We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to join our State and Local Platforms and Data Managed Services team. In this key role, you will design, implement, and manage cloud solutions across a diverse portfolio of client environments. You will be responsible for architecting secure, scalable, and resilient cloud infrastructures, while ensuring ongoing optimization, compliance, and client satisfaction. This is not a single-client or in-house environment: you will juggle multiple projects and maintenance responsibilities for various organizations under strict SLAs. This is a remote position that may require periodic travel to customer facilities. Candidate must be within commuting distance of Columbia, SC.
Essential Duties:
- Design, deploy, and optimize cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and/or hybrid environments) for multiple clients in line with industry best practices and compliance standards.
- Collaborate with client stakeholders and internal service delivery teams to translate business requirements into scalable, cost-effective, repeatable cloud solutions.
- Serve as a subject matter expert on cloud technologies, including Oracle IaaS/PaaS services, infrastructure automation, and cloud-native application design for multiple client accounts.
- Lead client onboarding and cloud migration projects, ensuring minimal disruption and adherence to security and compliance requirements.
- Monitor and proactively manage cloud environments, leveraging monitoring tools to identify and remediate issues under contractual SLAs.
- Partner with our Network Operations Center (NOC) and Service Desk to respond to incidents, troubleshoot cloud-related issues, and manage escalations.
- Develop and maintain standardized Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates, deployment pipelines, and automation scripts for repetitive client needs.
- Stay updated on the latest cloud service offerings, cost-saving opportunities, and security best practices; advise clients on strategic improvements and modernization.
- Maintain accurate and detailed documentation for client environments, architecture diagrams, and standard operating procedures.
- Assist with pre-sales activities including technical scoping, effort estimation, and proposal development for potential clients.
- Implement and manage multi-tenant cloud environments ensuring secure resource separation, cost tracking, and compliance for each client.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of our managed services processes and cloud management frameworks.
Required Skills & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field; or equivalent work experience.
- 5+ years hands-on experience designing, implementing, and supporting cloud infrastructure in a managed services, MSP, or consulting environment.
- Deep expertise with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), or GCP); multi-cloud or hybrid experience highly preferred.
- Proficient in IaC tools such as Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation, Oracle Resource Manager, or Ansible.
- Strong understanding of networking, identity and access management, security best practices, and monitoring in the cloud.
- Experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience with ITIL, service management frameworks, and MSP-specific toolsets (ServiceNow, etc.).
- Excellent interpersonal, client communication, and project management skills.
- Able to work efficiently in a fast-paced, multi-client, SLA-driven environment.
Desired Skills & Experience
- Strategic thinker with the ability to align technical solutions with business goals.
- Industry certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Associate or Professional, CISSP, etc.) are a strong plus.
- Familiarity with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), TIC 3.0, and security controls
- Exposure to AI/ML tooling within AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud and/or Google (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, Comprehend, Lex, Azure OpenAI, Gemini)
- Ability to mentor and guide technical teams.

Tips for Your Site Architect Job Search
Tailor your portfolio for each application
Site architects are evaluated on project diversity and technical depth, so cut your portfolio to the work most relevant to each opening. A healthcare client wants hospital expansion experience front and center, not residential redevelopments from five years ago.
Highlight licensure and certification clearly
Many site architect listings screen for AIA membership, LEED accreditation, or state licensure before a hiring manager reads further. Put your credentials in a dedicated line near your name so reviewers spot them without digging through your resume.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists site architect openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Search by project type, not just job title
Many site architect roles are posted under titles like project architect, design architect, or architectural project manager. Searching by project type, such as mixed-use, healthcare, or civic, surfaces relevant openings that a title-only search would miss.
Prepare for a technical design review round
Most site architect interviews include a desk critique or design exercise where you walk through past project decisions. Practice articulating tradeoffs in structural choices, code compliance, and site constraints out loud, since interviewers judge your reasoning as much as the finished drawings.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Site architects often have room to negotiate project ownership, client-facing responsibilities, and the size of teams they lead, not just pay. Clarifying these during the offer stage shapes your day-to-day experience and your path toward a principal or director role.
Site Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most site architects?
The companies hiring the most site architects right now include Tesla, SMX, and Meta, with the largest share of openings in Ohio, Florida, and Nevada, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in firms handling large commercial, healthcare, and civic infrastructure projects.
How many site architect jobs are remote?
About 22% of site architect openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most architecture roles. The sub-areas most compatible with remote work include schematic design, BIM coordination, and design documentation, while construction administration and client site visits typically require an in-person presence.
How do you become a site architect?
You become a site architect by earning an accredited professional degree in architecture, completing the required hours of supervised practice through the Architectural Experience Program, and passing all sections of the Architect Registration Examination to earn licensure in your state. Building a portfolio of progressively complex projects and earning credentials such as LEED AP strengthens your candidacy for senior roles.
How do you get hired as a site architect with little experience?
Focus on roles labeled junior architect, design architect, or project architect where firms expect to develop candidates, and lead with academic projects, internship work, or freelance commissions in your portfolio. Demonstrating fluency in Revit and BIM tools, along with any progress toward licensure through NCARB, signals to hiring managers that you're a credible candidate even without years of full-time experience.
What does the site architect interview process look like?
Most site architect interview processes move through an initial screening call with HR or a recruiter, a portfolio review with the design team where you walk through past projects and explain your decisions, and a technical or take-home design exercise. Final rounds typically involve a conversation with firm leadership focused on project management approach, client communication, and long-term career goals.
Where can I find and apply to site architect jobs?
You can find and apply to site architect jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
