GIS Cloud Architect

This is an opportunity for an experienced cloud technology professional to shape complex GIS environments and help organizations modernize critical enterprise platforms. You'll combine hands-on architecture with customer consulting, designing secure, scalable cloud solutions while helping teams make informed decisions about modernization, migration, resiliency, and cost. The role offers significant ownership and visibility, with opportunities to influence technical strategy, support major solution pursuits, and guide projects from early-stage discovery through implementation.

It is especially well suited to someone who enjoys solving difficult infrastructure problems and translating technical decisions into clear business value.

Join a technology consulting organization delivering sophisticated GIS and cloud solutions for organizations with complex, business-critical technology environments. You'll work alongside architects, consultants, delivery teams, and business development professionals on engagements ranging from cloud strategy and road mapping to architecture, migration, implementation, optimization, and managed services. This is a senior individual-contributor position with broad technical influence. You'll have the opportunity to serve as a trusted advisor to customers, mentor colleagues, develop reusable architecture practices, and help shape emerging cloud capabilities.
