## About the Role

Architect and deliver scalable, cloud-native microservices across AWS, Azure, or GCP. Lead containerization, Kubernetes deployment strategies, multi-cluster operations, and service-mesh integrations. Design enterprise CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, secure packaging, artifact governance, and multi-enclave deployments. Drive cloud security posture improvements (IAM, secrets management, network policies, compliance controls). Partner with product teams, SREs, cybersecurity, and mission stakeholders to align cloud solutions with system-of-systems architecture. Troubleshoot high-complexity production issues across distributed systems, networking, and cloud infrastructure. Produce high-quality architecture diagrams, operational runbooks, technical approaches, and decision rationale for leadership. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; elevate team cloud practices and engineering standards. Lead design and development of cloud-native services, including microservices architectures, API
interfaces, and distributed data flows. Manage full Kubernetes lifecycle-cluster architecture, networking, autoscaling, observability stacks, and cluster hardening. Define and maintain CI/CD architecture that supports multiple enclaves, automated quality gates, SBOM generation, and mission-ready release pipelines. Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize) that ensure consistent, auditable, repeatable deployments. Integrate advanced telemetry, including distributed tracing, metrics pipelines, operational dashboards, and automated alerting. Ensure compliance with cloud security frameworks, zero-trust principles, and enclave-specific access controls. Lead technical planning, architecture reviews, risk analysis, and trade studies to shape long-term cloud roadmaps. Mentor engineers, guide code reviews, improve team processes, and evangelize best practices across cloud engineering and DevSecOps. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information
Systems, or equivalent experience. 5+ years of professional cloud engineering experience, including hands-on work with AWS, Azure, or GCP. Strong proficiency with Kubernetes (deployments, networking, scaling, operators, observability). Deep experience with containerization (Docker) and microservice design patterns. Proficiency in a modern programming language (Python, C++ preferred). Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and secure release workflows. Solid understanding of distributed systems, cloud networking, and API design. Ability to obtain and maintain any required security clearances. Experience architecting mission-critical or highly regulated cloud systems (DoD, IC, aerospace, critical infrastructure, etc.). Expertise in Kubernetes multi-cluster management, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), or advanced cluster hardening. Proficiency with IaC (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation) and GitOps workflows. Experience with event-driven or streaming
architectures (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub). Strong background in cloud security design: IAM, boundary protection, key management, policy-as-code. Experience leading technical teams, driving architecture decisions, or serving as a technical SME. Cloud certifications: AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Engineer, CKA/CKAD/CKS.
