Cloud Engineer

Location: Annapolis Junction, MD

The Opportunity

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing infrastructure architect, you know how to take advantage of cloud capabilities. On our team of experienced professionals, you’ll use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to support your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. We’re looking for someone like you to help transform our managed platforms to support various missions.

You’ll closely collaborate with fellow cloud architects and engineers specializing in Amazon Commercial, GovCloud, and Azure to build, evolve, maintain, and secure out cloud solution components. You’ll have the chance to work within a DevOps framework to create and manage container apps and use products like Kubernetes to further the mission. With access to our internal tooling and processes you’ll have the space and time to explore different ways of solving our clients’ problems, and you’ll partner with stakeholders and your team to deliver the right technical solutions.

Whether modernizing legacy computing platforms and applications or creating new ones from scratch, you’ll have the latest tech and brightest teammates at your fingertips.

Grow your skills at the leading edge of innovation.
