• Implement and maintain service control policies, landing-zone patterns, and cloud governance automation.
• Build reusable infrastructure-as-code modules and paved-road patterns that help engineering teams deploy securely and consistently.
• Support standardized cloud resource creation and management, including VPC patterns, prefix lists, IAM patterns, and account-level controls.
• Build or adapt Cloud Foundations services for federal use, including cloud account workflows, email service enablement, GCP project/key management, FinOps reporting, and cloud compliance automation.
• Partner with other teams to translate FedRAMP High and IL5 requirements into practical cloud architecture and operating models.
• Participate in responder duties, cost anomaly response, cloud support channels, operational ticket triage, and production support.
• Produce documentation, runbooks, design notes, and evidence-friendly operational records.
• Provide guidance and technical feedback to engineers adopting secure cloud patterns.

You Are an Ideal Candidate If You Have

• Experience building automation in Python, Go, Ruby, or similar languages.
• Familiarity with Control Tower, Account Factory for Terraform, CloudFormation, EventBridge, Lambda, SQS, IAM Identity Center, or similar AWS platform services.
• Strong understanding of reliability, security, cost management, and developer experience tradeoffs in cloud platforms.
• Ability to partner with engineering teams as a trusted advisor while still enforcing clear cloud standards.
• Strong written communication and comfort documenting processes for audit, handoff, and operational support.

Preferred

• Experience with AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, DoD IL5, FIPS, or regulated SaaS environments.
• Experience with FinOps, cloud cost reporting, guardrail platforms, compliance automation, or account provisioning workflows.
• Experience building reusable Terraform modules or paved-road cloud patterns for internal engineering teams.
