Jobs Companies C-Serv Team Lead - Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Shift Lead)

About this Team Lead - Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Shift Lead) role at C-Serv

C-Serv · Onsite · Reston, Virginia, United States

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.
