The Challenge:

Everyone is trying to “harness the power of the Cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As a Cloud architect, you know how to build a Cloud-based technical architecture that meets customer needs and takes advantage of Cloud capabilities. What if you could use your Cloud architecture skills to significantly advance the adoption of Cloud technologies within a major DoD agency? We need you to help us develop Cloud-based solutions to some of this DoD agency's toughest challenges.

As a Cloud architect on our team, you’ll conduct Cloud readiness assessments of agency applications, establish Cloud infrastructures to host applications and provide broad technical consulting to those eager to hear from you. You’ll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, Cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You’ll learn how to help customers overcome their most difficult challenges in Cloud migration from an experienced team. You’ll work with application owners and client leadership to ensure standards are met as you guide them through Cloud migration. This is an opportunity to use the latest Cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your customer’s environment using current Cloud capabilities. You’ll be able to build your experience in Cloud technologies and driving technology adoption while developing critical systems for a DoD agency. We focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers, so you’ll have resources for mentoring and learning new skills and tools. Join our team as we transform capabilities essential to the defense of our nation with Cloud technology.
