Job description

Supports Cloud One deployment, cloud sustainment, infrastructure modernization, environment management, and migration execution across AWS GovCloud and Azure Cloud One environments supporting BMx FoS systems. Cloud Engineers are responsible for provisioning, configuring, sustaining, securing, and optimizing cloud-hosted environments supporting FMxC2 and associated modernization activities.

Cloud Engineers work closely with the DevSecOps Platform Lead, Cloud Migration Lead, Cybersecurity personnel, System Architects, and Enterprise Integration personnel to implement Infrastructure-as-Code, automate environment provisioning, support deployment pipelines, manage cloud monitoring services, and maintain cloud security and operational availability.
