About The Position

Kentro is hiring a Remote Solutions Architect to support the VA ESOM contract within its data and technical architecture function on a large federal enterprise IT program. The role is assigned to a delivery pillar and works alongside that pillar’s team to develop its technical strategy, including its current state, near-term roadmap, risks, dependencies, and input to program-level technical reviews. This is a developing role performed under the direction of program technical leadership; ownership and independence are expected to grow as the employee demonstrates command of the assigned pillar. The position may be performed remotely within the United States and supports Eastern Time working hours. The anticipated base salary range is $145,000–$195,000 annually. Final compensation depends on role requirements, relevant skills, experience, education, certifications, work location, applicable clearance requirements, market conditions, internal equity, and contract requirements. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and be willing and able to obtain and maintain Public Trust clearance.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 6–10 years of experience in IT operations, systems engineering, or a related technical delivery role.
• Foundational understanding of enterprise IT architecture concepts, including how systems, data, and services relate within a larger environment.
• Strong written communication skills and ability to document a technical strategy or roadmap clearly for a non-technical audience.
• Comfort asking questions and escalating issues rather than guessing when something falls outside current knowledge.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder).
• Must be willing and able to obtain and maintain Public Trust clearance.
• Must meet updated identification requirements or be willing and able to update current forms of ID in a timely manner to complete the suitability process.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with the ServiceNow platform or a comparable ITSM/ITOM tool.
• Prior experience supporting a federal program, including familiarity with federal data handling and records requirements.
• Exposure to proposal writing, capture support, or other business development activity.
• Experience in a program delivery domain such as endpoint operations, platform engineering, service management, or asset management.

Responsibilities

• Work with the assigned delivery pillar’s team to document and maintain its technical strategy, including current state, near-term roadmap, and known risks or dependencies.
• Support preparation of pillar-level content for program management reviews and other recurring technical checkpoints under the direction of program technical leadership.
• Participate in architecture and solutioning discussions for the assigned pillar and build working knowledge of the broader program technical environment over time.
• Identify and document innovation or improvement opportunities within the assigned pillar for program-level tracking.
• Contribute pillar-specific technical content to proposals, white papers, and capture materials as requested.
• Escalate technical risks or architecture questions outside the pillar’s scope to program technical leadership rather than resolving them independently.
• Take on increasing ownership of the pillar’s technical strategy as competency is demonstrated, with a path toward representing the pillar with less direct oversight.

Benefits

• Paid time off.
• Healthcare benefits.
• Supplemental benefits.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Discount perks and rewards.
• Education reimbursement for certifications, degrees, or professional development, subject to IRS limitations.
• Flexibility to take courses, complete certifications, and pursue professional growth and networking.
• Virtual and in-person activities, including happy hours, holiday events, fitness and wellness events, and annual celebrations.
