CDW is seeking a Senior Enterprise Cloud Architect (Azure and AWS) ready to grow with our organization and play a pivotal role in shaping our multi-cloud strategy, enterprise architecture standards, and technical direction. This senior-level position leads the design of secure, scalable, cost-optimized cloud solutions while guiding migrations, automation pipelines, and security compliance across the enterprise. As a key technical expert, you'll provide deep consultative insight, participate in technical "deep dive" evaluations, and help define how data and systems flow across our integrated delivery environment.
If you're a seasoned architect with a passion for designing the future of cloud at scale-we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the development and maintenance of enterprise cloud architecture standards, reference architectures, and service catalogs
Design secure, scalable, highly available solutions across multi-cloud environments (IaaS, PaaS, serverless, containers)
Define and drive application migration strategies (re-hosting, re-platforming, modernization, cloud-native patterns)
Partner with cybersecurity to enforce Zero Trust, encryption, identity governance, and compliance frameworks
Implement cost governance via tagging, rightsizing, reserved instance planning, and continuous optimization
Direct infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation) and automation pipelines (DevOps/GitHub Actions)
Ensure end-to-end observability, monitoring, and system reliability
Collaborate with networking teams on private service connectivity, firewalls, DNS, routing, and bandwidth planning
Participate in architectural design reviews, intake governance boards, and enterprise change management
Evaluate emerging cloud services and recommend improvements to increase operational efficiency
Mentor engineers and support knowledge transfer to elevate cloud maturity across the organization

Skills & Requirements

Experience: 13 years in information systems architecture, design, or maintenance
A bachelor's degree may substitute for four years of experience
Demonstrated expertise in enterprise cloud architecture and multi-cloud strategy
Strong knowledge of automation, IaC, security frameworks, migration methodologies, and cloud operations

This is a rare opportunity to influence enterprise technology direction at scale, act as a senior subject matter expert, and architect the next generation of our clinical and business solutions. If you thrive in high-impact roles and excel at solving complex cloud challenges-this is the role for you.
