What this job asks for AI summary

A fully remote role supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs' cloud migration efforts, focused on guiding agency workgroups through the transition to cloud environments — primarily Azure — including data lake and Databricks setup, infrastructure automation, and decommissioning of on-premises resources. The position suits a seasoned cloud engineer with VA or federal healthcare IT experience who is comfortable acting as a technical advisor, building knowledge bases, and managing multiple concurrent migration projects.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The role is a cloud solutions/migration SME for VA's Data Modernization initiative — primarily advisory, migration-support, and cloud-provisioning work rather than pure software development or pure infrastructure ops, making 15-1299 the best fit; 15-1252 is the runner-up given the automation/IaC coding requirements.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree … plus 12 years of experience; years of experience can be substituted for the degree requirement' — because experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of the degree, the degree requirement is set to None.

Clearance is listed as 'Ability to obtain and maintain a suitability/Public Trust' — this is a Public Trust background investigation, not a formal national-security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is None.

Terraform, ARM, and Bicep are listed together as examples of cloud provisioning automation tools in the required section; Terraform is used as the primary name with ARM and Bicep as alternatives. PowerShell and Python appear in the same parenthetical and are emitted as separate required skills.

The preferred section contains a broad, heterogeneous list of technologies (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, .NET, Node.js, Angular, jQuery, SQL Server, MongoDB, Azure, AWS, GCP, Heroku, GitHub, JIRA, Confluence, etc.) — all marked preferred as they appear under 'Preferred Skills and Experience'. Azure, AWS, and GCP also appear in the required section (as the cloud platform requirement) and are already captured there as required.
