*Job Description*

The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role is a mid level position that will design, build and operate cloud infrastructure. This position will be a technical anchor for our GCP infrastructure  automation and platform engineering efforts. This is a hands-on, action-oriented role, where you will design, build, deploy and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers our platform, turning manual processes into automated, repeatable and compliant systems.

*Key Responsibilities*

  • Infrastructure as Code: Design, develop, and maintain Terragrunt/Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks that define and provision our entire GCP infrastructure. Ensure all environments are reproducible, version-controlled, and compliant.
  • Image Engineering: Build and maintain hardened machine images for both Linux and Windows operating systems using Packer, embedding STIGs, CISA guidelines, and internal security standards from the ground up.
  • Kasm Workspaces Deployment & Maintenance: Support the deployment, scaling, and ongoing maintenance of Kasm Workspaces, ensuring high availability and performance for end users.
  • Platform Automation: Identify and eliminate manual processes by building automation tooling (primarily in Go), with Python and Bash as supporting languages, to streamline provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Extend CMMC Space Capabilities: Build and support additional services and integrations that extend the capabilities of the CMMC Space platform, working closely with engineering leadership to prioritize and deliver new features.
  • CI/CD Pipeline Development: Design and maintain GitHub Actions pipelines that automate infrastructure deployments, image builds, compliance validation, and testing across both Linux and Windows workloads.
  • Compliance-as-Code: Translate CMMC, FedRAMP, and NIST 800-53 requirements into automated infrastructure controls and validation pipelines, ensuring continuous compliance without slowing delivery.
  • Container Infrastructure: Manage and optimize Docker-based container infrastructure, including automated compliance validation for container images using Trivy and custom policies.
  • Relationship Management:

Build and maintain strong  relationships with our partners in the Compliance and Operational departments, acting as a consistent point of contact and trusted advisor on infrastructure related issues.
