## About the Role

* 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).

 * Experience with Test & Evaluation or Mission Engineering environments.
 * Familiarity with DoD database management and data architecture for knowledge-management tools.

## Description

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.
