The Senior Cloud Architect joins the team to design and establish secure, scalable cloud platforms for mission-critical applications within accredited U.S. Government environments. This role involves building reusable architecture patterns, including landing zones, identity management, and networking, while moving solutions from development into production. The architect will personally build, test, and troubleshoot infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure system resilience and observability. Key technical requirements include extensive experience with Microsoft Azure services such as Cosmos DB, Azure Data Factory, API Management, Key Vault, and Microsoft Entra ID. The role requires expertise in navigating government authorization constraints, including RMF, zero trust, and least privilege principles.
