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. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
