As a Principal Cloud Engineer, you’ll be applying your hands-on expertise to the design, security, architecture, networking, governance, and automation of cloud platforms, leading and work shaping cloud projects, including advising the government on if and how to adopt cloud on a large scale, and lead projects that architect, implement, and operate secure systems in the cloud.

  • Writing code to automate the provisioning of cloud resources in a multi-cloud environment.

  • Candidates must have a history of strong verbal and written communication through things like code, interfaces, pull-request discussions, documentation, proposals, and presentations.
  • Ability to obtain a US Government issued security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Some sponsors will require a higher level of trust to work with their data. A pre-existing Secret or Top-Secret clearance is preferred.
  • Some other skills or qualifications-of-interest successful candidates might have:
    • At least 3 years of experience in a programming language like JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, etc.
    • Experience securing systems to compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53)
