At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a Solutions Architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together.

Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in the federal government?

As an AWS Solution Architect on our team, you’ll translate customer IT needs and future goals into actionable cloud architectures by crafting architecture diagrams, requirements, design specifications, and evaluation criteria. Through your leadership, you’ll help modernize legacy systems, lead cloud migrations to AWS, and integrate advanced technologies using scalable, secure, and resilient AWS services.

At this level, your impact goes beyond delivery. You’ll mentor engineers and architects, shape cloud strategy, influence technical direction, and identify opportunities to grow our digital solutions business.

Work with us and help build the future of technology in the federal government.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
