Solutions Engineer

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud”, but not everyone knows how. As an aspiring cloud computing infrastructure architect on our team, you’ll learn how to use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to support your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most difficult missions. We’re looking for someone like you to help the environment of our warfighters.

You’ll closely collaborate with cloud architects and engineers specializing in Office 365, Azure, AWS, and GCP to design, define, develop, test, and debug cloud solution components. You’ll have the chance to grow your skills within a DevOps framework to develop and manage container apps and use products like Kubernetes to further the mission. With access to our internal Azure, AWS, and GCP labs, you’ll have the space and time to explore different ways of solving our clients’ challenges, and you’ll work with your team and stakeholders to deliver the right technical solutions. Whether helping to modernize legacy computing platforms and applications or learning to create new ones from scratch, you’ll have the latest tech and brightest teammates at your fingertips.  

Grow your skills at the leading edge of innovation.
