Cloud Application Architect

Cloud Application Architect

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 warfighter Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) analyst capabilities and communications systems? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of the Air Force's toughest problems. 

On our team, you’ll design, build, test, integrate, and deploy solutions to support a variety of Air Force missions. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your client’s environment using current 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.  

You’ll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You’ll lead your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud. Additionally, you’ll broaden your skillset in areas like mission system integration, tech transition, and modern development tools while developing critical systems for the Air Force and DoD.
