Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure supporting the program's mission workloads. You'll build infrastructure-as-code, deploy and maintain containerized environments, and configure networking and security controls, working alongside senior engineers as you grow into greater design ownership.

What You'll Own

Cloud infrastructure deployment and maintenance across supported environments, including compute, storage, and networking
Infrastructure-as-code development (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible) for consistent, repeatable deployments
Identity, access, and network security configuration across cloud environments
CI/CD pipeline support and containerized workload deployment (Docker, Kubernetes)
Monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response for supported infrastructure
Security control implementation and STIG compliance checks for owned systems

What You'll Deliver

Infrastructure delivered as version-controlled, repeatable infrastructure-as-code rather than manual configuration
Containerized applications deployed and running reliably in supported environments
Documented infrastructure decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures
Timely resolution of infrastructure incidents, escalated appropriately when complexity exceeds scope
Security controls implemented and verified against required baselines

Here's What You Need

3 years of experience deploying, managing, or securing applications in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or similar) — including infrastructure-as-code (e.g.: Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible), containerization and orchestration (e.g.: Docker, Kubernetes), and scripting for automation (e.g.: Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher (Security+, CISSP, CASP, CCNA Security, or equivalent) or DoD 8140 equivalent

Bonus Points If You Have

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
Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack)
Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Experience with multiple cloud environments, including Oracle or Azure alongside AWS
Experience integrating AI/ML services into cloud environments
Familiarity with National Security systems and air-gapped environments
