• Guide DOE technical teams through cloud migration strategies from on-premises environments to cloud platforms.
• Develop cloud architecture frameworks, roadmaps, and migration blueprints aligned with DOE cybersecurity and compliance requirements.
• Partner with AI and data science teams to architect cloud environments optimized for machine learning, AI modeling, and analytics workloads.
• Implement and manage identity, access, and security controls to maintain FISMA, FedRAMP, and DOE compliance.
• see cost optimization, monitoring, and automation for large-scale cloud operations.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to DOE leadership, providing cloud readiness assessments, gap analyses, and modernization recommendations.
• Coordinate across multi-disciplinary UGT teams, including DevOps, cybersecurity, and application development.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
• 7+ years of IT experience, with at least 5 years in cloud architecture or engineering.
• Proven experience with Azure and AWS cloud architecture, including migration from on-premises systems.
• Hands‑on experience with cloud security, infrastructure as code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with AI/ML workloads, data pipelines, and cloud‑native analytics tools (e.g., Azure Machine Learning, AWS SageMaker).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with federal stakeholders.
• Experience supporting federal agencies or DOE‑related projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional), Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or equivalent.
• Experience with federal cloud compliance standards, including FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST SP 800‑53.
• Experience integrating AI/ML models and data platforms into cloud environments.
