Cloud and Systems Architect (Remote in US)

Company DescriptionResultant is an outcomes-focused consulting firm committed to helping clients make technology a strategic asset and use data to guide better decisions. But we're not just data and tech experts; we are problem solvers and industry experts who work alongside our clients to help them achieve their mission. We don't solve problems for our clients. We solve problems with them.

We take the time to deeply understand goals and roadblocks to drive toward outcomes that serve organizations, people, and communities. Through outcomes driven by data analytics, technology solutions, digital transformation, and beyond, our team works with clients in both the public and private sectors to solve their most complex challenges. We start by learning as much as we can about who they are, how they work, and what they're striving for so we can feel their problems as our own. Partnering with our clients means their desired outcomes are always top of mind, their challenges and strengths guiding our efforts. We build client-focused relationships before we build unique solutions that blaze past expectations.
