United States
Full-time
Remote
Director/Executive
12+ years expProEdge Services is seeking a Chief Technical Architect to lead their ambitious infrastructure and application initiatives. The role involves spearheading large-scale data center migrations and transforming legacy app portfolios into agile environments, while ensuring the technical strategy aligns with business outcomes.
Staffing & Recruiting
Responsibilities
Architectural Sovereignty: Design and govern the enterprise-wide blueprints for hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud environments
Massive Migration Leadership: Lead the technical strategy for migrating thousands of applications from physical data centers to optimized cloud or colocation endpoints
The "Owner-Builder" Execution: Bridge the gap between high-level strategy and tactical execution. You don't just hand off a design; you audit the code, validate the CI/CD pipelines, and ensure the "build" matches the "vision."
Program Orchestration: Act as the technical North Star for large-scale programs, ensuring disparate workstreams (security, networking, computing, and app dev) remain aligned
High-Stakes Stakeholder Management: Translate complex technical risks into business outcomes for C-suite executives while maintaining deep credibility with engineering teams
Operational Readiness: Ensure that migrated applications aren't just "moved," but are resilient, observable, and cost optimized
Qualification
Required
12+ years in technical leadership roles, with at least 5 years as a Lead or Chief Architect
Proven track record of leading at least two $50M+ data center migration or transformation programs
Expert-level certifications (or equivalent experience) in AWS, Azure, or GCP
Ability to command a room of engineers and a boardroom of executives simultaneously
BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent 'battle-tested' experience)
Preferred
You are 'T-Shaped.' You have deep expertise in Applications but are equally comfortable discussing Infrastructure services
You've lived through the 'war stories' of large-scale data center exits. You know how to handle 'un-migratable' legacy apps and complex dependencies
You likely have a background in software engineering or systems administration. You prefer a whiteboard and a terminal over a 50-slide PowerPoint deck
You thrive on the ground. You are comfortable traveling up to 50% to interface with data center teams, regional hubs, and global stakeholders
