Multi-Cloud Engineer - SME Security Clearance

Overview The Multi-Cloud Engineer - SME serves as a senior technical authority and hands-on engineer for designing, building, integrating, automating, and sustaining capabilities across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments. The role establishes technical patterns, resolves complex architecture and integration challenges, develops production-ready solutions, and advises government and program leadership on multi-cloud strategy.

• Serve as the senior technical subject-matter expert and hands-on engineer for multi-cloud capabilities across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and hybrid/on-premises environments.
• Design, build, configure, deploy, test, troubleshoot, and sustain cloud infrastructure, platform services, and integrations in production and non-production environments.
• Develop reference architectures, reusable infrastructure modules, engineering standards, and implementation guidance that enable portability, interoperability, resilience, and consistent security across cloud providers.
• Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Bicep/ARM templates, AWS Cloud Formation, Ansible, or equivalent automation frameworks.
• Build and maintain continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for infrastructure, platform components, and cloud-native applications using approved Dev Sec Ops  tooling.
• Design and implement cross-cloud and hybrid connectivity, including virtual networks/VPCs, subnets, routing, firewalls/security groups, private connectivity, domain name system (DNS), load balancing, network segmentation, and connectivity to on-premises environments.
• Configure and troubleshoot identity, access management (IAM), privileged access, role-based access control (RBAC), identity federation, service identities, secrets management, and integration with enterprise identity providers.
• Deploy, configure, administer, upgrade, secure, and troubleshoot container platforms and Kubernetes environments, including cluster networking, ingress, storage, policy enforcement, workload deployments, and observability.
• Develop and maintain cloud-native application hosting patterns for virtual machines, containers, serverless services, managed databases, object storage, messaging, and API integration services.
• Implement automated configuration management, patching, vulnerability remediation, image hardening, baseline enforcement, and compliance reporting for cloud and hybrid infrastructure.
• Build and tune centralized logging, monitoring, alerting, tracing, dashboards, and service-level indicators across cloud and on-premises environments.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for complex infrastructure, networking, application-platform, identity, performance, and availability incidents; implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead hands-on engineering efforts for complex migrations, modernization initiatives, workload refactoring, data migration, and hybrid-cloud transformations.
• Evaluate cloud services and prototype solutions to recommend fit-for-purpose technologies based on mission requirements, performance, cost, security, and operational constraints.
• Analyze cloud performance, availability, capacity, resiliency, and cost; implement optimization measures, autoscaling, backup, disaster-recovery, and recovery-validation solutions.
• Produce and maintain build documentation, runbooks, scripts, configuration baselines, implementation plans, test procedures, architecture diagrams, and operational procedures.
• Perform peer reviews of infrastructure code, cloud configurations, technical designs, implementation artifacts, and operational documentation.
• Mentor cloud engineers through code reviews, technical demonstrations, troubleshooting…
