  • 10+ years of federal cloud architecture experience with demonstrated ownership of large-scale production architecture on AWS GovCloud
  • Deep expertise in EKS at enterprise scale, AWS managed services (RDS, MSK, ElastiCache, DocumentDB, S3, Kinesis), and cloud-native platform design
  • Expert-level Istio, HashiCorp Vault & Consul, and multi-VPC networking in AWS GovCloud
  • Multi-region active/passive failover design with stringent RPO/RTO SLA accountability
  • Familiarity with VistA RPC, Oracle Health integration, and VA Enterprise integration patterns (VA Profile, MPI, VADIR, eCMS)
  • Strong written communication; ability to author Architecture Packages and present to non-technical VA leadership
  • Active Dept of Veteran Affairs PIV credentials
Preferred
  • AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification
