As a Senior HCM Cloud Platform & DevOps Engineer, you’ll design, build, and operate secure cloud infrastructure supporting a major federal HCM modernization program. You’ll help deliver reliable, high-performance environments across development, testing, staging, and production. The role combines cloud engineering, DevOps automation, infrastructure as code, compliance, disaster recovery, and enterprise environment management. You’ll work extensively with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and federal security frameworks, building solutions that are resilient, traceable, and audit-ready. You’ll also serve as a technical authority, influencing platform standards and engineering direction across multiple workstreams. This is a primarily remote opportunity with occasional onsite work in Reston, Virginia, and up to 10% travel within the continental United States.

Accountabilities

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM configuration promotion across DEV, TEST, STAGE, and PROD environments using Jenkins, Terraform, Python, and related technologies.

• Apply infrastructure-as-code practices through Terraform or similar technologies to provision, configure, and consistently replicate cloud environments.
• Enforce FIPS 140-3 encryption requirements across platform components and coordinate with cybersecurity teams on key management and certificate lifecycle activities.
• Manage environment refresh cycles, data masking, and sandbox provisioning to support agency onboarding and parallel deployment workstreams.
• Develop and maintain operational runbooks, architecture diagrams, deployment procedures, and infrastructure documentation supporting daily operations and Authorization to Operate (ATO) requirements.
• Participate in SAFe Agile ceremonies, contributing to sprint planning, infrastructure automation, technical debt remediation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Act as the technical authority for the platform domain by defining engineering standards, best practices, architectural approaches, and design direction across workstreams and Agile Release Trains.
• Lead and mentor engineering and functional team members, encourage innovation, influence cross-functional decisions, and communicate technical strategy to program leadership.
