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.

M‑F, 8 hours/5 days per week; after‑hours call‑in may be required.

• 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.

• Experience provisioning, configuring, and managing cloud infrastructure and services (compute, storage, networking, IAM).
• Experience designing and implementing secure, scalable cloud architectures.
• Experience developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform, Cloud Formation, AWS CDK, etc.
• Knowledge of containers and platform workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE).
• Experience configuring monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as Cloud Watch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/Open Search, 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/Key Vault/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.

• TS/SCI with Polygraph.

• 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.

• 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.
