Job Description
Senior Cloud Platform Engineer (Top Secret) — Azure / AWS / Kubernetes
Location: Hybrid — within ~100 miles of Charlottesville, VA or Fort Belvoir, VA
Clearance Required: Active Top Secret (SCI eligible)
Employment Type: Full-Time
US Mission Overview
At Rackner, we support mission-critical federal programs by building and operating secure, cloud-native platforms across Azure and AWS.
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to design, implement, and maintain multi-cloud infrastructure in a classified / DoD environment. This role requires hands-on expertise in Azure Landing Zones, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and cloud security compliance (STIG).
This is a high-priority, fast-moving opportunity supporting a competitive program — candidates must be ready to operate at a platform ownership level.
Responsibilities
Design, implement, and maintain Azure Landing Zones including governance, policies, and secure configurations
Build and manage multi-cloud environments (Azure + AWS) including networking, DNS, TLS, and identity integration
Deploy and manage infrastructure using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) in production environments
Operate and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes (AKS/EKS)
Harden cloud infrastructure to meet STIG and DoD security requirements
Support DevSecOps pipelines using CI/CD and GitOps methodologies
Troubleshoot and resolve issues across cloud infrastructure, containers, and networking
Collaborate with engineering and mission stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable systems
Required Qualifications
Active Top Secret clearance (SCI eligible required)
7+ years experience in cloud engineering or DevSecOps within a secure / DoD environment
Proven experience designing and implementing Azure Landing Zones
Hands-on experience with Terraform (IaC) in production
Experience with Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, or similar)
Experience with Azure and AWS (multi-cloud environments)
Familiarity with cloud networking (VPC/VNet, DNS, load balancing, TLS)
Experience with STIG compliance and secure system configurations
Active Security+ (IAT Level II) or equivalent DoD 8570 certification
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with AWS Direct Connect or advanced networking
Familiarity with Crossplane or platform engineering frameworks
Current Azure or AWS certifications
Experience supporting federal / defense programs
Why Join Rackner
Work on mission-critical systems supporting national security
Operate at the platform level — not just ticket-based support
Exposure to multi-cloud architecture (Azure + AWS)
Opportunities for career growth, certifications, and advanced training
Collaborative, engineering-focused environment
Benefits
401K with 100% match up to 6%
Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
Life Insurance + Short & Long-Term Disability
Generous PTO
Weekly pay schedule
Home office & equipment support
Fully funded certifications and training
