CACI is seeking a skilled Cloud Automation Engineer to support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG). This role offers a unique opportunity to architect and automate the infrastructure foundation for a cutting-edge AI and data analytics platform that strengthens national security oversight through investigative, audit, and inspection operations.

As a Cloud Automation Engineer, you will design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions that enable repeatable, scalable, and secure deployment of enterprise AI capabilities, data platforms, and mission applications across Azure Government and Azure Commercial environments. You will build CI/CD pipelines, automate environment provisioning, implement monitoring and logging infrastructure, and support containerization strategies that accelerate delivery while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.

Working within a secure government cloud environment, you will be instrumental in establishing the Dev Sec Ops  backbone for a transformational program of national importance. Join us to make a meaningful impact by building the infrastructure that powers next-generation oversight capabilities.

• Design, develop, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to enable repeatable, version-controlled deployment of Azure environments for AI platforms, data analytics infrastructure, and mission applications.
• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation using Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops, and approved Dev Sec Ops  tooling to accelerate secure software delivery.
• Implement automation solutions using Ansible, Python, Power Shell, or other approved technologies to streamline environment configuration, compute provisioning, and infrastructure operations.
• Support containerization strategies for OIGChat, AI platform services, and analytical applications, including Docker, Azure Container Instances, or Kubernetes-based solutions.
• Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting infrastructure for applications, data pipelines, and cloud resources using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and approved observability tools.
• Automate data quality checks, validation workflows, and operational processes to improve reliability and reduce manual intervention.
• Maintain infrastructure baselines, tagging standards, resource naming conventions, and configuration management to support governance, cost optimization, and compliance.
• Support cloud infrastructure deployment for pilot AI applications and analytical workloads, ensuring scalability, performance, and security requirements are met.
• Develop comprehensive technical documentation including architecture diagrams, runbooks, deployment procedures, and infrastructure-as-code repositories to support operations and knowledge transfer.
• Collaborate with Government stakeholders, security teams, and development teams to integrate Dev Sec Ops  practices, support Agile delivery, and maintain security and compliance posture.

Required –
