Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop scalable applications in Azure and Azure Government environments
• Build and deploy microservices using modern software patterns (e.g., containerization, serverless)
• Integrate cloud services to optimize system performance, security, and scalability
• Work with DevOps pipelines (CI/CD) using tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI
• Manage cloud infrastructure resources: compute, networking, storage, and databases
• Automate deployments with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and integrate with third-party services
• Implement secure coding practices, vulnerability mitigation, and cloud-native security controls
• Support application monitoring and logging using tools like CloudWatch, ELK, or Prometheus
• Contribute to agile development teams and follow best practices in source control, testing, and code reviews

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in cloud development or software engineering
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Java, Python, Go, Node.js, etc.)
• Strong experience with Azure and/or Azure Government platforms
• Knowledge of building cloud-native apps using microservices, containers, and serverless architecture
• Familiarity with container orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure components (compute, storage, databases, etc.)
• Understanding of API development, SDLC, and agile methodologies
• Working knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform
• Experience with cloud database technologies (SQL, NoSQL, CosmosDB, DynamoDB, etc.)
• Solid understanding of application and cloud security best practices
• Familiarity with monitoring, alerting, and logging tools
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially when working across technical and non-technical teams
• Active Secret Clearance
• DoD 8140 compliance - CompTIA Security+ (or higher equivalent)

Preferred:

• Azure Cloud Certifications (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-400)
• DevOps, Security, or Cloud-related certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, Certified Kubernetes Admin)
