Cloud Sales Architect - Remote U.S.

***CLOUD SALES ARCHITECT***

Remote U.S. or Canada-based Role

Altera Cloud, a member of the N. Harris Computer Corporation family,  delivers secure, high-performance cloud platforms built for healthcare and beyond. With decades of experience hosting and managing electronic health records (EHRs), we understand the mission-critical nature of clinical and enterprise systems. Today, that same expertise extends across industries, helping organizations modernize, optimize, and run their applications in Microsoft Azure with unmatched reliability.

JOB SUMMARY

The Cloud Sales Architect role bridges technical depth with business insight — turning client goals into scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions across Azure and AWS.

The primary objective of this role is to build a net new pipeline by expanding Altera Cloud’s reach beyond the traditional EMR/EPR client base to target a broader prospective client base. You’ll lead technical strategy, design custom, one-off architectures, develop proposals, and guide new clients through their cloud adoption journey.

• Design Custom Solutions: Translate complex business and technical requirements into comprehensive cloud architectures.
• Engage Clients: Lead technical discussions, deliver demos and proof-of-concepts, and serve as a trusted advisor to executive and technical stakeholders.
• Support Sales: Build technical estimates, craft proposals, and qualify opportunities alongside account teams.
• Discovery & Strategy: Conduct deep technical assessments to identify current challenges, future goals, and opportunities for innovation.
• Optimize for Value: Ensure solutions are cost-effective, secure, and aligned with long-term business outcomes.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with sales, engineering, and delivery teams to ensure smooth implementation and client success.

• Must hold relevant architect certifications. Able to design scalable, resilient and secure cloud solutions on Azure and AWS.

TRAVEL 

Travel is estimated at up to 50%, primarily driven by the need to conduct in-person client visits, attend conferences, and proactively build the new business pipeline across the U.S. and Canada. The successful candidate will be expected to drive their own travel schedule based on pipeline needs.

WORKING ARRANGEMENTS 

This is a remote position open to candidates within the United States and Canada. The role is focused exclusively on U.S. and Canadian markets. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who operates effectively within a supportive, large technical organization.
