Cloud Solutions Engineer (Data & Platform)

This role focuses on deploying, configuring, testing, securing, and operationalizing integrated cloud-based capabilities in secure or mission-oriented environments that support advanced analytics, automation, and AI-enabled mission capabilities.

We are seeking a highly skilled, hands-on engineer who can integrate capabilities and seamlessly connect data, APIs, services, databases, software applications, and cloud platforms into working mission capabilities. The emphasis for this position is on practical implementation, automation, DevSecOps, data integration, and operational reliability rather than traditional requirements-focused systems engineering.

Depending on your specific background and track (Data vs. Platform), your responsibilities will include a blend of the following:

Infrastructure & Platform Engineering:

· Implement or maintain infrastructure-as-code, automation, and configuration management using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or comparable platforms.

· Install, configure, harden, and troubleshoot Linux-based and cloud-based infrastructure services.

· Support testing and validation of integrated cloud, data, and application capabilities.

· Help ensure solutions are implemented in a secure, repeatable, resilient, and mission-ready manner.

Data Engineering & Integration:

· Design, develop, test, and support cloud-based data engineering capabilities.

· Build, maintain, and troubleshoot ETL pipelines and data workflows.

· Develop or integrate RESTful APIs, services, and data-driven applications where needed.

· Document data flows, interfaces, system dependencies, code comments, integration approaches, and technical decisions.
