The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to create a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities.

What if you could use your cloud architecture skills to improve the homeland security mission? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of homeland security's toughest problems.

As a leader on our team, you’ll design secure cloud services to support mission‑critical operations. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your client’s environment using cloud capabilities. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work directly with your team and the client to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process.

You’ll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on‑premises, cloud‑based, and hybrid resources. You’ll use your experience to guide your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud.
