​GovCIO is a prominent government IT contractor focused on digital transformation and cloud modernization. In this role, you will lead the migration and architectural evolution of a critical federal application into the AWS cloud. This is a senior-level position requiring a deep blend of Java development and DevSecOps engineering to ensure high-scale government systems remain secure, compliant, and highly available.

• ​Location: Fully Remote (HQ in Alexandria, VA)
• ​Experience: 8–12+ years in solutions design and engineering.
• ​Clearance: Must be able to obtain a Public Trust clearance.
• ​Core Tech: AWS, Java, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Docker.
• ​Focus: Cloud Migration, Disaster Recovery, and Blue-Green Deployments.

​Cloud Migration & Hybrid Architecture

​You will be responsible for the end-to-end cloud transformation of legacy government systems. This involves designing “blueprints” for hybrid cloud infrastructures, focusing on VPC networking, storage, and security topologies. You will advise federal clients on architectural decisions, ensuring that the move to AWS follows industry best practices for service decomposition and microservices.

​Automated CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code

​You will manage the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) baseline using Terraform and Ansible. Your goal is to build a fully automated software delivery lifecycle—from code commit to production—using GitLab CI/CD. By implementing Blue-Green deployment environments, you ensure that updates can be released with zero downtime and minimal risk to critical government operations.

​DevSecOps & Compliance

​Given the government context, security is integrated into every stage of the project. You will embed security controls into the CI/CD pipelines and work closely with Java and Angular developers to ensure the application meets federal compliance standards. Your responsibilities also include designing Disaster Recovery protocols and maintaining a “secure-by-default” IAM and network posture.

​Summary: You are the technical lead for a major federal cloud modernization effort. By combining expert Java coding skills with advanced AWS orchestration and DevSecOps automation, you provide the resilient and secure foundation necessary for government applications to thrive in the cloud era.
