      • Experience leading cloud migration or modernization projects.

      • Ability to balance performance, security, and cost across multi-tier architectures.

      • Experience designing and implementing disaster recovery and continuity strategies.

      • Strong understanding of federal compliance and cloud security frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53).

      • Skilled communicator with the ability to develop executive briefings and technical documentation.

      • Bachelor's degree (B.A. or B.S.) in Information Technology or a related field.

      • U.S. Citizenship required (NO EXCEPTIONS). Must be able to obtain a Public Trust clearance.

Bonus Points (Desired):

      • Experience with hybrid cloud environments and secure cloud interconnectivity.

      • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep).

      • Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines and containerized deployments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

      • Experience working with federal cloud enclaves or environments under continuous monitoring.

      • Experience working within DHS, TSA, or USCIS
