## Description

Reporting to the Cloud / Enterprise Architecture Lead, this role is responsible for building and operating the multi-cloud landing zone environment using infrastructure-as-code and DevSecOps practices.
Where the EA Lead sets architecture standards and policy, this role executes and maintains them in production.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on cloud infrastructure engineer who writes automation before clicking buttons and treats configuration as code.
The right candidate has deployed and operated cloud landing zones in federal environments and is comfortable working across Azure, AWS, and GCP with consistent tooling and governance discipline. **Job Location:** This is a remote-friendly position with occasional onsite requirements in the Washington, DC Metro area.
This position requires that the job be performed in the United States.
If you accept this position, you should note that ICF does monitor employee work locations and blocks access from foreign locations/foreign IP addresses and also prohibits personal VPN connections. **What You'll Be Doing** + Deploy and manage cloud landing zone architectures across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform using repeatable, automated provisioning with identity-first controls, guardrails, network security, and policy enforcement. + Implement infrastructure and policy as code usingIaCtemplates, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD pipelines so environments can be created, updated, and audited consistently and without manual intervention. + Build andmaintainsystem integrations using APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and event streams, with propersecretsmanagement, least-privilege scoping, error handling, and logging. + Deploy and manage Azure Virtual Desktop for remote access scenarios and specific user personas. + Manage DNS-as-code for all agency platforms and services, including certificates and
