Software Engineer II- (GCC‑High/DoD)- CTJ- Secret

About the role

Apply generative AI and ML techniques to deliver intelligent, personalized experiences that help customers understand and accelerate their AI transformation. Act as an embedded engineer for government cloud environments (GCC‑High / DoD), executing onboarding, deployments, troubleshooting, and operational activities with the same ownership and rigor as Core Services full‑time engineers.

Build, manage, and maintain Azure infrastructure across environments, including compute, networking, storage, identity, certificates, and service dependencies, while adapting engineering practices to security‑ and compliance‑constrained environments.

Collaborate across disciplines (product, platform, infrastructure, security, monitoring, compliance) to define technical requirements, design robust APIs, and unblock cross‑service dependencies—particularly in government cloud scenarios. Drive engineering excellence and service reliability through strong design, testing, observability, proactive monitoring, and deep diagnostics using logs, metrics, telemetry, and Kusto (KQL).

Contribute to team culture by mentoring peers, sharing knowledge, and fostering an inclusive, growth-oriented environment. Continuously learn and adapt to new technologies, patterns, and best practices in AI, distributed systems, and cloud-native development.

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. 3+ years of hands-on software design and coding experience Experience applying AI/ML techniques or working with generative AI systems in production environments.

Familiarity with modern version control systems like Git and agile development methodologies. Hands‑on experience with Azure cloud services, including compute, networking, storage, identity, and resource governance.

Experience designing and maintaining infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., ARM/Bicep or equivalent) and CI/CD pipelines, including YAML‑based build and release definitions, deployment automation, and troubleshooting deployment failures. Experience supporting live‑site operations, including incident triage, root cause analysis, and driving issues to resolution.

These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: The successful candidate must have an active U.S. Government Secret Security Clearance. Failure to maintain or obtain the appropriate clearance and/or customer screening requirements may result in employment action up to and including termination.

Clearance Verification: This position requires successful verification of the stated security clearance to meet federal government customer requirements. You will be asked to provide clearance verification information prior to an offer of employment. Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This position requires verification of U.S. citizenship due to citizenship-based legal restrictions.

Role must be eligible to obtain and maintain required U.S. Government personnel screenings, including CJIS Security Screening (as applicable) and DoD IT‑2 suitability for access to GCC‑High and Department of Defense cloud environments. Prior IT‑2 approval and hands‑on experience supporting GCC‑High or DoD environments are strongly preferred.

Demonstrated experience designing and implementing large-scale distributed systems or cloud platforms. Solid collaboration and communication skills to work effectively across teams and disciplines. Prior experience with GCC, GCC‑High, DoD clouds or environments with strict compliance, auditing, or access controls. Familiarity with EV2 or similar large‑scale deployment orchestration systems.
