Overview:
Join our mission-driven team supporting the Veterans Affairs Benefits Integrated Delivery (VA BID) initiative, an enterprise-wide modernization program aimed at improving the delivery of benefits and services to U.S. veterans and their families. The goal is to enhance the user experience through faster, more secure, and reliable access to benefits by integrating cloud-native technologies, automation, and scalable infrastructure.
As a Cloud Engineer on our Appeals System Team, you will play a critical role in transforming legacy applications into cloud-native services that streamline workflows and elevate performance. You'll leverage your cloud expertise to optimize our DevSecOps pipelines, improve deployment cycles, and support the system's resilience and scalability, all while working with a passionate team focused on making a tangible impact for our nation's veterans.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the design, integration, and maintenance of scalable cloud infrastructure solutions in AWS environments.
* Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automate system provisioning using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and Bash.
* Support CI/CD pipeline development and integrate security practices into the development lifecycle (DevSecOps).
* Administer and maintain container platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure cloud solutions are secure, reliable, and compliant with VA standards.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
* Proactively identify and address system vulnerabilities using industry-standard security scanning tools.
Requirements:

* Experience with developing services, including Lambda
* Experience with leveraging Cloud service providers, including AWS and Azure, to create automated DevSecOps pipelines
* Knowledge of Agile methodologies or the software development life cycle (SDLC)
* Ability to obtain a security clearance
Nice to Have:
