About The Position

As an experienced cloud computing infrastructure architect, you will oversee a team of experienced professionals and use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to guide clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. You will help modernize our solution so the warfighters stay safe. You’ll collaborate closely with fellow cloud architects and engineers specializing in GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD or Flux to design, deploy, and harden the containerized foundation beneath next-generation C2 systems — from enterprise data centers to the tactical edge and cloud solution components. You’ll have the chance to broaden your experience within a DevOps framework to create and manage container apps and use products like Kubernetes to further the mission. With access to internal software, licenses and environments, you’ll have the space and time to explore different ways of solving our clients’ problems, and you’ll partner with stakeholders and lead your team to deliver the right technical solutions. Whether modernizing legacy computing platforms and applications or creating new ones from scratch, you’ll have the latest tech and brightest teammates at your fingertips.
