Systems Architect (Advanced) – Cloud Architect

Location: [Tallahassee, FL / Hybrid / Remote]
Clearance/Compliance: HIPAA, NIST environments

Build the Cloud. Set the Standard. Lead the Strategy.

We’re seeking an Advanced Systems Architect / Cloud Architect to design, lead, and scale enterprise-grade cloud solutions across AWS and Azure. This role is not just hands-on—it’s strategic. You’ll shape cloud governance, lead large-scale migrations, and establish a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) that defines how the organization builds, secures, and optimizes cloud infrastructure for years to come.

If you thrive at the intersection of architecture, security, cost optimization, and leadership, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and manage secure, scalable, highly available cloud architectures in AWS and Azure
• Lead on-prem to cloud migrations, ensuring minimal downtime and adherence to best practices
• Establish and lead a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) to drive cloud strategy, governance, and standards
• Develop and enforce cloud governance frameworks (security, compliance, cost optimization, resource management)
• Architect and deploy cloud-native solutions, including:
• Kubernetes & Docker
• Serverless architectures
• Configure and optimize:
• Cloud networking
• Identity & Access Management (IAM)
• Monitoring, logging, and observability tools
• Ensure compliance with HIPAA, NIST, and regulatory standards
• Integrate DevOps and CI/CD pipelines into cloud environments
• Design and test disaster recovery and business continuity strategies
• Lead FINOps initiatives to optimize cloud spend and improve financial visibility
• Develop training and enablement programs to elevate internal cloud capabilities
• Stay ahead of emerging cloud technologies and recommend innovative, cost-efficient solutions

What You Bring

• 10+ years of IT experience, with 4+ years in cloud architecture roles
• Deep expertise in AWS and Azure, including multi-cloud strategy
• Proven experience building and leading a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE)
• Strong knowledge of:
• Cloud security & compliance
• Governance frameworks
• Cost optimization & FINOps
• Hands-on experience with:
• Kubernetes & Docker
• Serverless technologies
• CI/CD pipelines & DevOps practices
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value
• AWS and Azure certifications (required)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Architect solutions that operate at enterprise scale
• Own the cloud vision and governance strategy
• Influence security, cost, performance, and innovation across the organization
• Work at a senior level with real authority and impact—not just execution
• Build systems that are resilient, compliant, and future-proof
