Join us to drive positive, lasting change that moves missions and the government forward! Accenture Federal Services is seeking a Senior Dev Ops / Platform Engineer to join our secure cloud platform team supporting government customers at Hill Air Force Base.

This role is execution-focused with strong Dev Ops engineering depth. You will design, build, and operate the CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and platform tooling that enable rapid, secure delivery across a complex government program. This role operates at the intersection of development and operations. The ideal candidate brings hands-on Git Ops and infrastructure-as-code expertise, is comfortable in classified multi-network environments, and embodies extreme ownership-taking full accountability for infrastructure components from design through production operations.

What Success Looks Like:
* CI/CD pipelines are reliable, automated, and integrated with security scanning, enabling teams to deliver faster without introducing risk
* Infrastructure is defined as code, version-controlled, and repeatable across environments-no snowflake systems
* Platform tooling (Crossplane, Backstage, Argo CD) reduces friction for engineering teams and accelerates delivery velocity
* Security and compliance controls are baked into pipelines, not bolted on; STIGs, accreditation requirements, and hardening standards are met without slowing delivery
* You operate with minimal supervision, proactively identifying infrastructure gaps, driving solutions, and communicating impact to stakeholders What you'll do:
* Dev Ops & Platform Engineering
* Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable delivery across government cloud environments
* Build and manage infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CDK to enable consistent, repeatable deployments
* Operate and evolve platform engineering tooling including Crossplane, Backstage, and Argo CD for self-service delivery infrastructure
* Implement and maintain Git Ops workflows using Git Lab and/or Git Hub, supporting advanced branching strategies, code review, and pipeline orchestration
* Manage containerization and orchestration across development and production environments using Kubernetes and Docker
* Cloud Infrastructure & Operations
* Design and implement secure, scalable cloud architectures on AWS Gov Cloud (primary) and Azure Government
* Configure and optimize network architecture, including VPC design, hybrid connectivity, security groups, and load balancing
* Manage identity and access management across cloud platforms using least-privilege principles
* Administer Linux and Windows systems, including configuration management, monitoring, logging, and alerting
* Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and implement performance optimizations
* Security & Compliance
* Implement and maintain security controls aligned with NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and DISA STIG requirements
* Integrate automated security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) into CI/CD pipelines for continuous compliance validation
* Support security audits, ATO processes, and compliance assessments with organized, audit-ready artifacts
* Manage encryption, key management, and access controls in classified and multi-network environments
* Develop and maintain security documentation and operational procedures
* Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
* Operate within a SAFe Agile framework, participating in sprints, standups, PI planning, and retrospectives
* Mentor team members and share knowledge across the organization; drive technical standards adoption
* Proactively identify infrastructure gaps and optimization opportunities before they become delivery problems
* Document infrastructure decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures as a core discipline Ideal Technical background:
* Git Ops & IaC:
Strong background in Git Ops workflows;
Terraform, Ansible, and/or AWS CDK proficiency required
* CI/CD:
Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines;
Git Lab and/or Git Hub required
* Containers:
