Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Cloud DevOps Engineer, Senior to design and operate secure CI/CD pipelines, platform tooling, and infrastructure-as-code for cloud-based systems supporting the program. You'll build the shared automation and platform capabilities other engineering teams rely on, with deep Linux systems administration and DevSecOps compliance woven into everything you deploy

What You'll Own

CI/CD pipeline architecture and platform tooling (Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and internal developer platform components such as Crossplane, Backstage, or Argo CD)
Infrastructure-as-code development and standards (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation) across platform components
Deep Linux/RHEL systems administration and hardening for platform infrastructure
Security compliance integration — NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs, and FedRAMP — built into deployment pipelines by default
Identity and access management, encryption, and network security implementation
Troubleshooting and root-cause resolution across the full technology stack What You'll Deliver
CI/CD pipelines and platform tooling that reduce friction for engineering teams building against them
Infrastructure and platform components delivered as reusable, version-controlled code
Security controls and compliance built into pipelines from the start, not applied as a remediation pass
Reliable, well-documented platform operations — runbooks, architecture decisions, and procedures
Measurable improvements in deployment frequency and reduced deployment time through automation

Here's What You Need

5+ years of experience in DevOps or cloud platform engineering, including production experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation), and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
3+ years of experience with RHEL or CentOS systems administration
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of relevant job or military experience in lieu of degree
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher (Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent), or DoD 8140 equivalent

Bonus Points If You Have

AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or Security Specialty)
Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD)
Experience with next-generation platform tooling (Crossplane, Backstage, Argo CD) beyond the required baseline
Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
Familiarity with National Security systems and air-gapped environments
