## Description

You'll own the backend systems behind Epic's CI/CD and build tooling and the cloud infrastructure they run on. These systems carry code from commit to production for teams across Epic, so they need to be fast, reliable and secure. Your primary focus is software supply chain security: securing the pipelines, runners and artifact stores that build and ship our software, working closely with our security and governance teams. This is a hands-on technical lead role. You'll spend most of your time building and running systems yourself, while helping set the team's technical direction, architecture and goals. Epic is an agentic-engineering-first company. You'll be expected to use Al coding tools and agents as a normal part of how you work, and help shape how we apply them to our own infrastructure.
In this role, you will

 * Design, build and operate the backend infrastructure for our CI/CD and artifact platforms on AWS and Google Cloud Platform
 * Lead software supply chain security work, including vulnerability scanning, artifact signing and provenance, and hardening of build runners and agents
 * Partner with security and governance teams on controls, audits and compliance requirements, and turn them into practical changes to tools and pipelines
 * Help set technical direction for the platform: weigh in on design, priorities and longer-term goals, and document the decisions
 * Guide and review the work of a team of contractors, setting clear tasks and standards and keeping the work moving
 * Automate wherever possible, with infrastructure as code, self-service tooling and workflows that reduce manual work
 * Improve the reliability, scale and observability of the build platform, troubleshoot hard production issues, and take part in incident response
 * Use AI coding tools and agentic workflows in your own work, and help apply them to how the team builds and runs its systems
