Ensure all cloud solutions meet FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 compliance standards

Implement monitoring, logging, and security controls (CloudWatch, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Config, Inspector)

Manage identity and access management across platforms (Active Directory, SAML, IAM Federation)

Optimize application and database performance for .NET, Java, and SQL workloads within AWS

Produce detailed architecture diagrams, migration roadmaps, and operational runbooks for ongoing management

Collaborate closely with agency stakeholders, security, DevOps, and application development teams

Provide technical leadership and mentoring to cloud engineers and development teams

Demonstrate strong experience with both Linux and Windows environments and modern DevOps toolchains (CI/CD, Git, Jenkins, Docker)

Maintain excellent communication and coordination skills across technical and non-technical teams

Preferred Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional (or equivalent)
