Job description

Systems Integration & Developer (SID) is an award-winning IT solutions provider headquartered in Rockville, MD seeking a Cloud Architect. This is a full-time and hybrid position.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Design and develop cloud architecture strategies to support scientific applications, large-scale data processing, and mission-aligned workflows.
  • Lead the migration of legacy and modern systems to hybrid and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP).
  • Architect secure, scalable, and resilient platforms optimized for research-to-operations (R2O) and high-throughput workloads.
  • Collaborate with scientific development, DevOps, cybersecurity, and mission stakeholders to deliver end-to-end cloud solutions.
  • Establish and enforce cloud governance, including cost controls, data compliance, and security best practices for scientific data systems.
  • Develop and maintain architecture documentation, diagrams, and reusable patterns to support scalable, cloud-native modernization.
  • Troubleshoot cloud infrastructure issues, optimize performance, and implement automation for system reliability and observability.
  • Stay informed on emerging cloud technologies and NOAA-relevant standards (e.g., cloud portability, FAIR data principles, etc.).

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in IT, with at least 2 years in a cloud architecture or engineering role.
  • Proven experience with at least one major cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) in support of automated, scalable deployments.
  • Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, identity management, and storage services in hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) for automation and orchestration.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps principles, particularly for data-driven or scientific systems.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Cloud certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional), Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect, or OCI Architect Associate/Professional..
  • Experience supporting scientific, research, or mission-critical applications in federal or environmental agencies.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable application design.
  • Familiarity with scientific data lifecycle challenges, including ingest, storage, processing, and dissemination.
  • Experience integrating observability tools, cost management, and compliance into cloud-native environments.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users.

The anticipated salary range for this position is $130,000-$155,000 annually. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors, including, but not limited to, relevant work experience, candidate skills and education, geographical location, certifications, and business needs, as well as contract provisions regarding labor categories that are specific to the position and could fall outside of this range. This salary range represents Astor's good-faith estimate of compensation for the position at the time of posting.
