## Description

We are seeking a highly experienced Platform Engineer to support the design, automation, deployment, integration, sustainment, and modernization of secure cloud and platform environments for advanced Navy and DoD capabilities. This role emphasizes Infrastructure as Code (IaC), scripting, automation, AWS GovCloud engineering, and secure platform operations across enterprise, cloud, containerized, and hybrid environments. The candidate will work with cross-functional engineering, cybersecurity, development, and operational teams to build and maintain scalable, repeatable, secure, and mission-ready platform solutions. The role requires strong technical judgment, hands-on engineering capability, and the ability to support both tactical implementation and strategic platform modernization across dynamic mission environments.
This role requires in-person support.
Duties:

 + Lead and support the design, implementation, automation, configuration, integration, and sustainment of secure platform environments across AWS GovCloud, enterprise, containerized, and hybrid architectures.
 + Develop, maintain, and improve Infrastructure as Code solutions to automate provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and sustainment of cloud and platform resources.
 + Use scripting and automation to streamline platform operations, reduce manual processes, improve repeatability, support troubleshooting, and enable efficient system administration across mission environments.
 + Support AWS GovCloud infrastructure development and operations by configuring, integrating, monitoring, and troubleshooting compute, storage, networking, identity, security, logging, and automation services.
 + Engineer and maintain operating system, identity, authentication, networking, storage, and application hosting environments to support secure and reliable mission platform operations.
 + Support containerized application platforms and orchestration environments by assisting with deployment, configuration, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting, and sustainment activities.
 + Apply cybersecurity and platform hardening practices by supporting secure configuration management, vulnerability remediation, patching, access control, compliance activities, and audit-ready documentation.
 + Provide senior-level technical leadership across cross-functional teams by troubleshooting complex platform issues, coordinating engineering priorities, documenting technical solutions, mentoring team members, and communicating technical risks and recommendations to program stakeholders.
