About the role

Cloud Architect

The Opportunity: 

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As an experienced cloud computing infrastructure architect, you know how to take advantage of cloud capabilities. Here, you’ll oversee our team of experienced professionals and use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to guide your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. We’re looking for someone like you to help support national security efforts by accelerating the integration of Artificial Intelligence solutions with our client’s mission.  

You’ll work closely with AI Model Engineers, Data Engineers, software teams, and mission partners to design, integrate, and optimize the hybrid compute and storage environments that power AI information systems across operational, research, and enterprise settings. You’ll expand your expertise in automation and Infrastructure‑as‑Code while developing and managing modular, scalable architectures that seamlessly support AI models, data pipelines, and mission workflows. With access to advanced on‑premises and cloud environments, you’ll explore innovative approaches for building resilient AI infrastructure, enhancing monitoring and performance, and enabling real‑time situational awareness through a Common Operational Picture (COP). Whether modernizing existing mission systems or architecting new solutions end‑to‑end, you’ll contribute to secure, high‑availability platforms that drive critical national‑level operations. 

Grow your skills at the leading edge of innovation.  

Join us. The world can’t wait.
