Zusammenfassung

EY is actively seeking a Cloud Modernization Senior Engineer to join our Government and Infrastructure Digital Engineering team in the McLean area. You will assess current hosting, define future target patterns, and build secure cloud environments for AI-enabled modernization with a FedRAMP government cloud.

You'll also develop infrastructure templates, apply Zero Trust, and drive migration strategies with cross-functional teams.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, computer engineering or related field.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a secret level clearance.
• 3-6 years of experience in cloud, infrastructure or DevOps roles (internships and co-ops considered).
• Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure across compute, networking, storage, identity and monitoring services.

Aufgaben

• Inventory and assess current hosting for each application — on-premises data centers, virtualized (VM) infrastructure, AWS and Azure environments, and Kubernetes or container platforms.
• Evaluate cloud readiness and identify blockers such as operating system or runtime currency, licensing, network dependencies, data-handling constraints and performance requirements.
• Define target hosting patterns and migration approaches (rehost, replatform, containerize, or refactor to cloud-native and managed platform services) and produce effort, cost and run-rate estimates.
• Build, configure and operate the secure cloud environment for the AI-enabled assessment platform in a FedRAMP-authorized government cloud region, including virtual networks, private endpoints, network security groups, managed identities, role-based access control, key management, logging and monitoring.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or Bicep) modules and environment templates that can be reused across later modernization waves.
• Apply Zero Trust principles and NIST SP 800-53 control requirements to environment designs and produce the architecture and security documentation needed to support authorization.
• Implement observability and cost monitoring; right-size resources and manage cloud consumption.
• Identify shared-platform and infrastructure dependencies (middleware, identity, integration, backup and disaster recovery) that affect rationalization and sequencing decisions.
• Document architectures, configurations and operational runbooks.
• Lead target-state infrastructure architecture for groups of applications and define landing zone and reference hosting patterns.
• Lead migration strategy for complex workloads, including hybrid connectivity, backup and disaster recovery, and recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO).
• Review Infrastructure-as-Code and designs produced by Staff engineers and coach them on cloud engineering practices.
• Engage client infrastructure, cloud and security stakeholders to confirm constraints and align on target patterns.
