Our team is creating cloud capabilities across GAO. As a cloud engineer, we need you to create cloud-based technical architectures and cost estimates and build out environments to satisfy the GAO Innovation Lab's objectives. GAO aims to modernize its IT solutions to realize the benefits of new design approaches, features, and functionalities like modular builds, loose coupling, micro services, containers, cybersecurity resilience, access controls, and disaster recovery. Modern solutions must be future-ready, adaptable, resilient, responsive to changing business needs, and be able to shift away from on premises infrastructure to cloud architecture, which may include hybrid cloud services. You will work with the GAO Innovation Lab's team to analyze solution options and plan cloud migration and build activities. We aim for high-touch, transparent, standards-based and compliance solutions for our customers. Our program includes projects that vary from engagement to engagement as we research current environments to propose new technical solutions and architectures. Our solutions include both large- and small-application portfolios with a goal to design with DevSecOps paradigms in mind. A sampling of job activities include: * Conduct IT services architecture planning and engineering necessary to design and deploy GAO Innovation Lab capabilities. * Create and execute migration plans for mission-critical software applications from on-prem to the cloud. * Assess and document the alignment of on-prem applications/services to GAO AWS environments. * Work cross-functionally across GAO groups to identify impacts in processes and business value for enterprise approaches, developing implementation plans and success objectives. * Develop baseline analyses of IT system and infrastructure requirements, demand, and total cost associated with IT commodities and services (including, but not limited to, networks, data centers, and applications). * Develop IT solutions, alternative analyses and business cases. * Conduct IT services architecture planning and engineering necessary to design and deploy GAO enterprise IT solutions. * Network engineering experience, specifically with Palo Alto. * Work cross-functionally across customer and GAO groups to identify impacts in processes and business value for enterprise approaches, developing implementation plans and success objectives.
