Solution Architect

Job description

Solution Architect

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As an experienced cloud computing infrastructure architect, you know how to take advantage of cloud capabilities. Here, you'll oversee our team of experienced professionals and use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to guide your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. We're looking for someone like you to help enhancing the environment for our warfighters.

You Have:

10+ years of experience designing and owning implementation of cloud infrastructure in enterprise or mission environments, including networking, identity, compute, and storage

Experience with enterprise virtualization, distributed infrastructure, and data platform architecture, including environments operating under degraded connectivity, air-gap, or multi-tenant constraints

Experience with large-scale log management, security monitoring, or SIEM platform architecture, including designing from scratch, consolidating existing tooling, or migrating between platforms

Experience with DevOps practices and automation, including containerization, orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline design, including in restricted or classified environments where standard toolchains don't apply out of the box

Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into engineering workflows or production environments, including surfacing LLM-backed tooling to extend what a small team can deliver

Experience making sound architectural decisions when the environment works against you, including restricted toolchains, contested network conditions, imposed timelines, or requirements that shift mid-execution

Ability to enter an unfamiliar technology, develop genuine working knowledge rapidly, and lead others through implementation

Ability to architect under ambiguity, own the outcome alongside engineers, and communicate decisions clearly to both technical teams and senior non-technical stakeholders

Secret clearance

Bachelor's degree

Nice If You Have:

Experience working across multiple cloud providers or classification levels on the same program, including navigating the translation between platforms

Experience on a large defense program or with a major systems integrator, including delivering under bureaucratic friction without losing technical momentum

Experience supporting DoD installations or integrating with mission or C2 systems across NIPR, SIPR, or coalition networks, including where the technical environment was inherited, undocumented, or both

Experience building agentic workflows, automation pipelines, or custom tooling that meaningfully changed what your team could ship

Experience in a technical lead or principal role where you were accountable for both the architecture and whether it actually got delivered

Experience operating on a tiger team, rapid response unit, or equivalent, parachuting into a problem, delivering under compressed timelines, and moving on cleanly
