The Team

UberEther is a leader in the hyper-secure infrastructure space for Identity and Access Management (IAM), #ZeroTrust, and compliance acceleration. Our platform and expert services team enable government and commercial customers to have ultimate control over access to critical information. We are employee-first, with outstanding benefits and a track record of upskilling and fostering growth. We're looking for employees who get excited about pioneering novel solutions to new, complex challenges.

This role sits within UberEther's Compliance Business Unit, supporting a FedRAMP 20x advisory project built on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). As Senior DevOps Engineer, you will build and operate the CI/CD pipelines, automation, and monitoring that put FedRAMP 20x Key Security Indicator (KSI) requirements into practice, and author the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that keep Ping's platform in continuous compliance long after go-live.

Responsibilities

DevOps Strategy & Continuous Compliance Leadership

• Serve as the principal DevOps authority for implementing FedRAMP 20x KSI requirements into the CI/CD and operations model
• Define and maintain the automation roadmap for operationalizing all the KSIs across the FedRAMP KSI families within the Advantage DevOps toolchain
• Lead design sessions with engineering to determine how each KSI is enforced, tested, and evidenced in the deployment pipeline
• Drive technical decision-making on pipeline gating, automated policy checks, and continuous monitoring instrumentation
• Partner with the Senior Architect and Compliance BU leadership to translate KSI mapping decisions into working DevOps procedures
• Establish DevOps standards and design patterns for KSI enforcement that can be reused across future GCP engagements

DevOps Implementation & Automation

• Own the end-to-end implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automation that enforce FedRAMP 20x KSI requirements across Advantage deployments on Google Cloud Platform
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Deployment Manager) that encodes KSI controls directly into GCP deployments
• Implement automation that continuously collects and packages compliance evidence for each of the KSIs
• Stand up container security scanning, network segmentation enforcement, and secrets management within the CI/CD pipeline
• Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines, Terraform modules, and secure deployment tooling for the environment
• Champion DevSecOps practices, ensuring KSI-aligned security gates are built into every pipeline stage from day one

SOP Development & Continuous Compliance

• Author and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) covering deployment, monitoring, incident response, and KSI verification for the platform
• Lead working sessions with engineering to document repeatable, auditable procedures for maintaining KSI compliance post-authorization
• Produce SOP documentation suitable for assessor review, mapping each procedure back to its corresponding KSI
• Support 3PAO assessments and FedRAMP 20x reviews by walking through operational procedures and evidence pipelines
• Translate compliance requirements into operational runbooks that align with Advantage delivery standards
• Drive continuous improvement of SOPs based on assessor feedback, CR26 verification results, and evolving FedRAMP 20x guidance

Monitoring, Evidence & Compliance Integration

• Work closely with the Compliance Architect and SoC functions to ensure monitoring dashboards and alerting satisfy KSI evidence requirements
• Build automated KSI verification jobs that continuously confirm each of the KSI families remains in a compliant state
• Maintain remediation runbooks and system hardening procedures specific to the GCP-hosted environment
• Support 3PAO assessments and audits by producing and explaining automated evidence packages tied to each KSI
• Implement Policy as Code and machine readable/OSCAL-based evidence generation across the CI/CD pipeline
• Ensure proper integration between GCP-native security tooling, pipeline automation, and UberEther's compliance evidence model

Cross-Team Collaboration & Mentorship

• Foster technical collaboration between UberEther's Compliance BU, Platform Engineering, and customer engineering team
• Mentor engineers on DevSecOps practices, GCP automation, and FedRAMP 20x continuous monitoring requirements
• Lead retrospectives focused on improving pipeline reliability and KSI enforcement for future GCP engagements
• Participate in Level 10 (L10) meetings, providing DevOps insight on progress and cross-team dependencies
• Develop training content and SOP walkthroughs to help engineers operate within FedRAMP 20x continuous compliance requirements
• Serve as a technical ambassador for UberEther's DevOps and continuous compliance capabilities with Ping and future GCP customers
