Who this role is best for

A natural match if you have experience building and operating AWS GovCloud environments and managing compliance-as-code pipelines.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with experience in FedRAMP compliance and cloud fleet operations at scale
    — “Built or operated inside a FedRAMP Moderate or High boundary”
  • Individuals who have engineered automation for multi-account AWS structures and IaC provisioning
    — “Build and operate AWS GovCloud environments: multi-account structure, guardrails, logging and security tooling, IaC-native provisioning (Terraform)”

Things to consider

  • On-call responsibilities are expected, and recurring incidents must be resolved through engineering solutions
    — “Participate in on-call for the GovCloud estate, with the explicit expectation that recurring incident causes get engineered away”
  • The role is limited to US-based candidates due to federal compliance requirements
    — “Location: US-based, remote. This role works inside a FedRAMP boundary; standard US-person requirements for federal environments apply.”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience with compliance-as-code tools like OSCAL or OPA in your resume and interview responses
    — “Compliance-as-code and evidence automation (OSCAL, machine-readable ConMon, AWS Config rules or OPA at scale)”
  • Emphasize your ability to design and execute fleet upgrade orchestration and staged rollouts
    — “Build and run release and update machinery for cloud fleets: mandatory security updates, staged and jittered rollout windows, coordinated installs”
  • Showcase your background in telemetry and data pipeline ownership using OTEL or Grafana-class stacks
    — “Instrument production: telemetry, SLOs, dashboards, and alerting that the team and product engineering actually own and act on”

About the role

Original posting from BeyondTrust via Greenhouse

BeyondTrust is a place where you can bring your purpose to life through the work that you do, creating a safer world through our cybersecurity SaaS portfolio.

Our culture of flexibility, trust, and continual learning means you will be recognized for your growth, and for the impact you make on our success. You will be surrounded by people who challenge, support, and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.

The Role

BeyondTrust is building a new cross-product Site Reliability Engineering team that stands up and runs the AWS GovCloud environments bringing additional BeyondTrust products into our FedRAMP authorization. The team owns the reliability, change control, and continuous-compliance machinery for those environments so that product feature teams can stay focused on product delivery.

This is an engineering team that owns operations, not an operations team. Its product is automation; operations is the input. Every manual procedure performed twice is a candidate for elimination, and the team’s success is measured by the operational work it has made unnecessary, not the tickets it has closed. Hands-on operational work is capped at roughly half of team capacity; the rest goes to engineering the work away.

Our workloads are not purely cloud-native. The estates include appliance-model and single-tenant VM fleets at scale alongside shared services, so fleet upgrade orchestration, golden images, and staged rollouts are core work, not edge cases.

What You’ll Do

Build and operate AWS GovCloud environments: multi-account structure, guardrails, logging and security tooling, IaC-native provisioning (Terraform)

Build and run release and update machinery for cloud fleets: mandatory security updates, staged and jittered rollout windows, coordinated installs, and verification that a patch actually landed everywhere it was scoped to

Build the continuous-compliance evidence pipeline: collection, normalization, and reporting of FedRAMP 20x Key Security Indicators, where evidence is machine-readable, re-verified every few days, and reported monthly

Instrument production: telemetry, SLOs, dashboards, and alerting that the team and product engineering actually own and act on

Consolidate CI/CD: shared pipelines for build, signing, artifact management, quality gates, and security scanning instead of per-team reinvention

Participate in on-call for the GovCloud estate, with the explicit expectation that recurring incident causes get engineered away
