The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all of the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in Naval infrastructure?

As a cloud architect on our team, you'll translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting architecture products. With your guidance, we’ll help transform the way the U.S. Navy uses technology including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. And, what do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects.

Work with us and build the future of technology in Naval infrastructure for the better.

What You’ll Work On: 

• Lead the design, development, and integration of ashore and afloat network and cloud-agnostic system architectures to meet operational objectives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, program managers, and other stakeholders, to ensure seamless system performance.
• Conduct system assessments, troubleshoot issues, and recommend enhancements for optimal performance.
• Prepare technical documentation, diagrams, and reports for stakeholders.
• Lead the design of architectures for Windows Server–based enterprise IT systems and management tools.
• Collaborate with systems and network engineering teams to assess current-state environments and identify migration dependencies.
• Develop detailed workload migration plans, including timelines, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies.
• Work closely with technical and program managers to ensure alignment of architecture plans with broader project goals and timelines.
• Provide guidance and oversight during implementation phases to ensure architectural compliance.
• Scale delivery of modern systems engineering best practices, including digital engineering, automation, and orchestration across both systems and network solutions.
• Scale delivery of modern systems engineering best practices, including Digital Engineering, Automation, and Orchestration across both systems and network solutions.
