As an AWS solution architect on our team, you'll translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting Office 365, Azure, AWS, GCP to designing, architecting, and deploying production-grade AWS solutions, modernizing infrastructure, enabling secure cloud environments including GovCloud and DoD IL, and contributing to enterprise-level cloud transformation initiatives. Through your leadership, we’ll help transform the way the Air Force uses technology including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. What do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects.
