SAIC is seeking a Cloud Engineer to design, build, secure, and operate cloud
infrastructure and data platforms for U.S. Government customers. You will work
across AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), from the secure cloud
foundation, to the data pipelines that run on it, to the AI-enabled automation
that makes both faster and safer to operate.
You will join a small, senior team in a regulated environment and work
code-first: infrastructure, pipelines, and deployments are defined in version
control, reviewed, and repeatable. You will work directly with customers and own
the delivery of your piece of the solution from design through production
support. This role can be worked remotely within the United states for the right
candidate.
Job Responsibilities
Design, deploy, and migrate secure, highly available environments in AWS and
OCI, including network, identity, compute, storage, database, and Kubernetes
(EKS, OKE) components.
Architect and deploy compliant enclaves that meet government security
requirements (for example SCCA, DoD cloud security, FedRAMP).
Develop and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible,
CloudFormation, OCI Resource Manager) and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins)
for infrastructure, applications, and data workloads.
Design, build, and operate Python data pipelines that ingest, validate,
transform, and publish data into cloud data stores, using scheduled and
event-driven services (for example Kubernetes jobs, S3, SQS/SNS, Lambda, Step
Functions) with built-in data quality, retries, and lineage.
Apply AI and LLM services (for example Amazon Bedrock) to automate operations
and data work, such as incident triage, runbook generation, and
classification steps in pipelines, with the validation, human review, and
auditability a regulated environment requires.
Implement and maintain security controls (IAM, network segmentation,
encryption, secrets management) and run regular vulnerability and
configuration scans, including ACAS, tracking findings to closure.
Monitor and tune performance, cost, and availability; diagnose and resolve
complex issues with minimal downtime.
Maintain designs, diagrams, asset inventories, SOPs, and the knowledge base;
train and assist users and teammates.
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related
field and 9 years of experience. Masters and 7 Yyears of experience.
Security+ Certification
Candidates must be U.S. Citizens
Candidates must have an interim Secret clearance before starting and have the
ability to get a Secret clearance.
Hands-on cloud engineering on AWS and/or OCI: compute, storage, virtual
networking, load balancers, managed databases, and IAM.
Strong infrastructure as code skills (Terraform preferred).
Python proficiency for automation and data pipelines; Bash or PowerShell.
Experience building or operating data pipelines (batch, scheduled, or
event-driven).
CI/CD experience (GitLab, Jenkins, or similar) and working knowledge of
containers and Kubernetes.
Monitoring and logging experience (for example CloudWatch, OCI Monitoring,
Prometheus, Grafana).
Practical experience, or demonstrated ability, applying AI and LLM services
to automation and data workflows.
Solid understanding of cloud security best practices, and experience
preparing technical documentation.
Strong problem-solving and communication skills; able to work with senior
customers, collaborate in a distributed team, and manage multiple priorities.
