Job Description At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Overview Boeing SIWS Daybreak is hiring a hands‑on engineer to develop and operate mission‑critical infrastructure and automated delivery for our software platform in Kent, WA. This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining repeatable, secure, and observable environments that support our production mission. You will write and test code that provisions infrastructure, pipelines, and deployment artifacts, be directly accountable for their reliability in production, and empower teams by delivering tooling as a service. Core responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK to provision AWS accounts, VPCs, networking, IAM, and other cloud resources in a repeatable and auditable manner. Build, operate, and harden CI/CD pipelines to deploy services and serverless functions into development, staging, and production environments with automated testing and policy enforcement. Assist with review, analysis, and translation of customer requirements into initial design of software products. Containerize applications using Docker and author/maintain Helm charts (or equivalent packaging) for reproducible deployments. Support development, maintenance, enhancement and optimization of software products and functionalities for systems integrations. Implement environment bootstrapping and teardown automation so teams can create consistent, short‑lived test and integration environments. Support development, documentation and maintenance of architectures, requirements, algorithms, interfaces and designs for software products. Deliver and operate internal developer‑facing platforms and tooling as a service (TaaS): self‑service infrastructure, deployment, observability, and security controls that let product teams move faster with confidence. Participate in handling user inquiries, troubleshooting technical issues, and user feedback analysis. Define, collect, and improve delivery and reliability metrics (DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR, change failure rate) and other KPIs; translate metrics into actionable improvements. Integrate security and compliance controls into the delivery pipeline and infrastructure (SAST/SCA/DAST, secrets management, IAM policies, auditing). Support implementation of current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks and changes in regulations relevant to software development. Operate and troubleshoot mission‑critical runtime and deployment issues; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures. Provide developer‑facing support, documentation, training, and graduated access to the TaaS platform to enable teams to build, deliver, and operate systems confidently. Engage directly with end users and stakeholders: gather feedback, present solutions to customers, and iterate on platform features based on real‑world usage and needs. Evaluate and adopt tools, practices, and automation patterns that improve availability, resilience, security, and maintainability of production systems. What success looks like Mission‑critical systems provisioned and deployed reliably through automated pipelines and self‑service platforms. Repeatable and auditable infrastructure lifecycle managed via code and version control. Measurable improvement in delivery performance and system reliability using DORA metrics. Security and compliance checks integrated into CI/CD and infrastructure automation. Clear documentation and reduced time‑to‑resolution for production incidents. Product teams empowered to self‑serve environments and deployments with measurable reductions in lead time and operational friction. Positive feedback from internal users and customers driven by TaaS improvements and direct engagement.
