Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer 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

• 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

• 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 (e.g.: Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation), and containerization/orchestration (e.g.: Docker, Kubernetes)

• DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher (Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent), or DoD 8140 equivalent
