Cloud Computing Application Architect

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to "harness the power of the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to build 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 delivery of key satellite communications? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of the nation's toughest challenges.

On our team, you'll design a secure, cloud-based communications network to support mission-critical operations. 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 migration teams 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 automation and cloud-based security while developing critical systems for national defense.
