- Requirements Analysis: Collaborate with technical leads and stakeholders to decompose functional, operational, and mission requirements into structured solution designs and technical user stories.
- Artifact Development: Produce and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including system-of-systems diagrams, interface control documents, and architectural blueprints for government review.
- System Integration: Support the integration of multi-tier software applications, cloud hosting infrastructure, data engineering pipelines, and emerging artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) workflows.
- Engineering Collaboration: Partner with software development, infrastructure, and test teams to provide architectural guidance, troubleshoot technical challenges, and ensure compliance with design standards.
- Security & Compliance Alignment: Incorporate federal security baselines into architectural designs, supporting compliance with NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), FedRAMP, and DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (IL2–IL6).
- Process Enablement: Apply cloud-native design patterns, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and Agile development methodologies to support continuous delivery.
Required Skills
- Security Clearance & Eligibility: Active DoD Secret security clearance and U.S. Citizenship (mandated by federal contract requirements).
- Professional Experience: 4+ years of professional technical experience in software engineering, systems engineering, cloud engineering, or solutions architecture.
- Cloud Platforms: Demonstrated experience designing, configuring, or deploying solutions within cloud computing environments (AWS preferred).
- Application Architecture: Working knowledge of microservices architectures, full-stack design patterns, and API integration standards (REST, GraphQL).
- Infrastructure Automation & Containers: Practical experience using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- DevSecOps & CI/CD: Hands-on experience with automated CI/CD pipelines, version control workflows, and integrated security scanning practices.
- Communication & Documentation: Demonstrated ability to create clear technical documentation and communicate complex technical concepts effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Desired Skills
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (or equivalent industry certification from Azure or GCP).
- Prior experience delivering technical solutions within federal government or DoD contract environments.
- Experience utilizing collaboration and data platforms such as GitLab, Jira, and Databricks.
- Exposure to modern data architectures (e.g., data lakes, distributed data processing, ETL/ELT pipelines, Apache Spark).
- Familiarity with AI/ML integration concepts (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation [RAG], LLM APIs, MLOps workflows).
- Experience operating within Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe).
