Description

SAIC is a trusted leader in delivering advanced command and control capabilities across the Department of the Air Force, bringing deep expertise in how cutting edge technologies are engineered, secured, and delivered to the fight. At the center of this mission, the Common Mission Control Center (CMCC) unifies data, sensors, mission applications, cloud based services, and emerging AI enabled automation to give warfighters a decisive edge—turning complex, multidomain information into fast, clear, and actionable decisions in the moments that matter most. The CMCC System Facilitator contract positions SAIC to accelerate how new capabilities are integrated, tested, secured, and transitioned into operational use, working side by side with operators, engineers, Capability Providers, and government teams to ensure every delivery strengthens mission readiness. This effort offers the chance to directly shape how the Air Force sees, decides, and acts across all domains—making a tangible and immediate impact on warfighter effectiveness. SAIC is seeking a highly qualified Senior Cloud Engineer (SME) to support the United States Air Force’s Common Mission Control Center Facilitator contract. This role provides expert-level cloud engineering leadership, supporting hybrid and multiclassification cloud environments, enabling secure data and network flows, and advancing the CMCC’s cloud, automation, and cross domain ecosystem. The Senior Cloud Engineer acts as a trusted technical advisor, supporting DSOP, integration, and cyber teams while mentoring engineers and strengthening CMCC’s resilient, secure deployment architecture. Job Duties include: * Architect, deploy, and maintain secure hybrid cloud environments (GovCloud, SC2S, on prem K8s) supporting CMCC development, test, experimental, and operational tiers. * Design and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration as Code (CaC) using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD. * Develop automation pipelines and tooling to support CI/CD integration, cloud resource provisioning, and container orchestration. * Enable secure data flows, cross domain integrations, and network configurations compliant with MLS/MILS and NSA “Raise the Bar” standards. * Build and maintain cloud test environments—including hardware, software, and network components—and oversee cloud monitoring, observability, and incident response. * Collaborate with DSOP, Cyber, Software, and Integration teams to ensure secure pipeline execution, STIG compliance, vulnerability scanning, and cATO aligned security automation. * Mentor engineering team members and serve as a cloud technical authority during design reviews, risk assessments, and CCB/PI Planning activities. * Identify opportunities for increased automation, performance optimization, cost-efficiency, and operational resiliency across CMCC cloud infrastructure.
