Solutions Architect / Technical Lead

CGI • Washington, DC

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a hands-on technical lead and architect for a new AI-assisted platform. You'll own how the whole system fits together: AI-powered document processing, a rules engine that applies complex eligibility rules, and the workflow, all running securely in AWS GovCloud. As the team's senior technical authority, you'll set the architecture and engineering standards, make the key design decisions and keep a multidisciplinary team aligned and unblocked. This position is located in our Fairfax, VA, Knoxville, TN, Belton, TX, Lebanon, VA or Lafayette, LA office; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including senior architecture ownership of a non-trivial distributed or data-processing system.
• Demonstrated experience designing on AWS (GovCloud or commercial), including IAM, data boundaries, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Track record owning a shared data contract / API between independent teams and enforcing it in practice.
• Must be a US person and able to obtain the suitability/clearance required for an AWS GovCloud environment.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in a relevant field.
• Prior federal / regulated-data delivery experience (FISMA, ATO context).
• Experience with LLM-integrated or document-processing systems.
• Experience leading teams building against shared interfaces / data contracts.

Responsibilities

• Own the overall system architecture end to end: document intake and AI extraction, the rules engine, the human-review workflow, and reporting — all in AWS GovCloud.
• Define the core data model and the interfaces between major components so teams can build against stable contracts.
• Set the engineering standards the team works to: version control of rules and data, end-to-end traceability of every fact and decision, and strong automated testing.
• Work closely with the security engineer so the design will meet its federal security authorization (ATO) requirements from the start, rather than being reworked late.
• Stay hands-on: lead by designing alongside the team and unblocking senior engineers on the hardest technical problems.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive insurance options
• Matching contributions through the 401(k) plan and the share purchase plan
• Paid time off for vacation, holidays, and sick time
• Paid parental leave
• Learning opportunities and tuition assistance
• Wellness and Well-being programs
