The Opportunity:  

Organizations everywhere are striving to harness the power of the cloud — but not all know how to do it well. As an experienced cloud architect, you understand how to translate cloud capabilities into mission‑ready solutions. In this role, you’ll lead a team of seasoned professionals and leverage modern enterprise cloud platforms to help clients modernize their IT environments and tackle their most critical challenges. Your work will directly support missions that protect citizens and strengthen national resilience.


You’ll collaborate across M365, Azure, GCP, AWS, and OCI environments to design and operationalize new cloud services. Within a DevOps-driven culture, you’ll expand your expertise by building and managing container platforms and using technologies like Kubernetes to advance the mission.

Whether modernizing legacy systems or designing new platforms from the ground up, you’ll work with the latest technology and a talented team that shares your passion for innovation.
