About the role
- Abnormal AI is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering to help build the Federal Platform layer underpinning our GovCloud environment.
- This is a platform infrastructure role first: you will design and evolve the core infrastructure, deployment foundations, and platform patterns that make GovCloud behave more like a thin extension of our commercial platform, with less drift and stronger operational leverage over time.
- As the first engineer focused on Federal Platform, you will help define the charter for the team, provide mentorship and guidance on platform-oriented topics in the GovCloud environment, and build the paved roads that make Federal Operations and application teams more self-sufficient as we scale the federal business.
Responsibilities
- Lead the build-out and evolution of Abnormal's FedRAMP High cloud infrastructure, translating security and compliance requirements into reliable, auditable AWS implementations for the GovCloud environment.
- Design and maintain reusable Terraform modules, infrastructure patterns, and platform standards that make Gov changes safer, more repeatable, and easier for FedOps engineers to operate.
- Drive sound architectural decisions across compute, networking, and service design, balancing compliance, operational simplicity, and parity with commercial where it delivers the most value.
- Partner closely with FedRAMP, compliance, and other engineering teams to reduce environment drift, improve deployment readiness, and close high-impact gaps between Gov and commercial.
- Strong, production-grade Terraform experience. Comfortable building and debugging IaC modules from scratch, not just using existing configurations
- Experience working in or building toward compliance-constrained environments (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar)
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience operating public cloud environments, with deep hands-on AWS expertise
- US Citizenship or Permanent Resident status (required for FedRAMP environment access)
