About The Position

Feathr is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect (titled internally as Sr. Platform Engineer) to join our Platform Engineering Team. In this role, you will be a core contributor to the infrastructure powering Feathr's advertising software, helping us build reliable, scalable, and well-automated systems that serve nonprofit clients. You'll work closely with software engineers, DevOps, and cross-functional stakeholders, with ownership over the infrastructure, tooling, and deployment pipelines that keep our platform running. You’ll also play a key role in the security posture of our systems, helping us build and maintain the controls, compliance frameworks, and practices that protect our platform and our clients.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in platform engineering, infrastructure, security engineering, or a similar role, with a track record of building and shipping real code.
• Hands-on experience writing production-grade scripts and automation tooling in Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar, in addition to configuration and deployment work.
• Professional experience with CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance, containerization, and cloud infrastructure. Ideally in an environment where you owned these end-to-end.
• Comfortable working in Linux environments (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, or similar) as a core part of your day-to-day.
• Experience contributing meaningfully to shared codebases, not limited to ops and config work.
• Strong cloud infrastructure experience, particularly with AWS (IAM, networking, security services, CloudFormation), with a solid understanding of how to build and manage systems at scale.
• Deep experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar), building reusable, well-scoped modules and standardizing patterns across environments.
• Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes), including deployment strategies like Blue/Green and maintaining consistent, reproducible environments.
• Strong CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions or similar), designing, building, and maintaining pipelines for continuous integration and smooth software delivery.
• Solid Linux system administration skills across major distributions.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with security architecture, compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO, GovRAMP, or similar), or threat modeling is a strong plus.
• Elasticsearch and SQL experience, particularly for operational reporting and data visibility.
• Experience with Go, Python, or other systems-level languages beyond scripting.
• Hands-on experience with LLM integrations, AI/ML tooling, or building guardrails for non-deterministic systems.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure, networking, and database systems to ensure high availability and performance.
• Build and maintain reusable IaC modules (Terraform, CloudFormation) to standardize and harden architecture across environments.
• Manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, including Blue/Green and other deployment strategies.
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and smooth software deployments.
• Develop and maintain automation tooling and scripts to reduce manual overhead and improve operational efficiency.
• Create and maintain clear documentation of systems, pipelines, and processes to reduce tribal knowledge risk.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions with a focus on scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
• Debug and resolve complex technical issues across infrastructure and application layers.
• Work closely with software engineers and stakeholders to support new feature rollouts and ongoing operations.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to evaluate, integrate, and operationalize AI tooling across the organization.
• Help establish best practices and infrastructure patterns that support AI adoption at scale.
• Work closely with software engineers, DevOps, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and operational support for new features.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to maintain consistent and reproducible development environments.
• Participate in incident response efforts, helping to minimize downtime and ensure quick recovery from system disruptions.
