What this job asks for AI summary
An Enterprise Cloud Security Architect role supporting a DoD-adjacent client from offices in Reston, VA or the Maryland/DC area. The position centers on designing and governing multi-cloud security architectures — spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP — with a strong emphasis on Zero Trust principles, compliance frameworks, infrastructure-as-code, and integrating cybersecurity tooling across enterprise environments. An active TS/SCI clearance and DoD 8570 certifications are hard requirements.

How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $152,225 (middle half $125,286–$177,673).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The degree requirement is flexible: an Associate's + 5 years, Bachelor's + 3 years, or Master's + 1 year all satisfy the gate, so no single degree level is a hard minimum — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The 10+ years figure is the top-line experience requirement; the degree-adjusted minimums (1–5 years supporting IT projects) are subordinate to it.
The DoD 8570 Cybersecurity Service Provider – Infrastructure Support certification must be obtained within 30 days of hire, not held at time of application; it is listed as a required qualification but is effectively a post-hire obligation.
The role title says 'Architect' with no seniority modifier; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 10+ years requirement and enterprise-scope responsibilities support a Senior classification.
The alternative occupation code 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up because 'Cloud Security Architect' blends security analysis with infrastructure/solutions architecture in a way that doesn't map cleanly to a single SOC; 15-1212 was chosen as the primary given the dominant security governance and cybersecurity framework focus.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level III, DoD 8570 IASAE Level II.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
