Cloud Engineer

Etegent Technologies is a defense-focused technology company with offices in Beavercreek and Blue Ash, OH. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and management professionals dedicated to developing and commercializing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software solutions that address our customers’ most significant challenges and opportunities.

Most important to us are our culture and values. Etegent’s culture embodies respect, authenticity, collaboration, flexibility, curiosity, and fun.

The Position:

Etegent is seeking a Cloud Engineer to help maintain and sustain software, services, and development environments on large-scale computing systems to benefit our Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) customers. This opportunity is particularly focused on the implementation, management, maintenance, and security compliance, and documentation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). This position is primarily on-site at government facilities at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, along with some time in our Dayton office.

The ideal candidate will have experience in all phases of the software development lifecycle, be detail oriented, and have a passion for creating software solutions to enhance the capabilities of others. Experience working on-site to support either AFRL or NASIC is preferable.

The Candidate:

More so than seeking a candidate with specific training and experience, Etegent seeks a special type of person; someone with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems. They are flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and develop new capabilities to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience. We are seeking very sharp, curious, well-rounded, adaptable people who can learn and grow as required to confront the challenges at hand.

Job responsibilities:

• Implement and maintain virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) using platforms such as Azure Virtual Desktops, AWS Workspaces, or Horizon Virtual Desktops.
• Develop, push, and test operating system configurations to thin-client devices.
• Administer security patches, manages SSL/TLS certificates, and other tasks related to ensuring secure access to VDI systems.
• Work with users to pilot changes to infrastructure, gather performance metrics, and refine changes based on feedback.
• Collaborate with Information System Security Officers (ISSOs) to maintain security compliance and monitoring for all systems.
• Writing clear, concise documentation for system architecture or for operational guides to support helpdesk personnel.
