About The Position

As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to create a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities. This role focuses on improving national-security mission systems protection across cloud, hybrid, and cross-domain environments by developing cloud-based solutions. The position involves leading the design and assessment of secure cloud, hybrid, and cross-domain architectures to protect mission-critical workloads and ensure confidentiality and integrity across evolving Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environments. You will leverage the latest cloud technologies to enhance client environments, inform strategy, and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud modernization process. Responsibilities include recommending tools and solutions based on research and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources, leading teams in overcoming cloud challenges, and broadening skillsets in advanced cloud security, threat analysis, cross-domain system evaluation, and below-the-waterline CSP security architectures.

Requirements

Experience with computer systems and networking architecture, including at higher layers of the technology stack.
Experience with authentication, authorization, access control, encryption, networking, and cross-domain systems.
Experience with programming to evaluate impacts.
Knowledge of threats to computer systems across cloud, hybrid, cross-domain, and bare-metal environments.
Knowledge of threat mitigations and mitigation management, including cloud-native and below-the-waterline controls.
Ability to balance and prioritize competing short, mid, and long-term taskings from multiple stakeholders, and determine how best to apply expertise to mission outcomes.
