Employer job description
From Second Front Systems's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About Second Front Systems
Second Front is a venture-backed company on a mission to strengthen global security by accelerating access to emerging technologies for the U.S. and our allies. Founded by Marines who saw firsthand how outdated government acquisition systems held back frontline personnel, we help commercial software companies get mission-critical technology into the hands of government users faster — backed by FedRAMP High, DoD IL2–IL6/JWICS, GovRAMP, UK MOD, and NATO authorizations.
Our team is mission-obsessed, collaborative, and decisive, and we’re proud to be Great Place to Work® certified.
About the Role
Second Front Systems is looking for an infrastructure-focused, compliance-minded, operationally disciplined Platform Engineer to strengthen our Platform Engineering function across European regulated environments.
This role sits at the intersection of systems, tooling, and engineering — translating infrastructure reliability and deployment velocity into warfighter-ready software delivery. You’ll be responsible for deploying, operating, and maintaining Game Warden across EMEA cloud environments while establishing secure, repeatable platform patterns that satisfy sovereignty and assurance requirements.
You’ll build landing zones and reference architectures using infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native tooling, keeping European deployments aligned with our global platform patterns while preserving accreditation inheritance across target environments.
We need someone who can operate cloud-native infrastructure at production scale; build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability for regulated and potentially air-gapped environments; and produce the technical evidence and documentation needed to support applicable European security, accreditation, and regulatory requirements.
As a key partner to our implementation and delivery teams, you’ll prepare production environments and hand them off with complete runbooks and technical evidence — serving as the operational bridge between platform architecture and customer deployment.
Work authorization & location:
Candidates must hold citizenship in an EU member state, along with the right to work in the European Union, and be based in the EU (Remote). Unlike some of our other EU-based roles, this position requires citizenship rather than residency alone, given the security clearance and accreditation requirements tied to the systems this role supports. Candidates from any of the 27 EU member states are eligible, and you may be located anywhere in the EU.
Employment type & schedule:
This is a full-time, remote position based in the EU, with compensation stated in EUR.
What You’ll Do
Compensation
Compensation & Benefits
The base salary for this position will fall between €120,000 and €140,000. Your ultimate compensation will be determined by professional background, technical proficiency, seniority, and regional cost factors. This role is also eligible for equity awards and discretionary bonuses as part of a broader total rewards package.
