Infrastructure Lead

Infrastructure Lead-Remote

Why you want to work at Flexion:

We’re looking for a Lead with an unwavering passion for building reliable, secure infrastructure. Most of the work we do is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)—this project in particular will help ensure the uninterrupted, secure, and compliant operation of critical federal acquisition and assistance systems.

At Flexion (an agile software company that’s been delivering excellence for over 25 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain self-sufficient and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems through collaboration—this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles as needed. Every member of a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team’s success, mirroring the company’s overall low-bureaucracy structure.

We believe that growth comes from working together, and that includes supporting each other through thoughtful, constructive feedback. Flexion team members are expected to help each other grow, challenge ideas respectfully, and integrate feedback as a normal part of the workday.

What the job looks like:

You’ll be part of a delivery team responsible for technical leadership and architectural oversight of the cloud infrastructure behind the platform.

• Provide technical leadership and architectural oversight for the cloud infrastructure, ensuring stability, scalability, security, and alignment with federal requirements and organizational objectives.
• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure, networking, environments, and deployment pipelines across multiple environments, following best practices and governance standards.
• Lead the use of infrastructure-as-code and automation so environments are repeatable, version-controlled, and auditable.
• Mentor and coach engineering teams, fostering technical growth, knowledge sharing, and engineering excellence.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, security staff, and stakeholders to translate business and compliance requirements into infrastructure solutions.
• Guide the team through complex infrastructure challenges, incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis to ensure timely resolution.
• Oversee quality through design reviews, change reviews, and adherence to standards and secure configuration practices.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to modernize infrastructure, improve deployment processes, and reduce operational toil and cost.
• Coordinate technical execution across cross-functional teams to manage dependencies, risks, and delivery priorities.
• Ensure the reliability, performance, security, and recoverability of the platform, including monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery.

Why we want to hire you:

You can deliver in small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive (instead of viewing it as “rework”) and never consider anything you deliver “final.” Although you understand that what you deliver may not be complete, you never knowingly deliver something that is wrong or of poor quality. You actively contribute to a learning team culture, offering and receiving feedback with curiosity and respect.

You have:

• A bachelor’s degree or commensurate experience
• 8+ years of infrastructure, leadership, and architecture experience in enterprise environments
• Passion for learning new technologies and the ability to do so quickly
• Ability to write high-quality code, scripts, and automation efficiently
• Agile Development and Mindset
• Hands-on experience with AWS, including EC2, VPC networking, IAM, and storage
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, such as Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
• Strong Linux systems administration and shell scripting skills
• Experience with monitoring and alerting, backup and disaster recovery, and security hardening in regulated or federal environments
• Familiarity with hosting and supporting SQL and NoSQL databases

At Flexion, we live by these principles:

• Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
• Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
• Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
• Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
• Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
• Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
• Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
• Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
• Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
• Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
• Offer and welcome constructive feedback as a tool for continuous team and individual growth
• Embrace AI assistants (e.g., OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex) as force multipliers to accelerate innovation, iterate faster, and maintain high-quality output.
