What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on designing and governing hybrid network, cloud, and security infrastructure that underpins around-the-clock NOC operations. The architect will define reference architectures spanning on-premises and multiple public clouds, build out observability and telemetry pipelines, embed security into operational workflows alongside SOC teams, and drive network automation and infrastructure-as-code practices. It suits a seasoned enterprise or cloud architect with deep networking and multi-cloud experience.

Why we read it this way (9)
The role title is 'Enterprise Cloud Architect' but the day-to-day work spans network architecture, cloud architecture, and NOC/SOC operational design — a genuine hybrid. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for an enterprise architect role that doesn't map cleanly to a single BLS code; 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is the close runner-up given the heavy network and hybrid-cloud design emphasis.
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree 'or equivalent experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
The clearance gate is an AOUSC Public Trust (not a DoD security clearance), so the clearance requirement is None. The posting does state the candidate must be able to attain and maintain this Public Trust designation.
The role-level experience requirement is stated as '8+ years of enterprise architecture, network engineering, or cloud architecture experience'; the 12+ years figure is tied to the degree equivalency framing, not a standalone gate. The overall years minimum is set to 8 accordingly.
The JD requires experience across 'at least two' public cloud providers from AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI. AWS and Azure are listed first and are the most commonly required pair; GCP and OCI are also named but appear as alternatives within the same requirement.
Prometheus and Grafana appear in the required skills section within a parenthetical 'e.g.' list alongside SolarWinds/NetScout/Splunk. Because they are illustrative examples within an 'e.g.' qualifier rather than independently gated tools, they are marked preferred.
TOGAF, CCNP/CCIE, and CISSP certifications appear under 'Preferred Skills and Experience' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required.
