Cloud Application Architect, Senior

Cloud Application Architect, Senior

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 Air Force? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of the Air Force's toughest problems. 

As a leader on our team, you’ll develop solution architecture (SA) and resolve complex issues in a variety of projects through the implementation of requirements analysis, expertise support, and project supervision. You'll apply leading-edge principles, theories, and concepts and contribute to the development of new principles and concepts. You'll work on unusually complex problems and provide highly innovative solutions. You'll operate independently with substantial latitude in decision making and mentor or supervise employees in both firm and technical competencies. You'll provide technical support in the definition, development, and improvement of application architecture to ensure that client needs are fully met. You'll apply specific functional knowledge, including working and general industry knowledge. You'll also develop or contribute to solutions to a variety of problems of moderate scope and complexity. 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 with the Air Force to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process.
