## Description

We are seeking a Cloud Platform Engineer to join our team at GDIT. As a Cloud Platform Engineer, you will implement Azure platform services, develop and maintain version-controlled IaC modules, build and operate internal GitLab/Jenkins pipelines, and integrate platform telemetry with Azure Monitor, Sentinel, Dynatrace, ServiceNow, and the enterprise observability architecture.

Key Responsibilities:

- Implement Azure platform services, landing-zone components, network integration, policy, logging, identity hooks, key/secrets management, and workload hosting patterns under the Principal Cloud Architect's direction.

- Develop and maintain version-controlled IaC modules using Terraform, Bicep/ARM, Ansible, or approved equivalents; enforce peer review, testing, and release discipline.

- Build and operate internal GitLab/Jenkins or equivalent pipelines, container platforms, registries, package repositories, image repositories, and artifact mirrors for disconnected delivery.

- Implement software supply-chain controls including SBOM generation, dependency and image scanning, signing, provenance, allowlists, and promotion gates.

- Develop hardened container images, deployment templates, configuration standards, and environment-specific overlays for applications, data services, and AI inference workloads.

- Automate platform provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, certificate/secret rotation, compliance checks, and routine operations.

- Integrate platform telemetry with Azure Monitor, Sentinel, Dynatrace, ServiceNow, and the enterprise observability architecture.

- Partner with Security and RMF staff to implement controls and produce reusable evidence from code, pipeline, scan, and configuration outputs.

- Troubleshoot complex platform failures, lead technical recovery when assigned, document root causes, and convert lessons into platform improvements.

- Mentor engineers, conduct code/design reviews, and help domain teams adopt approved platform patterns rather than building shadow infrastructure.

Required Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or related STEM field, or approved equivalent experience.

- Active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance.

- 8+ years of cloud, platform, systems, or DevSecOps engineering experience, including 3+ years delivering production platform automation.

- Hands-on Azure or Azure Government experience with networking, compute, storage, identity integration, policy, monitoring, and secure configuration.

- Strong IaC experience with Terraform, Bicep/ARM, Ansible, or equivalent, including module design, state/change management, testing, and peer-reviewed promotion.

- Experience building or operating CI/CD and artifact/container services inside enterprise or disconnected boundaries using GitLab, Jenkins, Nexus/Artifactory, Harbor, Kubernetes/OpenShift, or comparable platforms.

- Strong Linux and Windows administration fundamentals plus proficiency in Python, PowerShell, Bash, or another automation language.

- Experience with container hardening, image/dependency scanning, SBOMs, secrets management, certificate handling, and rollback/recovery.

- Working knowledge of RMF/STIG controls, change management, operational acceptance, logging/audit, and classified data-handling requirements.

- Demonstrated ability to lead technical work, review others' code/designs, communicate risk early, and operate calmly during production issues.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Azure/IaC lane: Azure Administrator Associate or DevOps Engineer Expert and relevant Terraform certification.

- Experience supporting GPU/AI platforms, ML model artifacts, offline Python wheelhouses, or local inference services.

- Experience integrating ServiceNow change/CMDB records with pipeline and deployment events.

- Experience with policy-as-code, compliance-as-code, infrastructure testing, chaos/resilience testing, or FinOps automation.

Benefits:

- Comprehensive benefits and wellness packages.

- 401K with company match.

- Competitive pay and paid time off.

- Award-winning culture of innovation and a military-friendly workplace.
