Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own infrastructure design decisions for mission‑critical cloud environments. You'll set engineering direction for infrastructure-as-code, architect solutions for compute, storage, and networking at enterprise scale, and mentor the engineers building against your designs.

• Infrastructure design and architecture for mission‑critical workloads, including compute, storage, and networking at enterprise scale
• Infrastructure‑as‑code standards and technical direction for the team's IaC practices
• Disaster recovery, backup, and business continuity design for supported environments
• Security control implementation, STIG compliance, and vulnerability remediation across owned infrastructure
• Root‑cause resolution for complex (Tier
  3) infrastructure incidents
• Mentorship of mid‑level and junior engineers, including infrastructure‑as‑code review and technical standards

• New infrastructure delivered as reusable, version‑controlled infrastructure‑as‑code modules rather than one‑off manual configuration
• Enterprise‑scale cloud architecture that satisfies both mission performance and security requirements
• Disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, validated and ready for use
• Faster incident resolution as root‑cause investigation becomes the team norm
• Junior and mid‑level engineers who route architecture and design questions to you because your technical judgment is trusted

• 5-6+ years of cloud engineering or infrastructure experience, including hands‑on production work with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Cloud Formation, or Ansible), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and Linux/Unix systems administration
• At least 2 years of experience mentoring or providing technical leadership to other engineers
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of relevant job or military experience in lieu of degree
• DoD 8140 compliance (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent)

• Experience designing solutions for multi‑classification or cross‑domain environments
• AWS or Azure certifications (Solutions Architect level or above)
• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD)
• Experience with configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet) beyond Ansible
• Familiarity with National Security systems and air‑gapped environments

• Active TS clearance required; SCI preferred
