Cloud Engineer III

At PMAT, we work on mission critical systems that directly support the warfighter, designing, building, and securing modern digital capabilities across cloud, data, and software environments. Our teams tackle complex, real-world challenges where delivery matters more than theory, and innovation is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and purpose.

In this role, you’ll contribute to Naval Operational Architecture (NOA), working alongside engineers and operators to deliver resilient, forward-leaning solutions in support of national defense.

PMAT is seeking an experienced Cloud Engineer III to design, build, integrate, and sustain secure cloud infrastructure and application runtime environments supporting mission-critical systems. This role will work across cloud compute, storage, containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, networking, monitoring, and security to provide reliable and scalable platforms for operational applications. The candidate will collaborate with software, platform, network, cybersecurity, and systems engineering teams to integrate commercial, government, and proprietary software into cohesive cloud-based environments.

The role requires strong cloud and Linux fundamentals, hands‑on troubleshooting capabilities, and the ability to solve complex infrastructure challenges while contributing to the continued evolution of scalable, automated, and secure cloud architectures.

• Design, deploy, configure, and sustain production cloud infrastructure supporting compute, storage, networking, containerized applications, and mission-critical workloads.
• Manage cloud compute and storage resources, including EC2 instances and block, file, and object storage, to maintain system availability, data persistence, performance, reliability, and efficient resource utilization.
• Deploy, administer, troubleshoot, and optimize containerized applications and microservices across Kubernetes environments, including container runtime, workload scheduling, service discovery, networking, ingress, and application availability.
• Implement and optimize dynamic resource management and scaling strategies across cloud and Kubernetes environments using workload demand, performance requirements, operational needs, and infrastructure cost considerations.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design and implement application orchestration and runtime environments that integrate decoupled services, commercial products, Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software, and proprietary applications into cohesive operational workflows.
• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, metrics, alerting, and health telemetry across cloud infrastructure, compute resources, containers, applications, and storage to support proactive system management and rapid troubleshooting.
• Configure and maintain cloud networking infrastructure, including VPCs, subnets, security groups, route tables, NACLs, load balancers, and supporting network services required for secure application connectivity.
• Partner with cybersecurity and engineering teams to implement operating system hardening, least‑privilege access, IAM controls, secure network configurations, data protection requirements, and applicable security and compliance baselines.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, maintenance, and operational tasks using Infrastructure as Code, scripting, CI/CD, and other automation technologies where appropriate.
• Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support across cloud, Linux, Kubernetes, application, network, storage, and security environments while documenting architectures, configurations, procedures, and recommended solutions.
