The Classified Cloud & Platform Engineer joins the Cloud Networks team to design, modernize, and sustain infrastructure for classified computing environments. This role involves assessing inherited systems to remediate architectural deficiencies and establishing repeatable engineering practices for mission-critical operations. The engineer will build secure hybrid connectivity, manage network segmentation, and develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, and Python. Key responsibilities include deploying Windows and Linux systems, managing virtualization, and implementing security controls like DISA STIGs and RMF requirements in air-gapped or restricted-connectivity environments. The position focuses on solving technical debt and security gaps within DoD Impact Level 5 and higher platforms, ensuring reliable, scalable, and hardened infrastructure for defense technology applications while maintaining strict classification boundaries and authorization requirements.
Design, modernize, and sustain classified cloud, hybrid, and on-premises infrastructure.
Engineer DoD IL5+ environments with secure connectivity and network segmentation.
Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation using Terraform, Ansible, or Python.
Deploy and maintain Windows and Linux systems, virtualization, and virtual desktop infrastructure.
Establish hardened system images, configuration baselines, and vulnerability remediation processes.
Implement technical controls and maintain security evidence for RMF/DAAPM authorization processes.
Establish engineering standards for change control, monitoring, logging, and incident response.
Remediate architectural deficiencies and technical debt to improve system reliability and scalability.
