Senior Cloud Engineer (Cloud Systems Integration Lead)

Indigo Industries supports APEX, a DoD experimentation program that puts new technologies in front of warfighters and measures how they perform. We’re hiring a hands-on cloud engineer to lead how APEX’s knowledge- and data-management tools get deployed into the government’s classified cloud environments (JCDE / Morpheus).

You’ll be the technical lead who makes the integration actually work - architecting the deployment, standing up secure pipelines, and serving as the go-to engineer at experimentation sites.

Core responsibilities

• Architect and deploy APEX cloud capabilities into classified environments, including edge compute integration.
• Build and manage secure CI/CD pipelines and network layouts across high- and low-side environments.
• Drive the security and compliance path - RMF, ATO lifecycle, and frameworks like NIST, FedRAMP, and CMMC.
• Integrate with external DoD networks and databases: APIs, data schemas, feature requests.
• Provide on-site technical support and SME guidance at experimentation locations.
• Translate mission requirements into technical specs for enterprise IT partners.

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• 8+ years in cloud/systems engineering (strong candidates with 5+ years and direct DoD experience considered).
• Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure in classified environments.
• Proven experience with DoD RMF, ATO, and DevSecOps processes.
• IAT/IAM Level II or III cert (Security+, CISSP, or CISM).
• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, IT, Cybersecurity, or related field.

Nice to have

• A cloud architecture cert (AWS Solutions Architect, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect).
• Experience with Test & Evaluation or Mission Engineering environments.
• Familiarity with DoD database management and data architecture for knowledge-management tools.

At Indigo Industries, you’ll do hands-on technical work on a mission that matters - and we back that up with benefits that support your life outside of it:

-Paid time off - all federal holidays plus three weeks of accrued paid vacation. -Employer-paid health insurance - Indigo currently covers the individual health insurance premium for eligible employees after a 30-day waiting period.
