## Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Cloud DevOps Engineer, Senior to design and operate secure CI/CD pipelines, platform tooling, and infrastructure-as-code for cloud-based systems supporting the program. You'll build the shared automation and platform capabilities other engineering teams rely on, with deep Linux systems administration and DevSecOps compliance woven into everything you deploy, * CI/CD pipeline architecture and platform tooling (Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and internal developer platform components such as Crossplane, Backstage, or Argo CD)

 * Infrastructure-as-code development and standards (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation) across platform components
 * Deep Linux/RHEL systems administration and hardening for platform infrastructure
 * Security compliance integration - NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs, and FedRAMP - built into deployment pipelines by default
 * Identity and access management, encryption, and network security implementation
 * Troubleshooting and root-cause resolution across the full technology stack What You'll Deliver
 * CI/CD pipelines and platform tooling that reduce friction for engineering teams building against them
 * Infrastructure and platform components delivered as reusable, version-controlled code
 * Security controls and compliance built into pipelines from the start, not applied as a remediation pass
 * Reliable, well-documented platform operations - runbooks, architecture decisions, and procedures
 * Measurable improvements in deployment frequency and reduced deployment time through automation
