Join Accenture Federal Services, a technology company within global Accenture.

Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Cloud DevOps Engineer, Senior to design and operate secure CI/CD pipelines, platform tooling, and infrastructure-as-code for cloud-based systems supporting the program. You'll build the shared automation and platform capabilities other engineering teams rely on, with deep Linux systems administration and DevSecOps compliance woven into everything you deploy

What You'll Own

CI/CD pipeline architecture and platform tooling (Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and internal developer platform components such as Crossplane, Backstage, or Argo CD)
Infrastructure-as-code development and standards (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation) across platform components
Deep Linux/RHEL systems administration and hardening for platform infrastructure
Security compliance integration — NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs, and FedRAMP — built into deployment pipelines by default
Identity and access management, encryption, and network security implementation
Troubleshooting and root-cause resolution across the full technology stack What You'll Deliver
CI/CD pipelines and platform tooling that reduce friction for engineering teams building against them
Infrastructure and platform components delivered as reusable, version-controlled code
Security controls and compliance built into pipelines from the start, not applied as a remediation pass
Reliable, well-documented platform operations — runbooks, architecture decisions, and procedures
Measurable improvements in deployment frequency and reduced deployment time through automation

Here's What You Need

5+ years of experience in DevOps or cloud platform engineering, including production experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation), and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
3+ years of experience with RHEL or CentOS systems administration
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of relevant job or military experience in lieu of degree
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher (Security+, CISSP, CASP, or equivalent), or DoD 8140 equivalent

Bonus Points If You Have

AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or Security Specialty)
Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD)
Experience with next-generation platform tooling (Crossplane, Backstage, Argo CD) beyond the required baseline
Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
Familiarity with National Security systems and air-gapped environments

Security Requirements

Active TS clearance required; SCI preferred

Cloud Engineer Jobs in Alabama: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a cloud engineer in Alabama?

Becoming a cloud engineer in Alabama starts with a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a closely related technical field, though some employers accept equivalent experience. Alabama has no state-issued license for cloud engineers, so industry certifications carry the most weight: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud credentials are the most recognized by Alabama employers, particularly in Huntsville's defense and federal contracting sector.

How much do cloud engineers make in Alabama?

Cloud engineers in Alabama earn a median of about $106,330 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,260 for the lowest 10% to over $151,300 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire cloud engineers in Alabama?

Companies currently hiring cloud engineers in Alabama include Accenture Federal Services, Integration Innovation, and SMX, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Huntsville's concentration of defense contractors and federal agencies makes it the state's most active market, while Birmingham draws cloud talent into healthcare IT and financial services firms.

Which Alabama cities have the most cloud engineer jobs?

The cities with the most cloud engineer openings in Alabama are Huntsville, Montgomery, and Alabama. Huntsville leads because of its dense cluster of aerospace, defense, and federal agency contractors that rely heavily on secure cloud infrastructure, while Birmingham's large hospital systems and regional financial institutions drive consistent demand in that metro.

Are there remote cloud engineer jobs in Alabama?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 73% of cloud engineer openings tied to Alabama are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how naturally the work translates to distributed environments. Infrastructure management, DevOps automation, and cloud architecture roles are most frequently offered remotely, though positions involving classified government systems typically require on-site presence in Huntsville.

How can I get hired as a cloud engineer in Alabama with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is pursuing an associate or junior cloud role after earning an entry-level certification like AWS Cloud Practitioner or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals. Alabama's large defense contractors in Huntsville, including federal agency support firms, regularly hire entry-level IT support and systems administrators who can transition into cloud roles after demonstrating hands-on skills. A personal portfolio of cloud projects built on free-tier accounts strengthens applications considerably.

Where can I find and apply to cloud engineer jobs in Alabama?

You can find and apply to cloud engineer jobs in Alabama on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
