Cloud Architect, Lead

Cloud Architect, Lead
The Opportunity:
Everyone is trying to "harness the power of the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to build a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities. What if you could use your Cloud Architecture skills to improve the lives of our nation's veterans? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of our VA client's toughest challenges.
As a leader on our team, you'll lead our architecture strategy and work with our Solution Architects to validate architectural runway and incrementally evolve capabilities in alignment with VA Enterprise Architecture, Agile Standard Operating Framework, and VA Product Line Architecture guidelines. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your client's environment using cloud capabilities. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with our VA client to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process. You'll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You'll use your experience to guide your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud.
