Salary: $100,000 – $170,000 + full benefits + relocation assistance

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is recruiting on behalf of a long-standing federal cyber program supporting a large enterprise SOC environment. This is not a commercial cloud position — this is a mission-focused engineering role where your work directly supports national security operations and secure cyber infrastructure.

Migrate on-prem applications into cloud environments
Implement infrastructure automation and configuration management
Harden systems and enforce security policies in classified networks
Debug cloud stacks and optimize performance and cost
Design availability, redundancy, and recovery strategies
Support secure platform uptime and monitoring in a SOC environment
Analyze existing applications and recommend cloud transition strategies

Python or Bash scripting
Splunk or enterprise logging platforms
SQL/Oracle data platforms
Containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)

This is not a ticket-driven support position or commercial startup cloud job.

You will be:

Working in a classified cyber environment
Supporting real operational security infrastructure
Building secure platforms used for defensive operations
Collaborating with cyber analysts, engineers, and security teams

If youve wanted your engineering work to have real-world operational impact, this is that opportunity.
