We are seeking a proactive Platform as a Service (PaaS) Engineer to join our team in support of the Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. The PaaS Engineer will assist the Program Management Office (PMO) in overseeing and supporting the design, deployment, and maintenance of the cloud infrastructure underpinning the GIS platform. This role emphasizes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure repeatable, secure, and highly available deployments across both cloud and on‑premise systems while keeping mission needs and performance requirements at the forefront.

The PaaS Engineer monitors vendor activities related to deployment pipeline development, automated provisioning, and infrastructure maintenance. The role assists the Government Program Management Office (GPMO) in managing cloud and on‑prem resources, including AWS, UDS, and Enterprise GIS components, to ensure the environment remains cost‑optimized, resilient, and performant. This position supports Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline oversight, ensures vendors maintain properly functioning build, test, and deployment workflows, and verifies that observability tooling—auto‑scaling, load balancing, logging, monitoring, and alerting—has been properly configured.

The engineer advises the GPMO on vendor tool selection, licensing, and cost considerations to ensure effective resource utilization.

Security responsibilities include reviewing vendor‑implemented network security controls and ensuring compliance with enterprise cybersecurity standards. The role also provides oversight for container orchestration, ensuring the GIS PaaS platform can support microservices, containerized GIS servers, and managed geospatial workloads.

Assessments of vendor deployment scripts; validated CI/CD pipelines; system health dashboards; alerting rules; and security compliance reports—contributing to a stable and mission‑ready hosting environment for GIS SMEs.
