Applied Research Solutions•Bedford, MA

About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Cloud Enterprise Architect to help shape and secure next-generation cloud environments supporting critical Air Force missions. In this role, you will design and implement enterprise-scale cloud architectures across GovCloud and commercial platforms, establish secure landing zones and guardrails, and drive adoption of DevSecOps and Zero Trust principles across the enterprise. This is a hands-on architecture role where you will directly influence how mission systems are built, secured, and modernized—balancing performance, cost, and cybersecurity in highly regulated DoD environments. You will work closely with engineering, cybersecurity, and mission stakeholders to ensure cloud solutions are scalable, compliant, and operationally effective from day one. If you enjoy solving complex cloud and security challenges, building environments from the ground up, and enabling secure digital transformation at scale, this role offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on mission capability.
