Network Architect

In this role you design and govern secure, multi-cloud network architectures for DoD environments, collaborating with cloud, cybersecurity, and operations teams. You will standardize patterns across CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) to enable resilient connectivity for Cloud One Next and mission systems. You’ll lead technical guidance, governance, and automation to balance security, availability, and performance. This is a mission-driven opportunity to shape enterprise networking at scale.
