Recruiting for this role ends on 9/1/2026.

Work You'll Do

As a Domain Tech Lead, you will own end-to-end technical delivery within a specific infrastructure domain on a large-scale infrastructure engineering engagement, with a focus on automating the patching lifecycle of multiple infrastructure areas. This is an engineering execution role - you are responsible for delivery outcomes within your domain, not just coordination across them.

Our practitioners work collaboratively within integrated, cross-functional teams. You will provide hands-on technical design guidance to your engineering team, drive sprint-level delivery, and coordinate with adjacent infrastructure and engineering domains. You will be expected to solve architecture and integration problems that your engineers bring to you, and to surface domain-level risk before it becomes a program-level issue. Domain openings are available across: Database (Oracle, SQL, MongoDB, Redis, Postgres), Middleware, Cloud (AWS/Azure), Network, End User Compute, and Mainframe.

Specific responsibilities include:

        Own the creation and execution of a technical execution plan for your domain - maintaining delivery commitments and proactively surfacing risks

        Provide hands-on technical design guidance to unblock infrastructure automation engineering: architecture decisions, integration patterns, implementation approaches

        Lead detailed design and drive execution of infrastructure test harnesses, infrastructure automation engineering, and deployment capabilities within your domain

        Lead technical decisions within your domain, ensuring solutions are standardized and production-scalable

        Drive PI planning, backlog prioritization, and sprint-level adjustments with engineering throughput as the primary success metric

        Coordinate with the Testing Platform team on infrastructure onboarding, test suite migration, and CI/CD pipeline integration

        Manage cross-domain dependencies and represent your domain's delivery status to program leadership and client stakeholders

        Develop junior team members through direct coaching, design reviews, and structured feedback

Qualifications

Required

        7+ years of relevant consulting or industry experience, with proven ability to engage senior technical stakeholders

        Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering or related discipline.

        Experience managing or contributing to moderate-sized engagements (4-8 team members)

        Deep domain expertise in at least one of the following: relational/NoSQL databases, middleware, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), network infrastructure, end user compute, or mainframe (IBM z/OS)

        Proven track record delivering automation engineering or test infrastructure at scale

        Experience leading small-to-mid-size engineering teams in a technical capacity

        Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks; ability to review and guide automation code

        Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present domain status and risk clearly to non-technical audiences

        Ability to travel up to 50% of the time, based on the work you do and the clients/industry sectors you serve.

        Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future.

Preferred

        Domain-specific certifications relevant to your target domain (e.g., Oracle DBA, AWS Solutions Architect, CCNP, IBM Mainframe)

        Experience with vulnerability management tooling, CWPP platforms (e.g., Wiz), or ITSM-integrated patching workflows

        Prior experience in financial services, healthcare, or other highly regulated industries in the commercial sector

        Familiarity with orchestration tooling (e.g., ServiceNow, Tines, Remedy, or comparable platforms)

        Prior consulting or client-facing delivery experience preferred

        Familiarity with Agile/SAFe delivery methodology
