Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure supporting the program's mission workloads. You'll build infrastructure-as-code, deploy and maintain containerized environments, and configure networking and security controls, working alongside senior engineers as you grow into greater design ownership.

What You'll Own
  • Cloud infrastructure deployment and maintenance across supported environments, including compute, storage, and networking
  • Infrastructure-as-code development (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible) for consistent, repeatable deployments
  • Identity, access, and network security configuration across cloud environments
  • CI/CD pipeline support and containerized workload deployment (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response for supported infrastructure
  • Security control implementation and STIG compliance checks for owned systems

What You'll Deliver
  • Infrastructure delivered as version-controlled, repeatable infrastructure-as-code rather than manual configuration
  • Containerized applications deployed and running reliably in supported environments
  • Documented infrastructure decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures
  • Timely resolution of infrastructure incidents, escalated appropriately when complexity exceeds scope
  • Security controls implemented and verified against required baselines

Here's What You Need
  • 3+ years of experience deploying, managing, or securing applications in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or similar) - including infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and scripting for automation (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of relevant job or military experience in lieu of degree
  • DoD 8140 compliance (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent)

Bonus Points If You Have
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack)
  • Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Experience with multiple cloud environments, including Oracle or Azure alongside AWS
  • Experience integrating AI/ML services into cloud environments
  • Familiarity with National Security systems and air-gapped environments

Security Requirements
  • Active TS clearance required; SCI preferred
