Washington, DC

Systems Architect (Hybrid Infrastructure & Cloud Migration) 

 

About the Role 

The Systems Architect leads the design, operation, and modernization of a hybrid enterprise IT environment, with responsibility for both the current on-premises data center and its ongoing migration to a cloud architecture. The on-premises environment includes Cisco network switching, enterprise data storage, and virtualized servers. This role will drive the phased migration of these workloads to the cloud while maintaining a stable, secure, and well-documented hybrid environment for the foreseeable future. 

The Systems Architect designs target-state architectures, plans and executes migration workstreams, and ensures on-prem and cloud components operate cohesively throughout the transition — balancing modernization with the reliability of existing infrastructure.

Clearance: Must possess active Secret clearance and be able to obtain a TS/SCI clearance 

Status: Exempt 

 

Responsibilities 

  • Design, document, and maintain hybrid architectures spanning on-premises infrastructure (Cisco switching, storage, virtualized servers) and cloud environments. 
  • Analyze user and business requirements and translate them into scalable technical designs for both current operations and future-state cloud architecture. 
  • Lead migration planning and execution, including workload assessment, sequencing, cloud landing zone design, and data center rationalization. 
  • Administer and optimize on-premises network and storage infrastructure, ensuring performance, availability, and security during the migration period. 
  • Architect cloud networking and connectivity (VPCs, routing, VPN, transit gateways) to support hybrid operations. 
  • Develop governance, security standards, and operational processes spanning both environments, including monitoring, patching, and configuration management. 
  • Support integration between infrastructure monitoring tools and ServiceNow to drive automated ticket/task generation for operational issues. 
  • Evaluate and recommend improvements for cost optimization, performance, and operational efficiency across on-prem and cloud. 
  • Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, migration plans, and system designs. 
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, engineers, and leadership to resolve technical issues and maintain architectural integrity throughout the migration. 

Qualifications 

  • 8+ years of experience in systems architecture, infrastructure engineering, virtualization, or cloud computing. 
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Science, or related discipline. 
  • Experience with Cisco switching and enterprise network administration. 
  • Familiarity with enterprise virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware) and storage systems. 
  • Hands-on experience architecting and deploying solutions on AWS/Azure/GCP, including migrating on-prem workloads to the cloud. 
  • Experience with infrastructure as code and automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible). 
  • Strong understanding of cloud networking, VPCs, routing, load balancers, and hybrid connectivity. 
  • Experience with system maintenance, patching, monitoring, and advanced troubleshooting across hybrid environments. 
  • Familiarity with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms is a plus, particularly around monitoring integration and automated ticketing (not a core requirement). 
  • Possess demonstrable experience in at least 3 of the following areas: 
    • Cloud architecture, migration, and governance 
    • Cisco networking and network security 
    • Enterprise storage administration and storage migration to cloud 
    • Infrastructure as Code and automation 
    • Vulnerability management and security operations 
    • IT service management / monitoring integration (e.g., ServiceNow) 
    • Server virtualization (e.g., VMware) 

Certifications 

  • An active professional certification in one of the following is required: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or CCNP Enterprise. ServiceNow certification is not required but is a plus.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
