Description DNI is seeking a Cloud Engineer to support JWAC under the Air Force JITS Contract. This role focuses on designing, deploying, and improving AWS cloud environments that enable data pipelines, analytics, and AI/ML services. The ideal candidate is an AWS-focused engineer who can automate and code—not just administer infrastructure—and is interested in building the data services that run on the platform.

Responsibilities:

Design, deploy, and maintain AWS cloud-native environments for data ingestion, processing, storage, search, analytics, and AI/ML workloads. Use AWS managed, serverless, and platform services to build cost-aware, scalable solutions; contribute to services such as AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lake Formation, and Amazon RDS as appropriate. Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and recovery; use infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices where applicable. Support containerized or Kubernetes-based workloads alongside AWS-native services, selecting practical deployment patterns for each use case. Partner with developers to deploy and operate data pipelines, APIs, integrations, and workflow automation; troubleshoot the cloud platform and application boundary. Apply identity and access controls, encryption, network protections, logging, monitoring, and security checks in cloud delivery and operations. Monitor availability, performance, utilization, and cost; recommend right-sizing and managed or serverless alternatives where appropriate. Support cloud-hosted analytics and AI/ML capabilities, including data-preparation workflows, search, and model-serving integrations. Document architecture, deployment decisions, operating procedures, risks, and cost considerations; communicate clearly with technical and Government stakeholders.
