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. For the right candidate, this
position may be remote anywhere in the US.
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.
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.

Experience building or operating data pipelines (batch, scheduled, or
event-driven).
