Secure Pro is seeking a hands‑on Senior AWS Cloud Engineer / Cloud Implementation Lead to support a Department of Defense cloud governance, modernization, and gamification initiative. This role will lead the technical implementation of an AWS‑first capability that helps assess, score, visualize, and improve cloud maturity, security posture, operational readiness, and modernization progress across DoD systems.
The initial implementation will focus on AWS environments, but the long‑term roadmap includes multi‑cloud extensibility, including the ability to ingest and normalize data from Azure, Google Cloud, hybrid environments, and other enterprise data sources.
The ideal candidate is a strong AWS engineer who can lead implementation, coordinate with government stakeholders, build dashboards and data ingestion workflows, support containerization, and help scale an MVP into a repeatable cloud governance capability.
This is a hands‑on delivery role, not just an advisory or architecture position. The candidate should be comfortable building, documenting, troubleshooting, and coordinating across technical, cybersecurity, and program teams.
Duties- Lead day‑to‑day technical implementation of an AWS‑based cloud governance and gamification MVP.
- Design and implement cloud data ingestion, scoring, dashboarding, and reporting workflows.
- Coordinate with DoD stakeholders, system owners, cybersecurity teams, and program leadership.
- Support MVP implementation for initial DoD systems and help scale the solution to additional systems over time.
- Develop dashboards and reporting views for technical users, program stakeholders, and leadership.
- Support scoring models for cloud maturity, security posture, cost optimization, operational excellence, resilience, RMF/ATO readiness, and modernization progress.
- Work with Cyber/RMF/ATO support personnel to ensure the solution aligns with security, auditability, authorization, and compliance needs.
- Support AWS architecture, implementation, and integration using services such as S3, Lambda, API Gateway, Cloud Watch, Cloud Trail, AWS Config, Security Hub, IAM, KMS, ECS/Fargate, Athena/Glue, Quick Sight, or similar services.
- Help containerize and package the capability so it can be deployed and expanded across multiple systems.
- Design the solution with future multi‑cloud extensibility in mind, including future ingestion from Azure, Google Cloud, hybrid platforms, and non‑cloud data sources.
- Support API‑based integrations, normalized data models, and reusable ingestion patterns.
- Develop technical documentation, onboarding guides, deployment notes, and implementation playbooks.
- Manage implementation backlog, milestones, risks, dependencies, and technical blockers.
- Participate in stakeholder meetings, technical reviews, demos, and user acceptance testing.
- Provide clear written and verbal updates to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- 5+ years of experience in AWS cloud engineering, cloud implementation, Dev Ops, platform engineering, or application modernization.
- Hands‑on experience designing, deploying, or supporting AWS‑based solutions.
- Experience supporting federal, DoD, or other government customers.
- Strong understanding of cloud governance, security, logging, monitoring, tagging, automation, and operational best practices.
- Experience with dashboards, metrics, reporting, data pipelines, APIs, or scoring models.
- Familiarity with Agile delivery, backlog management, sprint planning, and stakeholder coordination.
- Ability to lead implementation activities independently with minimal supervision.
- Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
- Ability to translate technical progress, risks, and dependencies into leadership‑level updates.
- U.S. Citizenship required due to federal contract requirements.
- Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain/maintain a clearance.
- AWS certification such as AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS Sys Ops…
