We are seeking a junior to mid-level Cloud Engineer to join our Automation Engineers and USDC DevOps practice.

• Troubleshoot, document, and continuously improve deployment, monitoring, and security automation for all platforms.
• Engage with both the cloud and on‑prem teams, proactively learning primary and secondary stacks through onboarding, peer programming, and joint solutioning.
• Share learnings and best practices across the DevOps organization to reduce silos and accelerate overall capability.

Requirements

• Must have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field.
• Must have an Active DOD Secret Clearance
• Minimum of 3+ Years of experience as a Cloud Engineer
• Minimum of 2+ years’ experience with infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and platform support.
• Must have experience with GitLab, AWS, EKS, Terraform, Docker.
• Must have Jenkins, OpenShift, Ansible experience.
• Must have exceptional ability to break down complex situations and identify root causes for both technical and process‑related issues
• Must have strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to articulate technical concepts to non‑technical users and collaborate effectively with development teams
• Must have the proven ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply skills in evolving technical environments
