Participate in cross-functional initiatives and projects.
Evaluate, install, and support new internal products and services.
Document and enhance IT policies, procedures, and system processes.
Collaborate with FedOps, Security, Compliance, and SRE teams to ensure system availability, integrity, and regulatory compliance (e.g., FedRAMP High, CJIS, DoD IL4/5).
Troubleshoot issues with root cause analysis and complete follow-up documentation.
Monitor performance in a 24x7 environment and implement proactive solutions.
Support VDI environments (e.g., AWS Workspaces), cloud-native tools, and identity integrations.
Create and maintain operational documentation and compliance artifacts for audits and reviews.
What You’ll Need:
U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain or maintain federal security clearance.
3–6 years of experience in platform, systems, or cloud infrastructure engineering.
Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud or similar regulated cloud environments.
Strong background in Linux administration, scripting (Python, Bash), and monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).
Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53).
Experience with VDI solutions, identity management systems (e.g., SAML, AD/LDAP), and network configuration.
Version control (e.g., Git), Agile methodologies, and ticketing systems (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow).
Bonus Points:
AWS certifications (e.g., SysOps Administrator, Solutions Architect – Associate or higher).
Experience working within or alongside U.S. Federal or DoD environments.
Knowledge of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and secure integration practices.
Background in secure enclave operations, Zero Trust architectures, or cross-domain environments.
