  • Implement strategies for performance optimization and ensure the scalability of cloud systems.
  • Collaborate with DevOps and development teams to streamline deployment processes and enhance operational efficiency.
  • Work closely with IA/Cybersecurity teams to evaluate and mitigate security risks, monitor vulnerability alerts (IAVAs), perform security scanning, and apply STIG scripts, patches, and updates.
  • Prioritize and manage operational environment assessments and facilitate user participation in test and evaluation activities.
  • Participate in mission/operation readiness reviews.
  • Establish and enforce data and configuration management practices with an emphasis on cybersecurity, in collaboration with system administrators, network engineers, and other stakeholders.
This is a hybrid role with a combination of onsite work at Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB) and remote work. Candidate must be able to report onsite as required.

    • AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate or Professional
    • AWS Certified Developer - Associate
    • AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate

  • Deep understanding of AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, VPC, CloudFormation, etc.) and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).
  • Proven experience managing and optimizing AWS cloud infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure management tools (e.g., AWS CloudFormation, Terraform).
  • Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills in AWS environments.
  • Ability to optimize cloud resources for cost-efficiency and performance.
  • Basic knowledge of networking concepts such as VPNs, load balancers, and firewalls.
  • Experience with systems administration (Linux/Windows).
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity protocols, compliance, and risk management frameworks (RMF).
  • Experience supporting Authority to Operate (ATO) packages.
  • Familiarity with systems engineering processes, including system integration, segment testing, and end-to-end testing.
  • Experience working in an Agile, collaborative team environment.
  • Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while contributing effectively to a team.
  • TS/SCI clearance required or equivalent.

  • Familiarity with AWS GovCloud or other government cloud environments.
  • Expertise in AWS microservices architecture and deployment.
