Cloud Solutions Engineer Security Clearance

Position: Cloud Solutions Engineer with Security Clearance
Overview The Cloud Solutions Engineer translates mission and technical requirements into implementable cloud solutions. The role works across architecture, infrastructure, applications, data, cybersecurity, and operations to develop practical solutions that can be engineered, secured, deployed, operated, and sustained. This is a hands-on technical role requiring direct experience configuring, deploying, troubleshooting, and optimizing cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. Responsibilities
* Engage with government customers and mission stakeholders to understand operational needs, technical requirements, constraints, and desired outcomes.
* Translate mission requirements into cloud solution designs spanning infrastructure, applications, data, networking, security, and operations.
* Develop solution architectures, logical and physical diagrams, technical approaches, bills of materials, migration plans, and implementation roadmaps.
* Evaluate Azure, AWS, on-premises, and hybrid services and select appropriate technologies based on mission fit.
* Provision, configure, test, and troubleshoot cloud infrastructure and platform services, including compute, storage, networking, identity, security, monitoring, and backup/recovery capabilities.
* Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates, Cloud Formation, or comparable automation frameworks.
* Configure and support cloud networking, including virtual networks, subnets, route tables, security groups/network security groups, firewalls, private endpoints, DNS, load balancers, virtual private network connectivity, and hybrid connectivity.
* Implement and troubleshoot identity and access management (IAM) capabilities, including role-based access control, least-privilege access, privileged access, service identities, secrets management, and multifactor authentication integrations.
* Design secure integration patterns among applications, APIs, data platforms, identity services, networks, and enterprise services.
* Work with software and Dev Sec Ops  teams to ensure solution designs can be implemented through automated pipelines.
* Build, configure, and support continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments; integrate automated testing, security scanning, configuration validation, and deployment approvals as required.
* Deploy, configure, and support containerized workloads and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, Docker, or equivalent technologies.
* Configure cloud logging, monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and observability solutions; analyze system performance, availability, capacity, and security events to identify and resolve technical issues.
* Perform hands-on technical assessments, migration activities, environment validation, root-cause analysis, and remediation for cloud and hybrid-cloud systems.
* Identify technical dependencies, risks, assumptions, constraints, and opportunities for reuse and standardization.
* Support prototypes, proof-of-concepts, technical demonstrations, and engineering evaluations.
* Assist capture, modernization, and program teams with technical solution development, estimates, technical narratives, and transition plans.
* Coordinate technical reviews with cybersecurity, infrastructure, data, software, and mission stakeholders.
* Create and maintain implementation documentation, configuration baselines, runbooks, standard operating procedures, and technical diagrams. Qualifications

Required Qualifications
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related discipline; equivalent experience may be considered.
* 12+ years of progressively responsible infrastructure and cloud engineering experience, solutions engineering, systems engineering, or technical architecture.
* Hands-on knowledge of Azure and/or AWS and strong understanding of hybrid-cloud architectures.
* Demonstrated hands-on experience deploying and administering cloud services in Azure, AWS, or both, rather than solely developing…
