Jacksonville, FL Contractor
POSTED ON 8/31/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/30/2026
job summary:

We are seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer with a strong infrastructure and operations background to manage, maintain, and modernize our enterprise cloud environments.

This role bridges the gap between day-to-day cloud operations and forward-looking DevOps modernization. You will be responsible for ensuring the health and security of our production environments while actively building out automation, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure templates to streamline future deployments.

  • Participate in an on-call rotation with other cloud engineers to ensure high availability of the production environment.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of infrastructure design, operational manuals, and technical procedures.
Automation, DevOps & Modernization:
  • Drive a DevOps mindset across engineering teams by developing and deploying modular cloud-based systems using BICEP, ARM, Terraform, and YAML templates.
  • Utilize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and containerization tools (Docker, AKS) to create highly scalable infrastructure.
  • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) to automate changes and participate in production deployments.
  • Develop robust scripts (Bash, Python, PowerShell) to streamline both cloud and on-premises operations.
