Cloud Architect

Insight Global

We’re hiring a Cloud Architect to help drive a high-impact federal modernization effort focused on redesigning and advancing a mission-critical national infrastructure platform.

This initiative is backed by a multi-billion-dollar investment (initial $12B+) aimed at replacing legacy systems with secure, cloud-first, and highly resilient architectures built to handle increasing demand, improve system reliability, and enhance overall performance.

This is an opportunity to step into a ground-floor role on a once-in-a-generation transformation , where your work will directly influence large-scale operations, support critical real-world use cases, and shape the future of how these systems are built and delivered.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead enterprise cloud strategy aligned to modernization + digital transformation initiatives
Define cloud architecture standards, governance models, and best practices
Conduct cloud readiness assessments (aligned to federal migration frameworks)
Design and implement secure cloud solutions in AWS GovCloud and/or Azure Government
Ensure compliance with FedRAMP Moderate/High and federal security requirements
Build and scale CI/CD pipelines + DevSecOps frameworks
Architect and support containerized environments (Kubernetes/ECS)
Enable edge compute architectures for distributed, low-latency mission systems
Support ATO processes and continuous monitoring efforts
Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and audit capabilities (OMB M-21-31 aligned)
Drive FinOps strategy (cost optimization + cloud spend visibility)

Required Experience

Strong hands-on experience with AWS (GovCloud) AND Azure Government
Proven background designing FedRAMP Moderate/High-compliant architectures
Experience with cloud migration / readiness assessments
Deep expertise in CI/CD + DevSecOps (automation, security scanning, pipelines)
Experience with Kubernetes / container orchestration platforms
Knowledge of ATO processes and federal compliance requirements
Familiarity with centralized logging + monitoring strategies
Experience managing cloud cost optimization / FinOps

Nice to Have

Experience supporting similar federal modernization efforts
Familiarity with SWIM (System Wide Information Management)
Experience in GCC High / IL4–IL6 environments
Exposure to edge/OT systems or distributed mission-critical architectures
