Description
Systems Architect
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.
Location: Washington, D.C. (Hybrid — 2 days onsite)
Clearance: Must possess active Top Secret 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.

- 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
