Cloud Architect, Senior

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a senior cloud solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in the Department of Defense (DoD)?

As a senior cloud architect and leader in our Digital Battlespace Platform (DBP) on our team, you’ll translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting cloud architecture designs and detailed technical approach artifacts that will be foundational to building next generation technologies for our clients. Through your leadership, we’ll help transform the way the Army uses technology, including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. What do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects. As a technical leader, you’ll shape the digital solutions business and identify opportunities for growth. You’ll perform as the go-to person to lead technical meetings and to integrate requirements and releases with specific IT strategies, programs, initiatives, and investments. You’ll advise organizational leadership on emerging cloud solutions and open system technologies and how to implement those and work alongside leadership to ensure IT and business planning are fully integrated on a continuous basis to increase business capability and value to our clients. 

Work with us and build the future of technology in DoD for the better.
