Solutions Architect, Growth

Location: Tysons Corner

Overview

LMI is seeking an experienced Solutions Architect to join our Growth Operations organization and serve as the technical backbone of our client-facing business development efforts. This role sits on the BD/capture side: you'll architect the technical solutions behind our pursuits. That said, credible architecture comes from recent, hands-on experience developing and implementing solutions on a delivery project. That background is what lets a solution hold up under evaluator scrutiny and translate cleanly into delivery.

This is a high-visibility position for someone who enjoys translating agency mission needs and RFP/RFI requirements into differentiated technical solutions, and who wants to apply real engineering judgment earned through hands-on delivery to the sales cycle. You will influence what we pursue, how we compete, and how we bring new capabilities to government customers.

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors-helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

* Use AI-enabled tools to accelerate research, analysis, concept development, drafting, and solution visualization, applying sound judgment on accuracy, security, privacy, and human oversight.

Qualifications

* 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and delivering technical solutions as a practicing architect or engineer, most recently within a government contracting or systems integrator environment, across one or more of: cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP Gov Cloud), enterprise data platforms, application modernization, cybersecurity, or AI/automation. That background is what allows a candidate to credibly architect solutions that survive evaluator scrutiny and transition cleanly into delivery.

* Proven ability to translate requirements from RFPs/RFIs/Sources Sought into compelling, compliant, and deliverable technical solutions.
