Responsibilities

Position Description:
As the tech lead you will be responsible for code/design reviews, sprint prioritization, unblocking engineers, and mentoring the team alongside hands-on work to build and maintain the infrastructure powering our edge computing environments. This role focuses on deploying, automating, and scaling distributed infrastructure at remote edge locations, ensuring reliable performance close to end users and devices.
This position will lead a platform engineering team at the forefront of prototyping infrastructure designs to support the next generation of cyber network operations. In this role, you will contribute to engineering leadership and systems design of elegant solutions to pressing operational challenges. You will contribute to developing a platform that simplifies complex infrastructure management across cloud-native and on-premises environments. The role presents unique opportunities, such as regular customer interaction to iterate, streamline, and multiply platform capabilities to meet customer objectives of broad deployment and exceptional flexibility.
Automate edge provisioning and configuration using tools like Ansible, Terraform, or custom deployment pipelines.
Develop scripts and automation tools to enhance system management, provisioning, and deployment tasks.
Implement monitoring and observability for distributed edge clusters to ensure uptime, performance, and security.
Monitor system performance and capacity metrics; analyze logs and trends to anticipate and resolve system issues proactively.
Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term remediation efforts for complex system or infrastructure issues.
Work with developers to optimize workloads for deployment at edge locations (e.g., containerized applications, AI/ML inference).
Build CI/CD pipelines for remote software updates and over-the-air deployments to edge nodes.
Ensure infrastructure resilience and redundancy, including failover and disaster recovery at edge sites.
Optimize resource usage to handle power, cooling, and bandwidth constraints common in edge environments.
