Description
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced DevSecOps / Cloud Platform Engineer to design, automate, secure, and operate ATLAS, the VA’s open-architected, multi-cloud enterprise data management and analytics platform. This hands-on role will build reliable infrastructure and shared platform services across Azure and AWS, automate the delivery of data applications and pipelines, and strengthen interoperability among the enterprise platforms used to ingest, condition, curate, and publish multi-source data as consumable data products. You will partner with architects, data engineers, developers, security teams, and government stakeholders to standardize environments, improve CI/CD, observability, resilience, and governance, and ensure consistent, secure access to trusted data. Your work will enable data scientists, analysts, and product teams to deliver insights that support evidence-based decisions and improve outcomes for Veterans and their families.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and operate secure, scalable platform environments across Azure and AWS for development, testing, and production workloads.
Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code and configuration-management practices with tools such as Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, Ansible, or Packer.
Develop, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines that integrate automated testing, security scanning, compliance checks, artifact management, and controlled deployments.
Administer containerized workloads and shared platform services using Docker, Kubernetes, and managed cloud orchestration services.
Support the reliable operation and deployment of Summit data services, including Azure Data Factory, Synapse Pipelines, Databricks, Starburst, and Azure Data Lake Service.
Enable secure integrations among databases, APIs, event streams, data pipelines, analytics services, and external enterprise systems.
Implement cloud security controls including identity and access management, secrets management, encryption, network segmentation, vulnerability remediation, patching, and Zero Trust principles.
Build observability and operational monitoring using cloud-native and enterprise logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and dashboard capabilities.
Lead incident troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; implement resiliency, backup, recovery, retry, and performance-optimization strategies.
Support metadata, governance, and data-quality capabilities using Collibra and enable downstream Azure ML/AI services and Pyramid Analytics/Power BI solutions.
Partner with architecture, cybersecurity, development, database, and data engineering teams to align platform services with application and data-product requirements.
Develop and maintain platform architecture documentation, operational runbooks, standards, and procedures.
Provide technical leadership, mentor team members, and participate in Agile planning, design reviews, and stakeholder discussions.
