Cloud Developer/Integrator

Purpose and Impact

This team is focused on providing cloud-based geolocation solutions in near-real-time directly to decision makers and warfighters around the world. They define requirements and determine and solutions to enhance capabilities and integrate applications and data formats.

Essential Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure (e.g., modernization, migration, roadmaps, etc.), ensuring that systems are designed and maintained following best practices and governance requirements.

• Build reusable modules (e.g., Helm Charts, Terraform, etc.) and enforce development standards for creation and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (laC) using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, etc.

• Develop and maintain reusable modules (e.g., Helm Charts, Terraform, etc.) and enforce development standards for creation and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

• Continuously monitor the health and performance of the infrastructure and systems using logging and alerting, identify issues and implement solutions for improved efficiency.

• Provide strategies for failure/recovery (e.g., backup, high availability, etc.), cost optimization (e.g., tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling, etc.) and benefit analysis of cloud services.

• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system capabilities and efficiency.

• Contribute to deliverables (e.g., architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures) and performance metrics, where applicable, and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams.

• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and recommend enhancements to current systems.

Minimum Requirements (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities)

• Proven progressive responsibility and experience, collectively, with the following:

  • Experience provisioning, configuring, and managing cloud infrastructure and services (e.g., compute, storage, networking, IAM)

  • Knowledge of containers and platform workloads (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE)
  • Experience configuring monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, etc. and responding to incidents
  • Experience implementing and testing backup, disaster recovery, and high-availability strategies
  • Experience managing secrets and key management with tools such as KMS/KeyVault/Secret Manager, certificates, and rotation policies
  • Experience optimizing cloud cost and performance (e.g., tagging, budgets, rightsizing, autoscaling) and producing usage/cost reports
  • Experience troubleshooting cloud infrastructure issues across networking (DNS, routing, VPN), security, and service limits
  • Experience documenting architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures
  • Experience with Linux OS

Career Path
