Description

Additional background check requirements apply for Public Safety assignments. 

 Due to the long-term nature of the assignment, DPS will require a Level 1 (L1) background check. To begin work, the contractor must first successfully complete the DOM DOIT background check and fingerprinting, as well as a DPS Level 2 (L2) background check. Continued employment after the start date is contingent upon the contractor successfully clearing the DPS L1 background check.
Note:  Experience with Ansible would be handy; Experience related to AWS IAM functionality for controlling RBAC is needed.  FIN OPS - strong understanding on how to estimate costs and delivery quickly needed. 
The Service Delivery Public Safety IT Team is seeking a candidate for a critical cloud/platform/systems specialist to Support senior resources. Expectations include Leading infrastructure initiatives to modernize IT infrastructure and operations to enhance efficiency, scalability, and reliability across hybrid cloud environments. This role supports enterprise modernization goals by providing support for modern approaches to hybrid-cloud administrative and engineering practices to eliminate expensive and inefficient legacy solutions, while improving operational efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and enabling scalable infrastructure solutions.
