• Keep dev, test, and production configurations consistent.
• Verify workloads after migration and coordinate controlled changes with security and platform teams.
• Plan and carry out moves between AWS environments that differ in connectivity and security constraints.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in infrastructure engineering or AWS migration work.
• Hands-on AWS migrations backed by repeatable deployment practices.
• Ability to plan cutover and rollback steps that hold up in restricted environments.
• Comfort working within tightly controlled, secure environments.

Nice to Have

• Blue/green migrations and infrastructure as code.
• Work in GovCloud, AWS commercial, or other isolated AWS partitions.
• AWS Professional or Specialty certification. Security+ or CISSP is a bonus.

Additional Requirements

• Current, active TS/SCI. You must also qualify for SCI indoctrination and any program-level access approvals the customer requires.
• U.S. citizenship is required under the terms of the government contract.
• You must live within a reasonable daily commute of the secure site in Herndon, VA or Washington, DC.
• Full-time and fully on-site in an accredited secure facility, with occasional visits to approved customer sites. Remote work is not an option.
