Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
Location: Onsite
8+ years of cloud, platform, systems, or DevSecOps engineering experience, including 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, including module design, state/change management, testing, and peer-reviewed promotion.
Experience building or operating CI/CD and artifact/container services using GitLab, Jenkins, Nexus/Artifactory, Harbor, Kubernetes/OpenShift, or comparable platforms.
Strong Linux and Windows administration fundamentals plus proficiency in Python, PowerShell, Bash, or another 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.
