Hey!

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us - you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

What We Look For

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to :

  • Contribute meaningful thought leadership - if not right away, over time
  • Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
  • Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
  • Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
  • Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together
  • Know and live our core values every single day

About this Role

As a Cloud Architect specializing in AWS migration, you will help multiple teams modernize their infrastructure by transitioning from traditional virtual machine environments to scalable, secure cloud architectures. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the organization's cloud strategy, designing and evaluating implementation options that balance performance, cost, complexity, and compliance. This role involves close collaboration with development teams, DevOps engineers, and customer stakeholders to ensure that cloud solutions are both technically sound and mission-aligned. You will bring deep technical expertise and a pragmatic approach to solving complex migration challenges. Acting as a trusted advisor, you'll foster confidence, build alignment, and raise overall cloud fluency across the enterprise.

Responsibilities will include :

  • Active TS / SCI with Polygraph. Candidates without a current clearance will not be considered.
  • Design and evaluate multiple AWS migration strategies for legacy and VM-based workloads.
  • Develop architecture diagrams, migration plans, and reference implementations to support adoption.
  • Assess tradeoffs between complexity, cost, scalability, and compliance to recommend optimal approaches.
  • Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate AWS solutions with existing CI / CD and deployment pipelines.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to teams implementing AWS infrastructure.
  • Engage directly with customers and leadership to validate designs, communicate risks, and maintain trust.
  • Document and share best practices to strengthen cloud adoption across the organization.
  • Requirements

  • Active TS / SCI with Polygraph.
  • Experience with AWS architecture, services, and security / compliance frameworks, particularly within C2S / C2E or HCI / WandS.
  • Knowledge of networking, identity management, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.).
  • Experience migrating workloads from on-premises or VM environments to AWS.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, ECS, and containerized workload orchestration.
  • Experience with DevOps pipelines, CI / CD tools, and monitoring stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of building trust as an external expert.
  • Twelve (12) years with a Bachelor's or four (4) additional years without the degree.
  • Don't quite meet these requirements? Peep our other prime positions
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience designing and implementing Azure cloud architectures (or other commercial clouds).
  • Experience with multi-cloud strategy, hybrid cloud environments, or cross-cloud cost modeling.
  • Prior experience working in CNO.
  • Benefits at Bitwise

  • Top salaries because we're top performers
  • Pick your PTO - Everyone values time and money differently, so we give you the flexibility to choose between 3 and 5 weeks of PTO with a corresponding adjustment to your pay. Your choice, your balance.
  • All 11 federal holidays, paid!
  • Up to 2 snow days, paid!
  • We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem - we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
  • $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments.
  • Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn!". We hope to say that many times about you.
  • Salary Range

    We estimate you'll earn between $200,000 and $300,000 annually, including our flex income, depending upon your annual work hours.

    Salary is determined on an individual basis following the interview process and considering various factors such as years of experience, skills, education, and certifications.

    What to expect after applying

    You'll get an email from us right away to acknowledge your application. After that, we'll :

  • Send over additional company materials for you to review
  • Schedule a video call to talk about you, our company, and your place in it
  • Craft a delightful offer package for you and record a video walkthrough
  • Work closely with you through onboarding. We'll keep it joyful and easy.
