About The Position

Join NAVSEA as the Lead Enterprise Architect for the Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES). In this role, you will design and evolve enterprise-scale cloud architectures that support mission-critical naval ship and submarine maintenance applications, system integrations, and data platforms. You will architect solutions serving 45,000+ users across Navy Shipyards and Intermediate Maintenance Facilities worldwide, lead the modernization of legacy hosting environments through cloud-native services and automation, and guide the long-term technical direction of the NMMES cloud ecosystem. This position oversees the full enterprise architecture lifecycle—from strategy and design through implementation and continuous evolution—while applying SAFe Agile practices to improve architectural governance, delivery efficiency, and team collaboration.
