Position Overview: ZenPoint Solutions is seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Engineer with at least 7 years of experience to join our team.

The successful candidate will play a role in designing and deploying scalable solutions that bridge legacy systems with modern cloud capabilities.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Serve as a senior technical subject-matter expert (SME) to government leadership, providing guidance on cloud architecture decisions and modernization strategy.
  • Develop and maintain cloud governance frameworks including tagging standards, taxonomy models, access controls, and cost-optimization strategies to ensure consistent, compliant, and efficient cloud operations.
  • Act as a senior escalation point for complex cloud engineering issues, driving rapid resolution and advising engineering teams on best-practice approaches.
  • Design and manage secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure specifically tailored for lab consolidation requirements.
  • Deploy hybrid and multi-cloud solutions using platforms like AWS, Azure (Commercial & Government), and Google Cloud.
  • Develop automation scripts and utilize Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation to streamline migration and consolidation efforts.
  • Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) to modernize legacy lab applications.
  • Partner with development, security, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration during the consolidation process.
  • Monitor performance and security to ensure all consolidated environments meet strict federal compliance and cost-efficiency standards.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior cloud engineers on the project team.
Requirements

Required Qualifications:
  • Candidate must be a United States Citizen and present proof of Citizenship, if selected.
  • 7+ years of professional experience in cloud engineering or a related infrastructure role.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Azure (including Azure Government) and other major cloud providers.
  • Strong proficiency in IaC tools (Terraform, ARM templates) and scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
  • Expertise in networking and security, including TCP/IP, DNS, SSL/TLS, and VPN configurations.
  • Solid understanding of container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker).
  • Advanced problem-solving skills for resolving complex cloud-related incidents.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Bonus Qualifications:
  • Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate (MCAAA), MCSA, or Network+.
  • Experience with VMware ESX/vCenter and legacy Windows Server environments (2008 and up) to facilitate migration.
  • Familiarity with Azure Data Lake, Databricks, or Data Factory.
  • Exposure to Cisco ASA, Palo Alto, or FortiGate security appliances.
  • Proficiency in Azure DevOps, SCCM, and Microsoft 365.

Company Benefits: We take care of your well-being here at ZenPoint Solutions! Our comprehensive benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance to keep you and your family healthy. We also offer group and voluntary life insurance for financial security, and short-term and long-term disability insurance to provide peace of mind in case of unexpected illness or injury. You'll have the option to contribute to a 401(k)-retirement plan with company matching contributions to save for the future. We also offer flexible spending accounts to help manage medical and dependent care costs on a pre-tax basis. On top of that, you'll enjoy a generous paid leave policy, including federal holidays, to maintain a healthy work-life balance. To help you grow in your career, we offer professional development opportunities and a tuition assistance program.
