Are you ready to harness the transformative power of cloud technology in service of national security? Join The Red Gate Group as a Cloud Engineer supporting the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), where your expertise will directly contribute to safeguarding our nation against emerging threats.
While everyone talks about "leveraging the cloud," few get to do it at this scale and with this level of impact. Here, you'll architect and deploy cutting-edge cloud solutions that enhance our nation's ability to detect, deter, and counter weapons of mass destruction threats worldwide.
About This Role
You'll be at the forefront of cloud innovation, designing and implementing complex, large-scale deployments across major cloud platforms. Working alongside brilliant cloud architects and engineers, you'll tackle everything from greenfield projects to sophisticated legacy modernization efforts. Your work will span the full spectrum of cloud engineering—from initial architecture reviews to hands-on deployment of distributed analytics platforms that operate at massive scale.
What You'll Do
Engineer Cloud Solutions That Matter
Design and deploy robust cloud infrastructure supporting critical ingest, storage, and analytics solutions using distributed technologies
Architect secure, scalable solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP platforms
Lead complex migrations from on-premises environments to cloud-native architectures
Build Modern DevOps Pipelines
Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Git, TeamCity, and other cutting-edge tools
Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud platforms
Develop automation solutions using Ansible, Git, and infrastructure-as-code principles
Secure Mission-Critical Systems
Apply security best practices to AWS deployments and multi-cloud environments
Navigate classified environment processes and protocols with precision
Ensure compliance with stringent defense industry security standards
Collaborate and Lead
Participate in high-level architecture reviews with senior technical leadership
Influence and guide software development teams using Agile methodologies
Mentor team members and contribute to technical decision-making
Qualifications
5+ years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud environments (AWS/Azure)
Active TS/SCI clearance
Proven track record of successful application migrations from on-premises to cloud
Kubernetes deployment experience across major cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure)
CI/CD pipeline expertise with Jenkins, Git, TeamCity, or similar tools
Automation experience using Ansible, Git, and related technologies
Deep knowledge of cloud and virtualization technologies including Docker, VMware, OpenShift
Strong Linux/UNIX administration and automation skills
Solid foundation in system administration principles and classified environment operations
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with Agile development methodologies
Track record of influencing and leading software development teams
Advanced Linux knowledge (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) with web technologies (Apache, Nginx)
Expertise in modern protocols and architectures: Microservices, SOA, HTTP, SSL/TLS, LDAP
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
Security+ Certification or equivalent
