- Hybrid Cloud Expertise:Proven, hands-on experience designing architectures that span AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and on-premise VMware vSphere environments (vCenter, ESXi, NSX).
- DevSecOps Tooling:Deep practical knowledge of containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD orchestration (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins), and integrating security scanners (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify, Twistlock).
- IaC Mastery:Extensive experience with AWS CloudFormation and/or Terraform for deploying infrastructure in highly regulated environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical discipline.
- TS/SCI preferred
