## About the role

Active U.S. Government security clearance preferred (Secret minimum for most engagements; TS or TS/SCI required for a subset). Candidates without an active clearance must be able to obtain one. Clearance level will be confirmed at offer.

## What they're looking for

- Design and maintain the reference cloud substrate: account structure, networking, and identity perimeter patterns that default to FedRAMP-aligned from day one and replicate across programs
- Build and own the shared Terraform module library as a product: versioned, documented, consumed confidently by program engineers you don't sit next to
- Operate the Kubernetes platform patterns programs adopt: cluster design, RBAC, network policies, autoscaling, upgrade strategy
- Build the CI/CD paved road (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or AWS-native) with security gates built in, so program teams deploy self-service without reinventing the pipeline
- Build observability patterns that travel: the dashboards, alerting, and SLO scaffolding a new program inherits rather than assembles
- Own cloud cost across the portfolio: forecast it, govern it, and surface it to delivery leadership before it becomes a surprise
