Описание вакансии

Senior Cloud Platform Engineer (Multi-Cloud | Top Secret | DevSecOps)

Hybrid: Charlottesville, VA or Arlington, VA (2–6x/month) Clearance: Active Top Secret (SCI Eligible Required)

Why This Role Matters

At Rackner, we don’t just deploy infrastructure: we engineer secure, mission-critical cloud platforms that power national security programs.

This role is part of a competitive, high-visibility effort supporting a leading federal AI and multi-cloud initiative. The first team to deliver a candidate who passes will secure the position; meaning your impact is immediate and measurable.

As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you will:

• Own and shape secure multi-cloud environments (Azure + AWS)
• Design and enforce Azure Landing Zones and cloud governance at scale
• Build hardened, compliant infrastructure aligned to DoD standards
• Operate as a technical leader across DevSecOps, platform engineering, and cloud architecture

This is not a support role. This is platform ownership in a regulated, high-impact environment.

What You’ll Do

• Own Azure Landing Zone architecture — design, implement, and enforce governance policies across environments
• Engineer secure multi-cloud platforms integrating Azure and AWS (networking, DNS, TLS, identity, access)
• Deploy Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across production systems using CI/CD and GitOps methodologies
• Containerize and scale systems using Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) for resilient, repeatable deployments
• Harden infrastructure (Azure VMs, cloud services) to meet STIG and DoD compliance requirements
• Drive technical decisions across platform architecture, performance, and scalability
• Collaborate across engineering, DevSecOps, and mission stakeholders to deliver secure, production-ready systems

What You Bring

Must-Have Experience

• 7+ years building cloud-based software systems in secure government environments
• Proven ownership of Azure Landing Zones (design, implementation, policy enforcement)
• Hands-on Terraform experience in production (CI/CD pipelines, automation, GitOps)
• 2+ years Kubernetes experience (AKS, EKS, or similar) in production environments
• Multi-cloud experience (Azure + AWS) including networking (VPC/VNet, DNS, TLS)
• Experience implementing cloud security, STIG compliance, and hardened infrastructure
• Security+ (IAT Level II) and at least one cloud certification (Azure or AWS)

Nice to Have

• Experience with AWS Direct Connect / advanced networking
• Familiarity with Crossplane or platform engineering frameworks
• Updated Azure/AWS certifications
• Experience operating in DevSecOps / mission-critical DoD environments

What You’ll Gain

• Ownership at the platform level — not just execution
• Direct impact on national security and AI-driven federal programs
• Exposure to multi-cloud architecture at scale (Azure + AWS)
• Opportunity to shape cloud governance, security, and infrastructure standards
• Continuous investment in your growth through fully funded certifications and training
• A high-trust environment where technical judgment and decision-making matter
