About Exiger
Exiger is transforming how governments and global enterprises manage supply chain, risk, and compliance. Our flagship AI platform, 1Exiger, unifies supplier, product, part, component, and risk data into a single platform spanning Supply Chain, Risk & Compliance, and Software Supply Chain Security. Exiger serves more than 60 federal agencies and 150 Fortune 500 companies, is FedRAMP Authorized, and was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supplier Risk Management Solutions.
Exiger's EGS Delivery organization partners directly with U.S. federal agencies to deploy AI-driven supply chain, risk, and mission-intelligence capabilities. Our engineering team is centralized: we build reusable solutions once and replicate them across the federal programs we serve, working directly with the mission owners and program leadership who depend on them. Engineers here stay customer-facing while building for a portfolio, not a single program.
About the Role
We are hiring a Platform Engineer to build and operate the cloud substrate our federal programs run on: the AWS and GovCloud account patterns, Kubernetes platform, Terraform module library, CI/CD paved roads, observability stack, and cost posture that new programs adopt on day one instead of rebuilding. Your work ships to multiple programs, and the leverage of the role is exactly that: a boundary pattern or golden-path template you harden once removes weeks of work and audit risk from every program that follows.
You will support the program teams that consume your platform and sit in customer-context conversations about cloud posture and ATO progress across engagements. This role is also the catalog destination for Security / DevSecOps-leaning reqs; when security on the platform-security seam is the primary signal, the loop adds a Domain Deep-Dive on ATO, threat modeling, and CI/CD security gates.
What You'll Do
- Design and maintain the reference cloud substrate: account structure, networking, and identity perimeter patterns that default to FedRAMP-aligned from day one and replicate across programs.
