Cloud Computing Application Architect

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to create a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities. What if you could use your cloud architecture skills to improve data modernization initiatives supporting Public Health networks? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of Public Health’s toughest data modernization efforts. As a leader on our team, you’ll design, implement, and manage cloud services management, architecting, and deploying solutions to continue to enable and accelerate our client’s data modernization objectives. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your client’s environment using cloud capabilities. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with our data modernization team to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process.

You’ll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You’ll use your experience to guide your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud. Additionally, you’ll share your skills in areas like cloud-based solutions, automation, and integrating capabilities to more easily identify area improvements with your team and clients while developing critical systems for the Public Health network.
