  • Ensure solutions incorporate security, performance, reliability, and scalability considerations throughout the development lifecycle
  • Partner with DevSecOps teams to promote automated testing, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and infrastructure-as-code practices
  • Develop and maintain architecture artifacts including solution diagrams, technical documentation, and architecture roadmaps
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams and other technical staff
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, engineering, security, infrastructure, and operations to ensure cohesive solution delivery
  • Support continuous improvement of engineering practices, architecture standards, and technical governance across the program

Qualifications
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 10+ years of professional experience in software engineering, systems architecture, or technical leadership roles
  • Demonstrated experience designing and implementing complex software or enterprise technology solutions
  • Experience defining solution architectures for distributed systems, APIs, and microservices-based applications
  • Experience supporting cloud-enabled architectures and modern infrastructure platforms
  • Experience working within Agile and DevSecOps environments supporting modern software delivery practices
  • Experience integrating applications, services, and platforms across enterprise environments
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate technologies and recommend architectural approaches based on technical and mission requirements
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience leading or guiding engineering teams through architecture design and implementation decisions
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
  • Ability to establish credibility with stakeholders and build consensus across technical and program teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce architecture documentation and technical design artifacts
