Job Description
The Solutions Architect plays a critical role in a major modernization initiative to re‑engineer and re‑platform mission‑critical applications. This position is responsible for designing application systems that support multiple lines of business, identifying technical components—including open source tools and SaaS solutions—that align with the organization’s strategy for building loosely coupled, scalable applications. The role focuses on leveraging emerging technologies and architectural best practices to improve customer experience, increase operational efficiency, and strengthen competitive advantage. Working collaboratively across the federated architecture team, application development teams, infrastructure, the PMO, business units, the Chief Data Office (CDO), and external partners, the Solutions Architect develops proofs of concept, prototypes, and technical validations to support strategic decision‑making. The ideal candidate brings experience operating in a transformative environment and excels at rapidly evaluating and validating complex technical concepts using a variety of approaches.
Currently, this is a remote‑first position, and this position may be required to periodically work on‑site at the office depending on department or division requirements. Therefore, candidates must either reside within a reasonable commuting distance or be willing to travel to the office in Herndon, VA, when required.
How You Contribute
- Demonstrate core competencies including customer focus, optimizing work processes, collaboration, effective communication, and openness and authenticity.
- Develop current and future‑state architectures that advance customer experience, organizational excellence, and brand growth. Make recommendations regarding strategic architectural considerations related to technology direction and standards.
- Develop an understanding of the business model—including processes, application architectures, and supporting systems—to define and design solutions that work within the enterprise environment and satisfy business requirements.
- Develop design artifacts that describe the structure, characteristics, behavior, workflow, and other aspects of the solution to project stakeholders.
- Understand all aspects of project constraints including scope, schedule, budget, quality, cost, risk, and resources. Recommend and make technological and managerial decisions to reconcile these constraints with project goals.
- Present design solutions to the Architecture Review Board (ARB) for approval. Collaborate with stakeholders, application development teams, and ARB members to develop and refine application designs prior to presenting to the ARB.
- Investigate new solutions using custom‑developed software, commercial software, and open source software.
- Develop platform technology roadmaps, including SaaS, PaaS, custom software, third‑party offerings, open source components, and other technology solutions.
- Define strategies and architectures for application modernization and cloud migration, including refactoring, re‑platforming, and adoption of cloud‑native patterns.
- Ensure a loosely coupled, scalable architecture through effective design and governance of service interfaces and modular components, and establish standards for internal and external integrations.
- Work independently or collaboratively to prototype and validate architectural approaches and reduce delivery risk.
- Embed security‑by‑design principles into solution architectures and adapt designs to evolving security, risk, and compliance requirements.
- Contribute to the definition and evolution of application and architecture standards and design patterns, and actively participate in architecture governance and ARB processes.
- Position may be required to perform other duties as assigned. Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
What You Bring to the Table
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field; equivalent education and experience will be considered.
- 10 years of software development experience in mid‑ to large‑scale organizations, including technical leadership experience.
- 5 years of experience defining architectures, including current‑state, future‑state, and enterprise technology roadmaps, working with commercial, open‑source, and cloud solutions, including prototypes and integration models.
- Proficiency creating logical, physical, and functional views; process flow diagrams; and system integration diagrams.
- Strong negotiation, influencing, problem‑solving, and analytical skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools.
