About the role

What will you do at SAIC?

SAIC is seeking a Principal Cloud & DevSecOps Engineer in Colorado Springs,

CO to support advanced cloud deployments into C2E (Commercial Cloud Enterprise)

AWS environments. As part of this role, you will work on the integration of

modern cloud orchestration frameworks with secure DevSecOps pipelines, enabling

agile, secure, and reliable cloud services tailored to DoD and mission-critical

environments.

This effort will deliver secure cloud architecture, automated deployment

pipelines, and security compliance enforcement across mission domains—bridging

intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, combat applications, and command and

control operations.

The Cloud & DSO Engineer will collaborate closely with government, mission

partners, and SAIC teams to design and implement secure cloud-native platforms

capable of addressing evolving warfighter requirements.

Responsibilities

* Deploy Solutions in C2E Environments: Configure and deploy cloud environments
(e.g., AWS, Azure) to support rapid prototyping, automating the scaling of
microservices, Kubernetes clusters, and infrastructure using tools like
Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
* Establish and Maintain Secure CI/CD Pipelines: Design and manage CI/CD
pipelines with integrated security tools (e.g., Checkmarx, Snyk, SonarQube)
and enable GitOps workflows for automated deployments.
* Implement Mission-Focused DevSecOps Solutions: Build infrastructure as code
(IaC) for C2E multi-cloud environments, ensuring compliance with DoD
frameworks and deploying secure Kubernetes workloads.
* Manage Multi-Security Cloud Operations: Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize
cloud resources, performance, and costs within C2E environments, integrating
logging and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Loki, Fluentd).
* Strengthen Security and Vulnerability Management: Apply DoD cybersecurity
policies (e.g., STIGs, RMF), perform system hardening, vulnerability scans,
and implement automated remediation across cloud pipelines.
* Collaboration and Documentation: Work with cross-functional teams to update
cloud applications and produce technical documentation, system architectures,
and pipeline guides.
