Cloud Engineer

Job Description

SOSi is seeking a Cloud Engineer to support mission requirements for a structured approach to further develop, integrate, and sustain a scalable, federated data ecosystem that enhances interoperability, governance, and mission-driven analytics for a DoD customer. The primary objective of the program is to bridge the operational gaps between DoD, IC, interagency, and non-traditional international partners to enable real-time information sharing, dynamic data integration, and mission-tailored analytical capabilities.

Essential Job Duties:

• The contractor shall design, deploy, and maintain secure cloud environments in AWS and Azure, ensuring compliance with DoD cloud security frameworks and best practices.
• The contractor shall configure identity and access management (IAM) solutions, enforce role-based access controls (RBAC), and manage cloud security groups and firewalls.
• The contractor shall optimize cloud networking configurations, including VPC peering, VPNs, and cross-domain connectivity to ensure secure and efficient cloud operations.
• The contractor shall support the development of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates to automate secure cloud deployments.
• The contractor shall contribute to the Cloud Security & Performance Optimization Report, detailing cloud security configurations, resource utilization efficiencies, and compliance measures.
• The contractor shall track and report Kubernetes and other workload-specific cloud resource usage by Work Order, using GovCloud-native observability tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch, Cost Explorer).
• The contractor shall coordinate with other Work Order contractors (e.g., WO-003) to reconcile prepay or reservation usage against actual consumption and provide monthly reports on compute and storage allocation, tagging compliance, and projected costs.
• The contractor shall advise the Government on workload placement and optimization strategies across IL2, IL4, and IL5 environments to reduce cost while maintaining performance and security compliance.
• The contractor shall provision and maintain IL2, IL4, and IL5 GovCloud infrastructure using native Azure and/or AWS tools where feasible. The contactor shall implement cloud-native services for monitoring (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor), cost tracking, and compliance automation to support scalability, security, and chargeback alignment.
• The contractor shall provision infrastructure in coordination with other Work Orders.
• The contractor shall provision and manage shared container environments and storage for dependent Work Orders, ensuring secure, efficient resource allocation and cross-Work Order operability.
