Job description
Be a part of our success story. Launch offers talented and motivated people the opportunity to do the best work of their lives in a dynamic and growing company. Through competitive salaries, outstanding benefits, internal advancement opportunities, and recognized community involvement, you will have the chance to create a career you can be proud of. Your new trajectory starts here at Launch!

The Role:
Launch is seeking a seasoned Cloud Architect to lead the design and delivery of modern, cloud-agnostic solutions for our enterprise clients. In this highly consultative role, you will work closely with stakeholders to shape cloud strategy, guide architecture decisions, and drive transformational outcomes across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. You’ll bring both technical depth and business acumen to help clients unlock the full value of cloud—while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and implementation of enterprise-grade cloud architecture across public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Guide clients through cloud adoption journeys, bringing a consultative mindset to solve complex business and technical challenges.
  • Architect cloud-native and hybrid solutions that prioritize scalability, security, resilience, and cost efficiency.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and security teams to ensure successful delivery and governance of cloud infrastructure.
  • Provide thought leadership on best practices for multi-cloud and cloud-agnostic strategies.
  • Develop architecture artifacts including diagrams, roadmaps, and documentation tailored to stakeholder needs.
  • Participate in pre-sales and discovery engagements to assess current-state infrastructure and recommend target-state solutions.
  • Implement infrastructure-as-code using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates.
  • Lead and mentor project teams, ensuring architectural standards and delivery quality are upheld.
Required Qualifications:
  • 8+ years of experience in cloud architecture, infrastructure, or engineering roles.
  • Proven experience consulting with enterprise clients, leading cloud strategy and execution.
  • Strong hands-on expertise across at least two major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
  • Solid grasp of CI/CD, automation, containerization, and modern DevOps practices.
  • Deep understanding of cloud security best practices, cost optimization, and performance tuning.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to tailor messages for both technical and business stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Certifications in AWS, Azure, and/or GCP
  • Experience designing cloud governance, networking, and landing zones
  • Familiarity with tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar
  • Prior experience working in or with a consulting firm or systems integrator
Compensation & Benefits:
As an employee at Launch, you will grow your skills and experience through a variety of exciting project work (across industries and technologies) with some of the top companies in the world! Our employees receive full benefits—medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, life insurance, and matched 401k. We also have an uncapped, take-what-you-need PTO policy. The anticipated wage range for this role is $160,000-$180,000. Education and experience will be highly considered, and we are happy to discuss your wage expectations in more detail throughout our internal interview process.
