Cloud Engineer

TRC Talent Solutions is working alongside a leading cloud solutions partner to support a U.S. Space Force mission partner. They are seeking a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to provide technical leadership in delivering enterprise-scale, cloud-native infrastructure with a focus on AWS GovCloud.

Responsibilities:

• Build a multi-VPC environment from scratch using 100% modular Terraform
• Deploy and manage EKS (stateful workloads via Helm), WorkSpaces Pools, AppStream 2.0, FSx for Windows, and RDS
• Lead the migration of Cassandra DB and file shares from on-prem to the new GovCloud environment
• Provide the 'body of evidence' for customer-owned controls under the Nebula ATO (NIST 800-53 / DoD RMF context)
• Own the environment post-migration, handling patching, monitoring, and cost tracking against AWS budgets

Requirements:

• 5–10 years of experience deploying and running production AWS environments (EC2, VPC, EKS, FSx, RDS, IAM, S3)
• Advanced Terraform Proficiency: Ability to write modular, production-ready Infrastructure as Code from scratch—not just editing existing scripts
• VDI Expertise: Direct experience building and configuring WorkSpaces Pools and AppStream 2.0
• Kubernetes Mastery: Deep familiarity with EKS and Helm, specifically for stateful workloads
• Security Literacy: Enough knowledge of DoD RMF to accurately document how security controls are implemented
• U.S. Citizenship: Required for environment access
