They define requirements and determine and solutions to enhance capabilities and integrate applications and data formats. With this team, you'll have the opportunity to exercise your skills in all facets of the systems engineering life cycle including requirements gathering, system design, testing, artifact development, and deployment in cloud environments.
Work Schedule: M-F, 8 hours/5 days per week
Essential Responsibilities: - Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure (e.g., modernization, migration, roadmaps, etc.), ensuring that systems are designed and maintained following best practices and governance requirements.
- Build reusable modules (e.g., Helm Charts, Terraform, etc.) and enforce development standards for creation and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- Continuously monitor the health and performance of the infrastructure and systems using logging and alerting, identify issues and implement solutions for improved efficiency.
- Provide strategies for failure/recovery (e.g., backup, high availability, etc.), cost optimization (e.g., tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling, etc.) and benefit analysis of cloud services.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system capabilities and efficiency.
- Contribute to deliverables (e.g., architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures) and performance metrics, where applicable, and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams.
- Stay abreast of emerging technologies and recommend enhancements to current systems.
Minimum Requirements (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities):Proven progressive responsibility and experience, collectively, with the following:
- Experience provisioning, configuring, and managing cloud infrastructure and services (e.g., compute, storage, networking, IAM)

- Knowledge of containers and platform workloads (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE).
- Experience configuring monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, etc. and responding to incidents.
- Experience implementing and testing backup, disaster recovery, and high-availability strategies.
- Experience managing secrets and key management with tools such as KMS/KeyVault/Secret Manager, certificates, and rotation policies.
- Experience optimizing cloud cost and performance (e.g., tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling) and producing usage/cost reports.
- Experience troubleshooting cloud infrastructure issues across networking (DNS, routing, VPN), security, and service limits.
- Experience documenting architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures.
- Experience with Linux OS
Clearance Required: Minimum Education: - Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
- Five (5) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
Minimum Years of Experience: - Fourteen (14) years' experience as a SE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required. Five (5) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
