We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer to join our team of 8 engineers. You will work across the full stack — building features, fixing bugs, and shipping product alongside the rest of the team.
Your immediate priority will be owning our cloud infrastructure, security posture, and compliance work, including getting us through FedRAMP and IL5 authorization. This is not a siloed DevOps role — it is a product engineering role where infrastructure and security are the current focus.
This role will start as an individual contributor with end-to-end ownership. Team growth will be driven by results and business needs, not assumed on day one.
End-to-end feature development across the Govly platform
All DevOps for our commercial and government cloud environments, including cost optimization, performance tuning, potential service migrations, and moving toward infrastructure-as-code
Our CMMC enclave for commercial customers handling CUI
CVE monitoring and patching across all Govly repositories
Database performance optimization and reporting
Reliable, obfuscated data pipelines from production to staging to development environments
Compliant data flow from our commercial environment to our government environment
Compliance framework management, including documentation and process (e.g., SOC 2 via Vanta)
Ad hoc compliance questions and customer security questionnaires
Use a deep understanding of the problems our customers face to build software that people love
Drive end-to-end implementations of features: design data models, build APIs, implement frontend components, write tests
Build and manage secure AWS infrastructure across commercial and government environments
Move from managed Kubernetes configs toward proper IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
Lead FedRAMP authorization end-to-end — architecture, documentation, control implementation, continuous monitoring
Monitor CVEs and ensure all dependencies and infrastructure are patched and up to date
Build and maintain reliable prod-to-staging-to-dev data dumps with proper obfuscation
Design and implement compliant data transfer between commercial and government environments
Improve database performance, query optimization, and reporting infrastructure
Getting things done quickly and utilizing Claude Code and MCPs to augment your workflow
Writing code across the stack — Ruby/Rails, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch
Building and securing cloud environments on AWS
Database administration, performance tuning, and query optimization
Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipeline design
Context-switching between product work and infrastructure
Strong product engineering background — you have shipped features, not just managed infrastructure
Comfortable working across the stack, whether it is building APIs in Rails, writing SQL, or driving out user-facing features in React
Experience building and securing AWS environments with production workloads
Experience with or willingness to own FedRAMP authorization
Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration in production
US citizenship and ability to obtain or maintain a security clearance
Comfort building systems before everything is staffed or tooled
Understanding of DoD IL5 requirements
Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or similar)
Experience with PostgreSQL performance optimization and database management
Experience with compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2)
You have a get-it-done attitude and do not shy away from unglamorous work
You use AI tools like Claude Code to move faster and learn new domains
You are comfortable owning everything from shipping features to compliance paperwork to database performance
You are interested in and excited about staying at the forefront of AI
