As Kris, Lead Cloud Solutions Engineer, explains
"Life as a Cloud Engineer is an exceptionally rewarding role where no two days are truly the same. You can be troubleshooting Python code in a Lambda function, designing complex solutions, presenting to customers and building those same solutions using Infrastructure as Code and DevOps tooling. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn."
You'll join a highly collaborative Infrastructure Team made up of cloud, platform, systems administration and engineering specialists, working across public cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments while solving complex technical challenges for multiple customers.
What You'll Do
Design, build and maintain AWS and hybrid-cloud platforms supporting national security missions
Administer and support Linux and Windows-based infrastructure within secure enterprise environments
Troubleshoot and optimise IP networking, routing and connectivity across cloud and hybrid systems
Automate deployment, configuration and operational processes using Infrastructure as Code and configuration management tools
Build, deploy and support containerised applications using Kubernetes and Amazon EKS within secure AWS environments
Collaborate with engineers, architects and customers to deliver reliable, scalable and secure technology solutions
Continuously develop your skills and maintain relevant industry certifications
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical discipline, equivalent qualification, or relevant industry experience
AWS certification at Practitioner or Associate level, with experience designing, deploying and administering cloud solutions
Experience administering Linux and Windows operating systems within large enterprise environments
Knowledge of IPv4 networking, including routing, subnetting and troubleshooting connectivity issues
Experience automating infrastructure and operational tasks using tools such as Ansible, Bash, PowerShell, Puppet or Python
Experience working with containerisation technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, including deploying and managing workloads within Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service)
We know not every candidate will meet every requirement. If you're excited by the opportunity and believe you have the skills and potential to succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
