Herndon, VA, 20171
Reference ID: 32818025
Date Posted: 10/17/2026
Apply now: Principal Cloud Architect (SAP), location is Hybrid Herndon, VA (onsite 2–3 days/week, Tue–Thu). The start date is ASAP for this contract-to-hire position.
Job Title: Principal Cloud Architect (SAP)
Location-Type: Hybrid Herndon, VA (onsite 2–3 days/week, Tuesday–Thursday); periodic customer travel
Start Date Is: ASAP (typically ~3 weeks from offer)
Duration: Contract-to-hire (6–12 month W2 contract, with conversion targeted at the 6-month mark)
Compensation Range: $90–100/hr W2
Benefits: Eligible for Health, Dental, Vision, 401K
Must be authorized to work in the U.S. This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
Job Description:
- Serve as the overarching technical architect for a leading enterprise software provider's largest and most strategic federal, defense, and national security customers, guiding them through SAP cloud and AI modernization.
- Lead discovery and business transformation workshops to assess customers' current ( "as-is ") SAP environments, uncover business and technical challenges, and define future-state goals.
- Translate discovery findings into heatmaps, transition plans, target-state architecture diagrams, and modernization roadmaps aligned to the customer's mission and business strategy.
- Operate at two levels: connect architecture decisions to mission, business objectives, risk, cost, and long-term roadmap at the executive level and go deep on S/4HANA deployment models, RISE, BTP, Integration Suite, APIs, PI/PO modernization, Datasphere, HANA, BW, and cloud architecture when the conversation calls for it.
- Advise rather than sell: help customers understand why a particular SAP capability fits their business problem, including capabilities they hadn't initially considered, and articulate the business value and long-term architectural impact.
- Collaborate with functional architects, enterprise architects, engagement leads, implementation teams, and SAP subject-matter experts, and stay engaged through delivery to ensure the architecture is executed as designed.
- Expect roughly 25% hands-on work you'll be diagramming architecture for customers far more often than personally building components, with delivery teams supporting implementation.
Minimum Requirements:
- 10 years of hands-on SAP configuration and implementation experience, plus 5 years in architecture, strategy, and solution conceptualization.
- A career built through the SAP technical stack ideally starting in SAP Basis, progressing through BTP, and into architecture.
- Hands-on technical work within the last 5 years; this is not a role for architects who have moved entirely away from the technical details.
- Deep experience with SAP ECC, S/4HANA (private and public cloud), SAP BTP, and RISE with SAP.
- Strong knowledge across integration architecture (PI/PO to Integration Suite, APIs), data architecture (Datasphere, HANA, BW/4HANA, BDC, MDG), security and compliance (GRC, IdM), ALM (Solution Manager, Cloud ALM), and cloud infrastructure (BTP, AWS, Azure).
- Proven experience leading customer-facing discovery/BTS workshops, building executive relationships, and translating business needs into technical roadmaps.
- Comfortable discussing SAP AI capabilities (Joule, SAP Business AI) and customer use cases; you don't need to be an AI specialist.
- Excellent executive-level facilitation, presentation, and communication skills, with the ability to estimate the financial impact of architectural alternatives.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- SAP LeanIX
- SAP Signavio
- Cloud ALM or TOGAF certification;
- Aerospace & Defense or Public Sector implementation experience.
