About The Position

The Opportunity: At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance.

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.

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.
