Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Azure Gov Cloud Engineer with deep expertise in designing, deploying, and supporting secure cloud environments within Microsoft Azure Government. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience building and enhancing Azure Landing Zones, supporting large-scale application migrations, and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions—primarily using Terraform. This role will collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect compliant, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions for mission-critical workloads.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain Azure Gov Cloud Landing Zones aligned with enterprise architecture, compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, DoD, etc.), and best practices.
- Lead and execute application migration initiatives, including assessment, planning, and deployment across Azure Gov Cloud environments.
- Develop, test, and deploy Terraform modules and pipelines to support IaC-based provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of cloud resources.
- Implement secure, scalable architectures including network segmentation, identity and access, policy enforcement, and monitoring.
- Collaborate with security, DevOps, and application teams to define and enforce operational standards and guardrails.
- Troubleshoot and optimize cloud infrastructure performance, availability, and cost efficiency.
- Maintain documentation for architecture diagrams, configuration standards, and operational procedures.
- Provide subject matter expertise on Azure Gov Cloud services, capabilities, and constraints.
Required Qualifications:
- 3–7+ years of experience engineering solutions in Azure; at least 2+ years with Azure Government Cloud.
- Demonstrated experience architecting and deploying Azure Landing Zones, including management groups, policies, RBAC, networking, and monitoring.
- Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, including module development, state management, CI/CD integration, and version control (Git).
- Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code, cloud automation practices, and DevOps methodologies.
- Experience migrating on-prem or multi-cloud applications to Azure (IaaS, PaaS, containers preferred).
- Solid knowledge of Azure networking (VNETs, NSGs/ASGs, firewalls, VPN/ExpressRoute), identity (Azure AD), and security controls.
- Familiarity with compliance requirements for government environments (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, IL2–IL6).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
