You'll produce technical designs and architecture artifacts, including physical and logical diagrams, while working directly with cloud, platform, network, security, and engineering teams to implement and support the environments those designs represent. The role will also support current-state assessments, target-state architecture, modernization roadmaps, architecture governance, and technical gap analysis.
