- Reusable Automation Design: Build out reusable automation scripts and patterns for key platform services, including hybrid networking setup, firewall configurations, and environment tailoring.
- Identity & Governance Integration: Integrate deployed cloud services natively with the department's core identity, networking, and governance controls (such as Entra ID, IAM, and hybrid connectivity hubs).
- Workload Optimization & Support: Actively support,



troubleshoot, and optimize mission-critical workloads spanning dev environments through to production, leading root-cause analyses to remediate complex platform issues.
- Cooperative Version Control: Champion Git-based source control management and collaborative technical development best practices across the engineering squad.

Skills & Experience

To be successful in this position, you will ideally bring:

- Technical Toolkit: Proven capability delivering production-grade cloud solutions across both Microsoft Azure and AWS ecosystems.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deep technical familiarity with declarative configuration tools such as Bicep, ARM templates, CloudFormation, or equivalent infrastructure languages.
- DevOps & Scripting Pipelines: Solid experience with Azure DevOps, Git-based workflows, and strong scripting automation using PowerShell and CLI-based tools.
- End-to-End Delivery: Robust capability integrating across complex networking, identity, and platform layers, with the professional maturity to guide a solution from initial design through to build, deployment, and live operational support.
- Capabilities Alignment: Indicative alignment with SFIA Level 5 (ITOP, SINT) and Level 4 to 5 (PROG).
- Desirable Assets: Relevant Azure or AWS technical certifications; practical experience navigating hybrid networking topologies, secure cloud governance models, or secure, DevOps-focused federal delivery environments.
