establish accountability and continuous improvement across engineering teams.\nCreate and review architecture diagrams, engineering designs, migration runbooks, implementation plans, technical documentation, and decision records; present recommendations to customer technical review and governance forums.\nBasic Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline (or equivalent relevant experience, subject to program requirements).\n8+ years of progressively responsible cloud/infrastructure engineering or architecture experience, including 3+ years supporting federal government contracts or programs.\n4+ years of direct technical people management or engineering team leadership, with demonstrated responsibility for a sizable, multidisciplinary engineering organization.\nStrong hands-on technical background designing, integrating, and troubleshooting enterprise AWS and/or Azure cloud solutions;

demonstrated ability to lead technical discussions and advise government stakeholders.\nClearance Requirement:\nCurrent and active Public Trust, consistent with the existing USCG Cloud Modernization position requirements; ability to maintain required access.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience supporting DHS, U.S. Coast Guard, DoD, or other large federal civilian IT modernization programs.\nExperience managing engineering teams of 10+ personnel and coordinating multiple technical workstreams, vendors, and subcontractor partners.\nAdvanced AWS or Azure architecture certification (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional or Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert).\nPMP, Certified ScrumMaster, or comparable project/delivery management credential.\nSecurity+ (or equivalent), CISSP, CISM, or relevant federal cybersecurity experience.\nExperience with AWS landing zones, Azure architecture, ICAM, AVD, network modernization, Zero Trust, and cloud security engineering.\nExperience leading architectural governance, cloud cost/performance optimization, and technical modernization roadmaps.\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
