​Peraton is a major national security partner providing mission-critical IT solutions across the federal government. In this role, you will support a federal financial customer by migrating complex data flows into a secure AWS environment. A unique aspect of this position is the integration of legacy file transfer and messaging middleware—such as IBM MQ and Connect:Direct—into modern, cloud-native architectures.

• ​Salary Range: $86,000 – $138,000 USD
• ​Location: Remote (Home based) with Hybrid flexibility/travel as required.
• ​Experience: 5+ years (with Degree) or 9+ years (with HS Diploma).
• ​Clearance: Must be U.S. Citizen / Public Trust.
• ​Core Tech: AWS (Lambda, Glue, EKS), Python, Ansible, CDK/CloudFormation.

​Data Migration & Legacy Integration

​You will migrate large-scale data flows from on-premise systems to AWS. This includes managing IBM MQ and Connect:Direct services, ensuring that high-volume file transfers for financial systems remain reliable and secure. You will utilize AWS data services like Glue for ETL processes and S3 for durable storage, bridging the gap between traditional enterprise messaging and cloud-native serverless logic.

​Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Serverless

​You will build the migration target environments using AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform. The role involves writing logic for Lambda and Step Functions to automate complex workflows. By applying Ansible and Python scripting, you will ensure that the infrastructure is version-controlled and deployed through robust CI/CD pipelines, adhering to federal security best practices.

​Containerization & Orchestration

​The project leverages modern container patterns, requiring proficiency in Docker and orchestration via Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) or ECS. You will be responsible for containerizing legacy components where possible and managing their lifecycle, performance tuning, and observability using CloudWatch and CloudTrail to meet strict federal compliance standards.

​Summary: You are the bridge between legacy financial systems and the future of cloud computing. By mastering the integration of enterprise MQ services with modern AWS serverless and container technologies, you ensure that vital national financial data flows are secure, resilient, and highly automated.
