- Automation-First Philosophy: Play a vital role in the department's large-scale transition from an Azure-only platform into an advanced multi-cloud setting spanning Microsoft Azure and AWS. You will champion an engineering model focused heavily on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), reusable automation patterns, and robust DevOps pipelines.
- Blended Collaborative Squads: Deliver high-quality work across both cutting-edge project delivery and operational sustainment as part of a high-performing team composed of public sector personnel and industry-leading vendors.

What's on Offer

- Contract/Engagement: Initial 36-month contract + potential extension options.

Role & Responsibilities

- Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Engineering: Design and implement highly secure and reliable cloud infrastructure across both Azure and AWS platforms leveraging modern IaC methodologies.
- CI/CD Pipeline Management: Develop and maintain optimized CI/CD pipelines (utilizing Azure DevOps YAML) to drive seamless, automated software and infrastructure deployments.
- 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.
- Collaborative 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.

Eligibility & Clearance Requirements

- Security Clearance: Due to the secure nature of this federal environment, candidates must hold a current NV1 security clearance, with an NV2 clearance highly preferred.
