I'm Angelo Pace, Senior Manager, Platform at Teamworks. Our Platform Engineering team owns the infrastructure that keeps elite sports organizations running, and we're expanding that foundation into high-performance tactical environments. I'm looking for a Platform Engineer II to support day-to-day operations of our AWS GovCloud infrastructure and help us drive meaningful improvements to observability and stability as we grow.

This is a collaborative, hands-on role. You'll work alongside a platform team that serves application teams across the organization, and the best work you'll do here is the kind that makes those teams' lives measurably easier.

The Role
  • Own day-to-day operations and maintenance of our AWS GovCloud environment, including EKS cluster management, EC2, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, S3, and IAM

  • Manage deployments of new features and fixes across commercial and GovCloud environments, coordinating with application teams through structured intake and ad hoc request processes

  • Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipeline templates (GitLab CI) that enforce organizational standards for scalability, compliance, and observability

  • Diagnose cross-cutting infrastructure issues — networking misconfigurations, IAM permission boundaries, Kubernetes scheduling failures — evaluating blast radius and downstream impact before proposing solutions

  • Partner with application teams to translate platform changes and new standards into clear, actionable guidance that reduces friction across the organization

  • Drive improvements to environment observability and stability using Datadog, and participate in on-call rotation with full production ownership

What I'm Looking ForWhat You Must Bring
  • 3+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering

  • Strong proficiency in Linux administration in production environments, including RHEL-based system management

  • Proven hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS preferred), Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or comparable tooling

  • Experience deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS

  • Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

Even Better If
  • You have experience working in AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, or IL4-regulated environments

  • You have a background in defense contracting or government environments

  • You have experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, AWX, and Packer)

  • You're familiar with Python or shell scripting for operational tooling, or have experience with Datadog or a comparable observability platform

Why This Role

Platform Engineering at Teamworks sits at the foundation of everything we build and operate, and this team is expanding into one of the most consequential verticals we serve. The person in this role will have real ownership over systems that matter, with a team that values good engineering and clear communication in equal measure.
