Purpose and Impact This team focuses on providing cloud-based geolocation solutions in near‑real‑time directly to decision makers and warfighters worldwide. They define requirements and determine solutions to enhance capabilities and integrate applications and data formats. With this team, you’ll have the opportunity to exercise your skills in all facets of the systems engineering life cycle, including requirements gathering, system design, testing, artifact development, and deployment in cloud environments. Work Schedule M‑F, 8 hours/5 days per week; after‑hours call‑in may be required. Essential Responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure, ensuring systems are designed and maintained following best practices and governance requirements. Build reusable modules (e.g., Helm Charts, Terraform) and enforce development standards for creation and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code. Continuously monitor infrastructure and systems health and performance using logging and alerting; identify issues and implement solutions for improved efficiency. Provide strategies for failure/recovery (backup, high availability); cost optimization (tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling); and benefit analysis of cloud services. Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system capabilities and efficiency. Contribute to deliverables (architectures, runbooks, operational procedures) and performance metrics, where applicable, and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams. Stay abreast of emerging technologies and recommend enhancements to current systems. Minimum Requirements (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) Experience provisioning, configuring, and managing cloud infrastructure and services (compute, storage, networking, IAM). Experience designing and implementing secure, scalable cloud architectures.

Experience configuring monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, and responding to incidents. Experience implementing and testing backup, disaster‑recovery, and high‑availability strategies. Experience managing secrets and key management with tools such as KMS/KeyVault/Secret Manager, certificates, and rotation policies. Experience optimizing cloud cost and performance (tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling) and producing usage/cost reports. Experience troubleshooting cloud infrastructure issues (DNS, routing, VPN, security, service limits). Experience documenting architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures. Experience with Linux OS. Clearance Required TS/SCI with Polygraph. Minimum Education Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline from an accredited college or university. Up to four (4) years of additional experience in software development/engineering on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree. Minimum Years of Experience Six (6) years of experience in software development/engineering in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity, including at least four (4) years of experience in software development on systems utilizing cloud‑related technologies.
