  • Support CI / CD pipeline automation, integration, and management.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, security personnel, and government stakeholders to support development and deployment workflows.
  • Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure cloud services meet SLAs.
  • Implement cloud best practices and ensure compliance with federal security standards (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST).
  • Provide documentation and knowledge sharing with the broader engineering team.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Willing to obtain a security clearance.
  • 4+ years of experience in cloud engineering, with at least 2 years on GCP.
  • Hands-on experience with GCP services such as Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, VPC, IAM, GKE, and BigQuery.

  • Experience working in an Agile / Scrum environment.

    • Preferred Skills

  • GCP Professional Cloud Architect or DevOps Engineer certification.
  • Experience supporting federal government contracts and understanding of ATO processes.
  • Familiarity with other cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) is a plus.
