call rotation with full production ownership

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering
• Strong proficiency in Linux administration in production environments, including RHEL-based system management
• Proven hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS preferred), Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or comparable tooling
• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

Even Better If You Have

• Experience working in AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, or IL4-regulated environments
• A background in defense contracting or government environments
• Experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, AWX, and Packer)
• Familiarity with Python or shell scripting for operational tooling, or experience with Datadog or a comparable observability platform
