Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own infrastructure design decisions for mission-critical cloud environments. You'll set engineering direction for infrastructure-as-code, architect solutions for compute, storage, and networking at enterprise scale, and mentor the engineers building against your designs.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure design and architecture for mission-critical workloads, including compute, storage, and networking at enterprise scale
Infrastructure-as-code standards and technical direction for the team's IaC practices
Disaster recovery, backup, and business continuity design for supported environments
Security control implementation, STIG compliance, and vulnerability remediation across owned infrastructure
Root-cause resolution for complex (Tier 3) infrastructure incidents
Mentorship of mid-level and junior engineers, including infrastructure-as-code review and technical standards

What You'll Deliver

New infrastructure delivered as reusable, version-controlled infrastructure-as-code modules rather than one-off manual configuration
Enterprise-scale cloud architecture that satisfies both mission performance and security requirements
Disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, validated and ready for use
Faster incident resolution as root-cause investigation becomes the team norm
Junior and mid-level engineers who route architecture and design questions to you because your technical judgment is trusted

Here's What You Need

5-6+ years of cloud engineering or infrastructure experience, including hands-on production work with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and Linux/Unix systems administration
At least 2 years of experience mentoring or providing technical leadership to other engineers
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of relevant job or military experience in lieu of degree
DoD 8140 compliance (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent)

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience designing solutions for multi-classification or cross-domain environments
AWS or Azure certifications (Solutions Architect level or above)
Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD)
Experience with configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet) beyond Ansible
Familiarity with National Security systems and air-gapped environments

Active TS clearance required; SCI preferred
