Solution Architect

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As an experienced cloud computing infrastructure architect, you know how to take advantage of cloud capabilities. Here, you'll oversee our team of experienced professionals and use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to guide your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. We're looking for someone like you to help enhancing the environment for our warfighters.

• 10+ years of experience designing and owning implementation of cloud infrastructure in enterprise or mission environments, including networking, identity, compute, and storage

• Experience with enterprise virtualization, distributed infrastructure, and data platform architecture, including environments operating under degraded connectivity, air-gap, or multi-tenant constraints

• Experience with large-scale log management, security monitoring, or SIEM platform architecture, including designing from scratch, consolidating existing tooling, or migrating between platforms

• Experience with Dev Ops practices and automation, including containerization, orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline design, including in restricted or classified environments where standard tool chains don't apply out of the box

• Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into engineering workflows or production environments, including surfacing LLM-backed tooling to extend what a small team can deliver

• Experience making sound architectural decisions when the environment works against you, including restricted tool chains, contested network conditions, imposed timelines, or requirements that shift mid-execution

• Ability to enter an unfamiliar technology, develop genuine working knowledge rapidly, and lead others through implementation

• Ability to architect under ambiguity, own the outcome alongside engineers, and communicate decisions clearly to both technical teams and senior non-technical stakeholders

• Secret clearance

• Bachelor's degree

• Experience working across multiple cloud providers or classification levels on the same program, including navigating the translation between platforms

• Experience on a large defense program or with a major systems integrator, including delivering under bureaucratic friction without losing technical momentum

• Experience supporting DoD installations or integrating with mission or C2 systems across NIPR, SIPR, or coalition networks, including where the technical environment was inherited, undocumented, or both

• Experience building agentic workflows, automation pipelines, or custom tooling that meaningfully changed what your team could ship

• Experience in a technical lead or principal role where you were accountable for both the architecture and whether it actually got delivered

• Experience operating on a tiger team, rapid response unit, or equivalent, parachuting into a problem, delivering under compressed timelines, and moving on cleanly

• Top Secret clearance

• AWS Certification
