• Partner with enterprise IT teams to integrate cloud infrastructure and network environments with corporate data center and on‐premises infrastructure.
• Use model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) tools such as Cameo (or equivalent) to understand and refine requirements, and create model designs using industry‐standard languages (for example, UML, SysML, AUTOSAR, DoDAF, MODAF, UPDM).
• Validate functionality early in the development lifecycle and automate the delivery of highly structured cloud services.
• Prototype, simulate, and execute designs for early validation and feedback.
• Design standardized and reusable cloud services that enable development and business teams to meet targets for speed, resilience, performance, repeatability, and security.
• Engineer, implement, and continuously improve the quality of these standardized cloud services.
• Provide approved templates, images, and reusable artifacts so customers can easily consume standardized cloud services.

• Experience with configuration management and automation tools (examples include Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Terraform, or similar).
• IASE Level II certification (must be current).
• Native or bilingual proficiency in English (spoken and written).

Desired/Nice‐to‐have skills:

• Experience managing traditional enterprise platforms for compute, network, and storage.
• Familiarity with Mission Landing Zones (MLZ).
• Basic understanding of application development using Git Hub or Bitbucket.
• Basic understanding of containers and container orchestration platforms such as Docker, rkt, Mesos, or Kubernetes.
• Experience managing traditional enterprise application runtimes, integration middleware, and relational databases.
• Experience with Cameo or other model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) tools.
