**Location:** San Jose, United States

## Description

**24/7 FedRAMP Cloud Platform · Overnight & Weekend Coverage**

**KEY REQUIREMENT**

This role requires US citizenship and residence on US soil. It sits within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment, so FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are non-negotiable, not preferred.

_Own the night. Lead the response. Keep a FedRAMP platform running when it matters most._

Our client runs a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised distributed cloud platform that can't go dark, not overnight, not on a holiday weekend, not ever. They need someone who can stand on the glass, call the shots when something breaks at 2am, and own the outcome. That's this role.

**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**

·       **The floor during your shift.** Two engineers on glass, you're the senior voice when an incident escalates.

·       **Triage and technical direction.** Across multi-cluster AWS/GovCloud and Amazon EKS infrastructure when things go sideways.

·       **FedRAMP compliance in the moment.** CVE remediation SLAs, DISA STIG hardening, access control, all under your watch.

·       **The handover.** Every shift ends with the next team knowing exactly where things stand.

·       **Mentoring the SRE IIs on shift with you.** You set the standard for how incidents get handled.

## Requirements

**WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU**

·       **5–8+ years** in SRE, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure, with real incident command experience, not just a title.

·       **Deep, hands-on Kubernetes/EKS and AWS.** GovCloud experience a strong plus.

·       **Comfortable being the senior voice on a bridge.** Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, Elasticsearch, GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, all second nature.

·       **Working knowledge of FedRAMP/NIST SP 800-53 controls.** You don't need to have led an audit, but you know what “in scope” means.

·       **US citizenship and US-soil residency,** with flexibility for overnight or weekend shift coverage.

## Benefits

**WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US**

·       **A defined engagement.** Mid-September through end of March, no ambiguity about what you're signing up for.

·       **Competitive contract hourly rate.** $95–$115/hr W2, inclusive of overnight/weekend shift premium, DOE.

·       **Real leadership recognition.** A team that treats shift-lead as a real leadership role, not just “more senior on paper.”

·       **C-Serv behind you.** A delivery partner that actually answers the phone.
