Looking for a career where hard work is valued, and your ideas and feedback are part of the way we operate daily? Want to bring your skills to a company that encourages teamwork and champions continued education and process improvement?

Atlas Tech, a veteran-owned IT company serving multiple DoD customers in support of America's warfighters, is looking for a Senior Microsoft Azure Cloud Engineer in North Charleston, SC. This is an onsite position requiring a relocation if you are outside of the Charleston market.

The ideal candidate for this position will have proven experience in a technology-driven program or project supporting the US Navy. If you have systems engineering skills, a strong work ethic and commitment to quality, we would like to talk to you about joining our growing team.

You Will:

• Design, deploy, secure, and sustain Microsoft Azure architectures, with preference for Azure Government over commercial cloud and Azure over AWS.


• Apply experience in DoD Impact Level environments; IL5 experience is strongly desired, and IL6 experience is ideal.


• Design hybrid-cloud solutions that run complementary services on premises and in Azure, including integration and management through Azure Arc.


• Engineer external connectivity and direct-connect solutions, including Azure ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, routing, and connectivity to on-premises networks.


• Design and manage internal networking, including virtual networks, subnets, network security groups, VLANs, routing, and network segmentation.


• Implement cloud security using Microsoft Defender, Azure Firewall, VPN Gateway, secure baselines, least-privilege access, and Zero Trust principles.


• Design and administer Azure identity, role-based access control, privileged access, and service identities, including integration with program-provided NIS tools.


• Architect and support Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows and Linux virtual machines, and containerized workloads.


• Evaluate technical, cybersecurity, mission, and cost constraints and develop resilient Azure solution architectures and implementation plans.


• Develop repeatable infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Azure Automation integrated with Terraform; PowerShell, Bash, Python, and CI/CD experience is valuable.


• Troubleshoot complex cloud, network, identity, security, compute, and hybrid-integration issues across lab and production environments.


• Produce architecture diagrams, implementation plans, test artifacts, operating procedures, and RMF/ATO compliance evidence; participate in technical reviews and change management.

You Have:

• Possession of a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret Level Security Clearance with a current SSBI/T5 investigation, TS/SCI desired


• DoD 8140\8570 Certifications to be qualified as an Information Assurance Technician (IAT) Level II (e.g. CompTIA Security+ certification)


• 10+ years of experience with C4I systems with specific focus on systems engineering and cybersecurity support


• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field


• Experience supporting Navy C4I or comparable DoD mission environments.


• Azure Government and classified-cloud engineering experience at IL6.


• Advanced Azure architecture experience with Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Arc, ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall, Microsoft Defender, VPN Gateway, virtual machines, containers, and role-based access control.


• Hybrid-cloud architecture spanning on-premises infrastructure and Azure services.


• Terraform integrated with Azure Automation, Git-based version control, and CI/CD pipelines.


• Experience with Azure Kubernetes Service or other Kubernetes/container platforms.


• Familiarity with DISA STIGs, ACAS/SCAP remediation, RMF controls, POA&Ms, and continuous monitoring.


• Strong communication, technical documentation, collaboration, and leadership skills in a multi-disciplinary Agile environment.
