Cloud Solution/Network Engineer -US Citizenship Required

Description:

Cloud Solution/ Network Engineer – 100% Remote Position (U.S. based)

ViaTrie LLC (ViaTrie) has an immediate need for a Lead Cloud Solution Engineer for a project supporting our client, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) Innovation Lab to build and expand services available in their primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem. ViaTrie will be supporting GAO with the execution of cloud capabilities.

This is a 100% remote position; however, you must be a U.S. citizen (no dual citizenships, Green cards or H1-Bs) based in the U.S. and able to obtain a Federal Government Security Clearance, and be willing and able to work core business hours 8 AM – 5 PM (Eastern) M-F.

Primary Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be part of a cross-functional team and will possess strong analytic experience, solid cloud technical skills and excellent communication skills to support cloud planning and implementation functions across an enterprise-wide cloud services program.

Our team is creating cloud capabilities across GAO. As a cloud/network engineer, we need you to create cloud-based technical architectures and cost estimates and build out environments to satisfy the GAO Innovation Lab’s objectives. GAO aims to modernize its IT solutions to realize the benefits of new design approaches, features, and functionalities like modular builds, loose coupling, micro services, containers, cybersecurity resilience, access controls, and disaster recovery. Modern solutions must be future-ready, adaptable, resilient, responsive to changing business needs, and be able to shift away from on premises infrastructure to cloud architecture, which may include hybrid cloud services.

You will work with the GAO Innovation Lab’s team to analyze solution options and implement new functionality enterprise-wide. We aim for high-touch, transparent, standards-based and compliance solutions for our customers. Our program includes projects that vary from engagement to engagement as we research current environments to propose new technical solutions and architectures. Our solutions include both large- and small-application portfolios with a goal to design with DevSecOps paradigms in mind.

A sampling of job activities include:

• Conduct cloud networking/engineer services architecture planning and engineering necessary to design and deploy GAO Innovation Lab capabilities.
• Create and execute migration plans for mission-critical software applications from on-prem to the cloud.
• Work cross-functionally across GAO groups to identify impacts in processes and business value for enterprise approaches, developing implementation plans and success objectives.
• Develop baseline analyses of IT system and infrastructure requirements, demand, and total cost associated with IT commodities and services (including, but not limited to, networks, data centers, and applications).
• Develop IT networking solutions, alternative analyses and business cases.
• Conduct IT services architecture planning and engineering necessary to design and deploy GAO enterprise IT solutions.
• Work cross-functionally across customer and GAO groups to identify impacts in processes and business value for enterprise approaches, developing implementation plans and success objectives.
