Whether you're a creative thinker, a strategic planner, a tech wizard, or a customer champion, there's a place for you on our team. We believe work should be meaningful and fun - so if you're ready to make a difference while enjoying the journey, come join us and let's Tango. We are looking for a Principal Platform Engineer to join our dynamic and growing Platform Engineering team.

Key Responsibilities: Own platform and cloud architecture Define and evolve Tango's platform architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including networking, compute, storage, and environment strategy. Drive cloud modernization initiatives (migration, re-platforming, standardization of deployment patterns, scalability and resilience improvements). Create reference architectures and guardrails that enable autonomy while improving consistency and operational quality.

Establish reliability and operational excellence Set reliability standards and practices (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, capacity planning, incident response and postmortems). Improve observability and operational readiness (monitoring, alerting, tracing, dashboards, runbooks) to reduce MTTR and recurring incidents. Identify systemic bottlenecks (latency, throughput, resource utilization, toil) and lead cross-team initiatives to address them.

Enable government cloud readiness (FedRAMP) Provide technical leadership for architectures and operational controls needed for FedRAMP / government cloud certification readiness. Partner with Security/Compliance to translate controls into engineering requirements and pragmatic implementation plans. Lead technical reviews for identity, access, auditability, logging, change management, and incident processes in regulated environments.

Raise the bar through standards and mentorship Establish and evangelize best practices: design docs, architecture reviews, coding standards, testing strategy, CI/CD quality gates, production readiness. Mentor senior engineers, tech leads, and emerging technical leaders; coach teams through complex designs and tradeoffs. Create reusable patterns and "golden paths" (templates, libraries, tooling) that make the right way the easy way.

About You: Technical breadth and depth Strong working knowledge across multiple stacks, including Java/J2EE, Oracle, Postgres, and modern frontend frameworks (React and Vue.js). Handson cloud experience across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure, with ability to dive deep on architecture, performance, reliability, and operations. Experience designing and operating distributed systems for B2B SaaS with a strong focus on resiliency, scalability, and cost/performance tradeoffs

Global cloud systems + regulated environments Experience with global cloud systems (multi-region, disaster recovery, high availability, data residency considerations). Experience supporting FedRAMP and/or comparable government cloud certification efforts (e.g., Moderate/High) or operating within similarly regulated environments. Comfort partnering with Security/Compliance while maintaining engineering velocity and strong developer experience

Leadership as a senior IC Proven ability to influence without authority-aligning stakeholders, driving decisions, and building consensus across teams. Excellent written and verbal communication; able to author clear design docs and architectural proposals. A coaching mindset with demonstrated impact mentoring and developing engineers across teams.

Nice to Have Kubernetes and cloud-native operations experience (platform tooling, service meshes, policy-as-code). Experience building internal platforms/shared services (identity/auth, developer tooling, CI/CD platforms). FinOps or cloud cost optimization experience at scale.
