Job Summary

This is an onsite position.

Assignment will extend on 7/1/26. Additional background check requirements apply for Public Safety assignments. Due to the long-term nature of the assignment DPS will require a Level 1 (L1) background check. To begin work the contractor must first successfully complete the DOM DOIT background check and fingerprinting as well as a DPS Level 2 (L2) background check. Continued employment after the start date is contingent upon the contractor successfully clearing the DPS L1 background check.

Note: Experience with Ansible would be handy; Experience related to AWS IAM functionality for controlling RBAC is needed. FIN OPS - strong understanding on how to estimate costs and delivery quickly needed.

The Service Delivery Public Safety IT Teamis seeking a candidate for a critical cloud/platform/systems specialist toSupport senior resources. Expectations include Leading infrastructure initiatives to modernize IT infrastructure and operations to enhance efficiency scalability and reliability across hybrid cloud environments. This role supports enterprise modernization goals by providing support for modern approaches to hybrid-cloud administrative and engineering practices to eliminate expensive and inefficient legacy solutions while improving operational efficiency reducing manual intervention and enabling scalable infrastructure solutions.

5 or more years of experience required in the following areas:

Designs maintains and optimizes hybrid platforms that bridge onpremises infrastructure with AWS cloud services aligning with the shift toward cloudcentric operations:
- Designing and administering AWS environments (EC2 VPC IAM S3) to support enterprise workloads.
- Creating hybrid workload patterns where identity authentication and application services function seamlessly across cloud and onpremises systems.
- Migrating legacy systems to AWS including developing modernization roadmaps and workload readiness assessments.
- Documenting system architectures and producing AWS architecture diagrams showing network topology dependencies and service interactions.

Provides seniortier support for issues escalated from Service Desk Applications Networking or automation teams:
- Diagnosing complex AWS identity network or compute issues affecting dependent applications.
- Documenting troubleshooting workflows root causes and longterm mitigation strategies.
- Guiding teams through hybrid dependency failures such as directory sync disruptions routing conflicts or misconfigured IAM policies.

Ensures platform resilience by monitoring optimizing and maintaining cloud and onprem compute storage networking and identity components:
- Eliminate single points of failure in designs patterns
- Provide backup recovery and DR to meet all RTO/RPO requirements.
- Implementing performance dashboards covering compute utilization storage I/O and network throughput across AWS and onprem.
- Conducting rootcause analysis for performance issues and documenting remediation steps.
- Identifying cost optimization opportunities through instance rightsizing storage tier adjustments and lifecycle automation.
- Maintaining architecture diagrams standards IaC manifests and operational procedures in versioncontrolled environments.
- Preparing change impact statements for major infrastructure modifications.
- Creating release documentation for platform updates promoted through CI/CD pipelines. Ensuring consistency across platform standards enforcement rules and automation artifacts.

Works closely with automation specialist and other team members to ensure infrastructure deployments follow consistent automated and auditable patterns:
- Defining IaC patterns and collaborating on Terraform module designs.
- Documenting provisioning workflows configuration standards and parameter usage for automated deployments.
- Supporting CI/CD infrastructure pipelines that promote test staging and production environments through automated checks.
- Collaborate with engineering and application teams to optimize workloads for hybrid cloud environments.
- Provide guidance on migration strategies performance tuning and cost optimization for hybrid-cloud deployments.

Maintain comprehensive documentation for hybrid cloud architecture operational procedures and automation workflows. Ensure documentation supports knowledge transfer and compliance audits.

Supports organizational security and compliance goals by implementing and documenting platform controls across cloud and onprem environments. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Enforcing AWS guardrails such as encryption MFA IAM role boundaries and network segmentation.
- Producing audit evidence packages (configuration exports pipeline logs screenshots).
- Documenting platform hardening guidelines for compute identity and storage systems.
- Creating policy interpretation guides to clarify required platform configurations for other technical teams.
- Writing operational guides onboarding materials and howto documentation for AWS and hybrid operations.
- Delivering platform standards architecture reference materials and annotated diagrams explaining system interactions.
- Producing executivelevel briefings summarizing modernization progress and platform initiatives.
