• Respond to monitoring alerts and escalate complex problems with clear technical context
• Support patching cycles, baseline updates, and configuration management activities

Security & Compliance Support

• Implement and maintain security controls, STIG compliance checks, and vulnerability remediation activities
• Support security audits and coordinate remediation with Security Engineering and ISSO teams

Agile Delivery & Collaboration

• Operate within an Agile framework - participate in sprints, standups, and retrospectives
• Document infrastructure decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures
• Collaborate with senior engineers, security teams, and government personnel to support platform delivery

What you'll need:

• Cloud engineering or infrastructure experience (Azure preferred)
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g.: Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation, or Ansible)
• Working knowledge of containerization and orchestration (e.g.: Docker, Kubernetes)
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and operational tasks
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and/or incident response workflows

Bonus Points if you have:

• Multi-cloud experience (AWS and Azure)
• Experience with identity and access management, networking fundamentals, and/or cloud security controls
• Experience with cloud migration or modernization projects
• CompTIA Security+ (current) or equivalent security certification
• Azure or AWS certifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related technical field

Work Environment & Culture Fit

• Comfortable operating in a centralized vision, decentralized command culture
