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 intelligence community? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of client's toughest problems. 

On our team, you’ll use your development experience to streamline our software development life cycle from development to production by leveraging the latest cloud native managed services. 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 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-premise, 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 skill set in areas like containerization and development while developing critical systems for the security industry.
