Job summary

General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. seeks a Senior Cloud Architect/DevSecOps to design and implement Azure platform services, landing zones, and secure automation for production workloads.

You will build IaC modules, pipelines, and supply-chain controls to enable scalable, compliant cloud operations. The role requires 8+ years in cloud/platform engineering, strong Linux/Windows admin skills, and TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or related STEM field, or approved equivalent experience.
• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
• Onsite location
• 8+ years of cloud/platform/DevSecOps experience, incl. 3+ years delivering production platform automation.
• Hands-on Azure or Azure Government experience with networking, compute, storage, identity integration, policy, monitoring, and secure configuration.
• Strong IaC experience with Terraform, Bicep/ARM, Ansible, or equivalent, incl. module design, state/change management, testing, and peer-reviewed promotion.
• Experience building/operating CI/CD and artifact/container services inside enterprise or disconnected boundaries using GitLab, Jenkins, Nexus/Artifactory, Harbor, Kubernetes/OpenShift, or comparable platforms.
• Strong Linux and Windows administration fundamentals plus Python, PowerShell, Bash, or other automation language.
• Experience with container hardening, image/dependency scanning, SBOMs, secrets management, certificate handling, and rollback/recovery.
• Working knowledge of RMF/STIG controls, change management, operational acceptance, logging/audit, and classified data-handling requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical work, review others' code/designs, communicate risk early, and operate calmly during production issues.

Responsibilities

• Implement Azure platform services, landing-zone components, network integration, policy, logging, identity hooks, key/secrets management, and workload hosting patterns under the Principal Cloud Architect's direction.
• Develop and maintain version-controlled IaC modules using Terraform, Bicep/ARM, Ansible, or approved equivalents; enforce peer review, testing, and release discipline.
• Build and operate internal GitLab/Jenkins or equivalent pipelines, container platforms, registries, package repositories, image repositories, and artifact mirrors for disconnected delivery.
• Implement software supply-chain controls including SBOM generation, dependency and image scanning, signing, provenance, allowlists, and promotion gates.
• Develop hardened container images, deployment templates, configuration standards, and environment-specific overlays for applications, data services, and AI inference workloads.
• Automate platform provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, certificate/secret rotation, compliance checks, and routine operations.
• Integrate platform telemetry with Azure Monitor, Sentinel, Dynatrace, ServiceNow, and the enterprise observability architecture.
• Partner with Security and RMF staff to implement controls and produce reusable evidence from code, pipeline, scan, and configuration outputs.
• Troubleshoot complex platform failures, lead technical recovery when assigned, document root causes, and convert lessons into platform improvements.
• Mentor engineers, conduct code/design reviews, and help domain teams adopt approved platform patterns rather than building shadow infrastructure.
