    • Harden cloud systems in accordance with DoD STIGs, CIS benchmarks, and DISA cloud computing SRG requirements; support RMF assessment and authorization activities with required artifacts and evidence in support of Authority to Test / Authority to Operate
    • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for all cloud resources; ensure audit logging meets NIST SP 800-53 (AU family) requirements
    • Manage cloud cost optimization, capacity planning, and performance tuning across the hybrid environment
    • Develop and maintain architecture documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures; mentor junior engineers
    • Support requirements definition, design, validation, deployment, and operations of a highly dynamic hybrid/multi-cloud management system with controlled attribution, varying mission sets and security requirements, and both managed and telemetry-driven deployment/destruction

What Required Skills You'll Bring

• • • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related discipline; additional years of relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
    • 8 years of IT infrastructure experience, including 4 years of hands-on cloud engineering
    • Certified Cloud Solutions Architect in one or more primary CSP environments
    • Deep expertise in IaaS and core platform services: virtual machines, virtual networks, storage, security, identity, policy, and RBAC
    • Experience designing and operating hybrid environments, including hybrid identity and connectivity
    • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code and automation
    • Active TS security clearance with SCI eligibility, may require a polygraph

What Desired Skills You'll Bring

• • • Experience with classified cloud regions
    • Experience applying DISA Cloud Computing SRG, FedRAMP, and DoD Impact Level (IL4/IL5/IL6/IL7) requirements
    • Experience supporting RMF authorization packages (eMASS/XACTA) and security assessments in DoD/IC environments
    • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (AKS, Docker) and CI/CD pipelines (DevOps, GitLab)
    • Experience with cloud security automation
    • Experience working in SCIF or air gapped environments and with disconnected/limited-connectivity cloud patterns
