• 10+ years of experience in enterprise infrastructure engineering or architecture.
• Experience supporting large-scale federal IT modernization programs, preferably within VA or healthcare.
• Proven ability to critically evaluate AI-generated technical outputs (infrastructure specs, environment recommendations, configurations) for correctness and compliance prior to implementation.
• Strong experience with hybrid cloud architectures using AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience designing enterprise infrastructure involving virtualization, storage, networking, identity management, and compute.
• Knowledge of infrastructure modernization strategies for legacy applications (statement appears truncated in the posting).
