About The Position

We are looking for a Software Engineer – Cloud Infrastructure with strong multi-cloud (especially Google Cloud Platform / GCP) experience — capable of designing, deploying, and operating secure, high-performance cloud infrastructure. The role involves building and maintaining cloud landing zones, CI/CD pipelines, containerized and serverless architectures, and ensuring security and compliance for federally relevant environments.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or relevant field, or equivalent work experience
Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — design, deployment, operations, networking, IAM.
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools: Terraform, GCP Cloud Deployment Manager, or equivalent.
Proficiency with containerization & orchestration tools — Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, serverless functions.
Strong scripting or coding skills — e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell — for automation and tooling.
Solid understanding of cloud networking , VPC design, subnets, firewall/ security groups, connectivity, identity & access control (IAM).
Experience building/maintaining CI/CD pipelines for both infrastructure and application deployments.
Good communication skills, ability to collaborate across teams, produce documentation
Secret Clearance Required

Nice To Haves

Experience with other clouds (AWS, Azure) is a plus — familiarity with hybrid or multi-cloud environments.

Responsibilities

Design and implement multi-cloud infrastructure solutions (primarily GCP; AWS / Azure as needed) that meet performance, cost, security, and regulatory requirements.
Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager (for GCP), or equivalent tooling.
Set up and manage cloud landing zones, networking (VPCs, subnet design), firewall rules, IAM/roles, identity & access control aligned to least-privilege principles.
Deploy, manage, and scale containerized or serverless workloads (e.g., Kubernetes / GKE, Docker, Cloud Run / Lambdas) as part of enterprise-scale architectures.
Architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and applications — enabling automated builds, deployments, rollback, and environment promotion (dev → test → prod) under compliance controls.
Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and automated remediation to ensure high availability, security posture, and performance of cloud systems.
Collaborate with application, security, operations and compliance teams to integrate infrastructure and platform capabilities into overall enterprise architecture.
Maintain documentation: network & architecture diagrams, runbooks, SOPs, security/compliance checklists.
Ensure compliance with relevant government or regulated-client standards (e.g., FedRAMP, DoD IL5/6, security clearance protocols) if required.
Continuously evaluate new cloud technologies / tools, recommend optimizations and improvements.
