Job Description
Senior Cloud Platform Engineer (Multi-Cloud | Top Secret | DevSecOps)
Hybrid: Charlottesville, VA / Fort Belvoir, VA (within ~100 miles; periodic on-site presence required)
Clearance: Active Top Secret (SCI Eligible Required)
Why This Role Matters
At Rackner, we don’t just deploy infrastructure: we engineer secure, mission-critical cloud platforms that power national security programs.
This role is part of a competitive, high-visibility effort supporting a leading federal AI and multi-cloud initiative; meaning your impact is immediate and measurable.
As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you will:
- Own and shape secure multi-cloud environments (Azure + AWS)
- Design and enforce Azure Landing Zones and cloud governance at scale
- Build hardened, compliant infrastructure aligned to DoD standards
- Operate as a technical leader across DevSecOps, platform engineering, and cloud architecture
This is not a support role. This is platform ownership in a regulated, high-impact environment.
What You’ll Do
- Own Azure Landing Zone architecture — design, implement, and enforce governance policies across environments
- Engineer secure multi-cloud platforms integrating Azure and AWS (networking, DNS, TLS, identity, access)
- Deploy Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across production systems using CI/CD and GitOps methodologies
- Containerize and scale systems using Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) for resilient, repeatable deployments
- Harden infrastructure (Azure VMs, cloud services) to meet STIG and DoD compliance requirements
- Drive technical decisions across platform architecture, performance, and scalability
- Collaborate across engineering, DevSecOps, and mission stakeholders to deliver secure, production-ready systems
Must-Have Experience
- 7+ years building cloud-based software systems in secure government environments
- Proven ownership of Azure Landing Zones (design, implementation, policy enforcement)
- Hands-on Terraform experience in production (CI/CD pipelines, automation, GitOps)
- 2+ years Kubernetes experience (AKS, EKS, or similar) in production environments
- Multi-cloud experience (Azure + AWS) including networking (VPC/VNet, DNS, TLS)
- Experience implementing cloud security, STIG compliance, and hardened infrastructure
- Security+ (IAT Level II) and at least one cloud certification (Azure or AWS)
Nice to Have
- Experience with AWS Direct Connect / advanced networking
- Familiarity with Crossplane or platform engineering frameworks
- Updated Azure/AWS certifications
- Experience operating in DevSecOps / mission-critical DoD environments
What You’ll Gain
- Ownership at the platform level — not just execution
- Direct impact on national security and AI-driven federal programs
- Exposure to multi-cloud architecture at scale (Azure + AWS)
- Opportunity to shape cloud governance, security, and infrastructure standards
- Continuous investment in your growth through fully funded certifications and training
- A high-trust environment where technical judgment and decision-making matter
