Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. 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.

As a leader on our team, you’ll be leading the design and implementation of a secure Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment tailored for federal government operations, including enforcing cybersecurity policies, procedures, and standards to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Continuous security assessments and audits will be performed to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring the security posture remains robust. The position requires collaboration with stakeholders to integrate security solutions that align with both business objectives and regulatory requirements.

You’ll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premises, 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.
