## Description

In this role, you will serve as a senior technical authority for network architecture across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You will develop common networking patterns while accounting for the unique capabilities and constraints of each Cloud Service Provider (CSP), enabling secure and resilient connectivity across Cloud One environments, Department of the Air Force (DAF) networks, mission systems, and external services., The Cloud Network Architect will work closely with cloud engineering, cybersecurity, platform engineering, operations, and program leadership to translate mission and security requirements into scalable network architectures. The role will establish technical standards, reference architectures, and automation patterns that reduce CSP-specific complexity while maintaining the security, availability, performance, and compliance requirements of DoD environments.
