This position focuses on sustainable infrastructure engineering—designing systems that are not only secure and performant but also auditable and repeatable. From zero-trust networking to patch automation and disaster recovery, the SRE will enable infrastructure to withstand demanding FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 compliance audits, while ensuring service uptime and cost optimization.

• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Bicep, or Ansible in version-controlled, team-based environments.
• Experience building automated security compliance workflows, including patching pipelines and STIG enforcement.
• Strong understanding of FedRAMP, FISMA, or DoD IL4/IL5 requirements in relation to infrastructure controls and audit evidence.
• Familiarity with backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning (BCP) in cloud environments.

Requirements

• Design and secure Azure Government networking architecture, including management of NSGs, Azure Firewall, VNETs, and segmented subnets to support zero-trust policies.
• Develop automated patching pipelines using Azure Automation, Terraform, or Ansible to ensure system-wide compliance with STIG and other federal standards.
• Implement and maintain Disaster Recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) strategies, including Azure Site Recovery, for all infrastructure underpinning Cybertorch™ MDR services.
• Maintain Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) infrastructure for secure remote access, including session host management, scaling policies, and user access control.
• Manage and rotate SSL/TLS certificates for internet-facing assets in coordination with security operations and DevSecOps teams.
• Proactively monitor and optimize infrastructure performance, cost, and security posture using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and cost governance tools.
• Collaborate closely with Security Engineers, Compliance Advisors, and SOC staff to ensure that infrastructure is aligned with technical controls across FedRAMP, FISMA, and CMMC frameworks.
• Provide infrastructure input and evidence for audits, documentation packages, and continuous monitoring activities.
