Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with the DoD to ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies, as you look for ways to improve your customer’s environment using current cloud capabilities and services. You’ll be able to sharpen your skills in computer programming and scripting languages while developing critical systems for defense.
