Cloud Infrastructure Architect

Are you passionate about building cutting edge infrastructure that empowers elite developers?

We are looking for a visionary Lead HPC & Infrastructure Architect with an active TS/SCI with Poly clearance to design, build, and implement our next generation High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters.

Your mission is simple yet profound: make our CNO environment the absolute best place for software development at the agency.

By designing modern workflows, integrating advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs), and building robust CI/CD pipelines, you will create a state-of-the-art development ecosystem that attracts and retains top-tier engineering talent.

You will bridge the gap between legacy systems and future-generation technology, ensuring our mission developers have the high-performance tools they need to succeed.

• All applicants must currently reside in the United States
• Architect Next-Gen HPC: Design, build, and implement cutting edge HPC clusters, taking accountability for the system design, loadout, and alignment with future technology trends.
• Drive AI & LLM Integration: Develop technical roadmaps and "easy button" templates that enable development teams to seamlessly leverage LLM solutions while maintaining infrastructure flexibility.
• Modernize Workflows: Reimagine the developer experience, designing modernized workflows and integration patterns between legacy systems and new HPC environments.
• Lead Technical Transformations: Conduct deep technical assessments of aging platforms, document dependencies, and execute strategic, incremental migrations that preserve security controls while boosting performance.
• Advocate for Developers: Act as the champion for the development community, removing technical friction and building an environment that engineers love to work in.
• Experience:
• 8 or more years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline.
• Or 12 or more years of experience (substituting 4 years of additional engineering experience in place of a Bachelor's degree).
• Systems & Cloud Architecture : 5 or more years of deep systems engineering and cloud architecture experience, with a proven track record of building, breaking, and rebuilding complex enterprise infrastructure.
• HPC & System Design: Demonstrated hands-on expertise in system design, configuration, and usability within production HPC environments.
• Modernization Leadership: Proven experience leading infrastructure modernization and executing incremental migrations (rather than simple "lift and shift" approaches).
