Systems Architect (Hybrid Infrastructure & Cloud Migration)

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., * 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.

• 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), * 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.
