E-INFOSOL LLC is seeking a highly motivated Senior Principal Cloud Engineer to join our innovative, customer-focused team in Chantilly, VA.

Summary

The Senior Principal Cloud Engineer serves as a senior hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building, and modernizing secure, scalable cloud platforms and mission-critical systems. This role combines deep cloud engineering expertise with practical delivery ownership, working directly in architecture, automation, implementation, and optimization of cloud-native solutions.

The ideal candidate is a Senior Principal-level builder who can move fluently from whiteboard architecture to working implementation. This individual provides technical direction while actively contributing to solution design, cloud migration, platform engineering, automation, application modernization, and production problem solving.

• Design and implement automation for provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, security controls, and operational recovery.
• Evaluate and make architectural decisions on cloud services, application patterns, data flows, integration approaches, security models, and operational tradeoffs.
• Partner directly with developers, architects, security engineers, program leaders, and customer stakeholders to resolve technical blockers and keep delivery moving.
• Perform hands-on technical reviews of designs, code, pipelines, infrastructure definitions, deployment patterns, and operational runbooks to ensure engineering excellence.
• Drive improvements in reliability, scalability, performance, cost optimization, observability, and security posture across cloud environments.
• Mentor senior engineers and technical leads through complex design and implementation challenges while raising the organization's cloud engineering standards.
• Support solution shaping, technical capture, and growth activities by contributing practical architecture, implementation strategies, estimates, and delivery approaches.
