• Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable AWS infrastructure across multi-account environments.
• Architect and implement shared services and reusable infrastructure patterns that support resources and workloads across multiple AWS accounts.
• Design and implement solutions using Amazon FSx and AWS Systems Manager (SSM).
• Leverage AWS Systems Manager to support patching, configuration management, automation, inventory, and compliance across Windows and Linux environments.
• Establish and maintain consistent software baselines, system configurations, patching standards, and compliance controls across AWS environments.
• Design end-to-end AWS architectures supporting applications, infrastructure services, data platforms, and system integrations.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, or similar technologies.
• Define cloud standards, reference architectures, guardrails, and engineering best practices aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• Design highly available and resilient AWS environments, including backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
• Design and implement security controls incorporating identity and access management, encryption, network segmentation, and least-privilege access.
• Administer and support Windows and Linux systems within AWS, with an emphasis on configuration, patching, security, and compliance.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, systems administration, configuration management, and recurring operational processes.
• Collaborate with engineering, security, application, and customer stakeholders to translate technical requirements into scalable AWS solutions.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, implementation guidance, and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Active Top Secret clearance (TS/SCI, CI Poly desired but not required)
• 8+ years of relevant experience in systems engineering, cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Extensive hands-on experience designing, implementing, and supporting AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Experience designing and operating multi-account AWS environments.
• Experience developing and maintaining infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, or equivalent technologies.
• Strong Windows and Linux systems administration experience.
• Experience implementing and managing patching, configuration management, software baselines, and compliance across enterprise systems.
• Strong understanding of cloud security principles, including IAM, least privilege, encryption, network segmentation, and secure system configuration.
• Experience designing high-availability, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions.
• Strong understanding of AWS architecture best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• DOD 8570 IAT II certified (Security+ certification or higher)

Highly Desired Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AWS Systems Manager (SSM), particularly for patching, automation, configuration management, inventory, or compliance.
• Hands-on experience designing, implementing, or administering Amazon FSx.
• Experience designing and implementing shared AWS services across multiple accounts.
• Experience establishing cloud governance standards, guardrails, reference architectures, or reusable infrastructure patterns.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional, or another relevant advanced AWS certification.
