Cloud Network Architect (Senior)The Cloud Network Architect (Senior) provides advanced technical leadership for the design, integration, and sustainment of hybrid cloud and tactical network architectures supporting DoW tactical communications environments. This role focuses on the convergence of enterprise cloud, edge computing, and deployed tactical networks, ensuring secure, resilient, and interoperable communications across RF, SATCOM, and IP-based transport systems. The architect translates operational requirements into scalable cloud-enabled solutions while ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards and mission performance requirements:Lead design and development of end-to-end hybrid cloud architectures integrating enterprise, edge, and tactical network environmentsTranslate Operational Needs Statements (ONS), Capability Production Documents (CPD), and stakeholder requirements into cloud-enabled network solutionsDevelop and maintain architectures aligned to Army tactical network baselines and modernization initiatives (e.g., WIN-T, T2C2, NGC2 evolution)Design and implement cloud networking solutions across AWS and Azure environments (VPC/VNET, Transit Gateway, Virtual WAN, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute)Architect and integrate software-defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization solutions (e.g., VMware NSX, Cisco ACI)Integrate RF, SATCOM, and terrestrial transport systems into hybrid cloud-enabled architecturesImplement overlay/underlay network solutions (e.g., VXLAN, SD-WAN, MPLS) across enterprise and tactical environmentsLead Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) implementation, including segmentation, identity-based access, and secure network designEnsure compliance with RMF, DISA STIGs, and DoD cybersecurity requirementsSupport engineering working groups, IPTs, and technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR)Develop technical documentation (architecture diagrams, Technical Data Packages (TDPs), test plans/reports, integration documentation)Provide oversight of lab integration, field testing, and performance validation (latency, throughput, resiliency)Identify integration risks, constraints, and mitigation strategies and provide recommendations to Government stakeholdersInterface with Government stakeholders, PMs, cybersecurity teams, and industry partnersBachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (Master's preferred)10–15+ years of relevant experience in network engineering, architecture, or systems integrationDeep understanding of DoD network architectures and hybrid cloud environmentsExperience integrating enterprise cloud solutions with tactical or edge network environmentsStrong knowledge of routing and switching protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS) and Layer 2/Layer 3 networkingExperience with cloud networking technologies (AWS and/or Azure) and hybrid connectivity solutionsExperience with SDN and network virtualization technologiesFamiliarity with SATCOM architectures (TDMA/FDMA), RF systems, and tactical transport integrationStrong understanding of cybersecurity principles, Zero Trust Architecture, and RMF processesExperience with DoDAF, architecture development, and system documentationAbility to obtain/maintain Secret clearance (or higher)Experience supporting Army – PEO C3T / C5ISR / DEVCOM programsCertifications such as CCNP/CCIE, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Network Engineer, or VMware NSXSecurity certifications (Security+, CISSP, CASP+)Experience with automation and scripting (Terraform, Ansible, Python)Familiarity with ATO/Authority to Operate processesExperience supporting SATCOM systems, tactical radios, and waveform integrationExperience with edge/disconnected (DIL) network operations and modernization initiativesUp to 20–30% (fielding, exercises, integration events)
