Cloud Computing Architect

The Opportunity

Serve as the lead Cloud Computing Architect and technical authority for classified and unclassified cloud environments, including DoD IL5 and IL6 AWS or Azure platforms. Lead the design of secure, scalable, resilient, and supportable cloud architectures encompassing landing zones, identity and access management, networking, compute, storage, encryption, logging, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and security controls. Ensure proposed architectures account for the service limitations, connectivity requirements, and operational constraints associated with classified environments.

Lead cloud architects and engineers through the design, modernization, and deployment of mission-critical systems and applications. Translate mission, cybersecurity, and operational requirements into approved architecture patterns, technical roadmaps, and implementation guidance. Collaborate with cybersecurity, Dev Sec Ops , Cloud Operations, application, and government stakeholders to support RMF and ATO activities, resolve complex security requirements, and ensure solutions can transition successfully from architecture into production operations.
