  • Draft sections of technical proposal volumes for review and refinement by senior solution leads.
  • Conduct technology research - vendor capabilities, federal compliance requirements, emerging trends - to support solution decisions.
  • Participate in solutioning sessions, customer meetings, and capture activities as a learning and contributing team member.
  • Build familiarity with federal acquisition processes, the proposal lifecycle, and gate review framework.
  • Contribute to internal initiatives such as reusable artifact development, technology assessments, and CTO Office tools.

  • Foundational hands‑on experience in at least one architecture domain: cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), application development, cybersecurity, data/AI, IT operations, or DevSecOps.
  • Strong learning agility and intellectual curiosity - able to quickly come up to speed on new technologies, customer missions, and business processes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to organize technical information clearly.
  • Comfort working in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment with multiple concurrent priorities.
  • U.S. Citizenship required; must have the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Internship or co‑op experience supporting federal customers, large systems integrators, or enterprise IT environments.
  • Entry‑level professional certifications: AWS Cloud Practitioner, Azure Fundamentals, Security+, or similar.
  • Exposure to generative AI, agentic AI, AIOps, zero trust, or other emerging technologies through coursework or projects.
  • Familiarity with Agile/SAFe delivery methodologies or DevSecOps practices.
